Ostatnigrosh — Sat, 25 Oct 2025 21:07:50 +0000

I'd probably agree with most in the comment section. Comparing Rust & Zig is not productive. I spent the last month familiarizing myself with Zig after having done a 2 years stint with Rust and Zig is a much younger language with a far smaller ecosystem to work with. If I were to reach for C i'd recommend Zig. If I were reaching for C++ then it would be Rust.

Both are fantastic languages and I hope to see them both evolve in years to come. Zig has a longer road ahead but it really is elegant and simple to work with.

It definitely seems to be that way.

After reading the comments, I’d like to clarify a few things. This article isn’t meant to pitch a fraud scoring product. I recently discovered that several states publish VIN level data and, as a weekend project, decided to dig a bit deeper to see what I could learn. Given more time, I’d refine the analysis by normalizing against registration volumes, flagging outliers, and so on but for now I simply want to share an interesting glimpse at what ive found.

I haven't ever considered the self grading approach. Going to try that out!

This is exactly the wrong mentality to have about new technology.

Ostatnigrosh — Mon, 16 Dec 2024 05:46:04 +0000

Neat! Really curious how you managed to outperform DuckDB 5x. Do you see yourself maintaining this long term? would love to use polars as my one stop shop + plugins rather than pulling in additional tooling.

Over the course of a year, I've become obsessed with speeding up all things python. Drawing inspiration from authors of UV, Pydantic, Polars I set out to build an amazingly fast python email validator. Let me know what you think!

Check out my first rust project. The inspiration came from `cargo-udeps` and I was reading zero2production. I realize that `UV` does all of this out of the box, but I still wanted to challenge myself. Let me know what you think.

I've created a simple, user friendly CLI tool to visualize used, unused, and untracked python packages of a project + the disk usage.

This is awesome! I've been looking for new ways to meet/find developers in my area. Are you looking to add new filters? (Filter by top language, number of stars, etc). I would be really interested in helping you on this

Promised~ Payments

Ostatnigrosh — Sun, 29 Oct 2023 01:49:26 +0000

What if there was a platform for ~promised~ payments between friends linked to banks or Venmo? Would you find it useful? I send a "promise" to someone that a payment will be fulfilled by X date.
