  • The performance is just a “nice to have”.

    Python package management, especially at scale is infuriating. At work we use python microservices in docker containers and it infuriates me trying to update the one our team is responsible for.

    I always like to rant that python 3rd party package management tools are a mistake. We should’ve gone for an “as simple as possible” setup instead of all this.

    So I’m sceptical of UV on principle since it’s yet another 3rd party package manager but if it can do all of this and not be a nightmare I’ll be ok with it.



  • The AOSP is a huge success and phones are really only the tip of the iceberg, android runs everywhere and is basically responsible for the mainstream adoption of “smart” devices.

    It’s a small OS that runs on basically anything and you can stick it on most computers regardless of how strange the hardware setup is.

    Is it perfect? No, as a project android is basically maintained by Google alone and Google obviously doesn’t think it’s perfect, or fuschia wouldn’t exist.




  • It looks like it’s 3x faster than the previous cpython wasm compilation. Recall that most of the performance improvements in python have been done in the last ~2 releases.

    My distro is debian based so it’s still on 3.10 which I would guess this new wasm implementation is much closer to in performance.

    Compiling to wasm also means that you can distribute a binary rather than needing people to have python installed.








  • I’m not sure if the rules are different with macros, I’ve never written one but this lint is generally caused because you set a var to a value and then overwrite that value before you use it. e.g.

    let mut a = 1; a = 2; println!(“{}”, a);

    This will throw the same warning because 1 is never used, this could’ve just been:

    let a = 2; println!(“{}”, a);

    So first I’d double check that I NEED last at all. Maybe try:

    cargo clippy

    See if it can tell you how to fix it.

    If that doesn’t work, it’s sometimes necessary to skip certain lints. E.g. if you make a library, most of the code will be flagged as dead code because it isn’t used and you can use an #[allow(dead_code)] to stop the linter warning. You might be able to use #[allow(this_linting_rule)].

    Hope something here helps.


  • It’s already been said a couple times but if your more experienced team members are saying, “that’s a really weird task” the issue is probably the task not you.

    Having daily meetings with a senior because you’re having a lot of trouble progressing isn’t necessarily a bad thing. Everyone has jobs that are absolute ordeals and sometimes it’s better to break them down even further and just go one step at a time.

    Also, are you involved in your team sprint planning? Who says “this ticket is a 1 day job” that should be your teammates, or at least a subset of them? Why did they decide this was an easy task? What did they, or you, miss in the execution?
