<p>I converted with claude
Use my repo for lsp.nix as neovims new v10 has a new way of configuring lsp's as lspconfig is depreciated, so I used the new  lsp configuration method but went doc hunting to find out I need lspconfig for proper completions! ( I'll give it a push now to ensure it's my latest version)</p>

<p>If engines are hard to build, why not build a car 3x the size of a normal one, well you can but due to things like aerodynamics, etc etc you'll never match the speed or fuel economy of cars.<p>Same with chips, efficiency, speed, etc all depend on good design, and cutting edge factors, if the main reason your chip isn't faster is because of the distance between your L1 cache and your core is far, then having a bigger node process but bigger chip won't make it quicker.</p>

<p>Hihi I'm looking for an example of a well designed api that's a small scope, a lot of places I've tried to learn from are such monoliths that where to start is daunting<p>Preferrably an open source project<p>I'd prefer: 
REST/gRPC/ contained and hopefully not something huge 
Go/Rust/Python/js-ts ( in that order!!)<p>Apologies if this is the wrong place to ask! Thank you</p>

<p>As someone who has only used zig a little<p>I've has more core dumps/seg faults than any other language I've ever used.<p>Skill issue? Yes, 100℅, it's definitely due to my lack of skill in the language<p>The only time I've ever made a rust program seg fault is when using nightly macros/"features" and being on stable, leading to rustc crashing with a nice error and then I change to nightly<p>and that was caught at compile time...<p>Skill is a huge factor in safety<p>"70% of vulns are..."
Yes, production code written at huge companies by experts...  If experts are making those mistakes, that says a lot about it IMO<p>That being said, I'm not a "one language for all", they have their place, embedded rust is hilarious as it's essentially a requirement to have unsafe blocks in your initialisation<p>Anyway rant over</p>

<p>Personally I've spent a lot of time coding in go relative to my total time programming<p>An introduction into topics that are a bit deeper than typical are very interesting to me<p>It may not make me an expert in the topic reading this, but it at least gives me some new information and if I'd like to know more, I know what to look for.<p>Before this article if I wanted to know more my searches would be "How does Go memory management work"<p>Maybe I'm in a minority as this being not trivial information to me though</p>

<p>Pretty cool<p>Short thing, when I built something similar using chromedp I had to scroll on some pages to properly render all of them, due to lazy rendering on some websites  ( also some pages had infinite scroll so had to break after a certain amount scrolled)<p>Might be worth adding it as an option ( unless it is already)<p>Nice project</p>
