Rust

This would entail:

• Pulling in the ClearUrls rules as a git submodule.
• Reading / transforming the json there into Rust structs.
• Creating a Rust crate that runs a .clean(input_url) -> String

Lemmy issue: https://github.com/LemmyNet/lemmy/issues/4905

• Added type diesel_async::pooled_connection::mobc::PooledConnection
• MySQL/MariaDB now use CLIENT_FOUND_ROWS capability to allow consistent behaviour with PostgreSQL regarding return value of UPDATe commands.
• The minimal supported rust version is now 1.78.0
• Add a SyncConnectionWrapper type that turns a sync connection into an async one. This enables SQLite support for diesel-async
• Add support for diesel::connection::Instrumentation to support logging and other instrumentation for any of the provided connection impls.
• Bump minimal supported mysql_async version to 0.34

A special thanks goes to @momobel and Wattsense for contributing the SyncConnectionWrapper implementation.

To support future development efforts, please consider sponsoring me on GitHub.

Full Changelog: v0.4.0...v0.5.0

I hope this slightly off-topic post is ok here. Today the Fediverse Canvas 2024 event begun and I thought it would be nice to add Ferris to the canvas. I started with a couple of pixels, but after a while I got distracted with other things. When I came back, I found that some of you have already finished it 🦀

Btw. Ferris sits on top of the Godot logo (bottom and slightly right).

Hi rustaceans! What are you working on this week? Did you discover something new, you want to share?

We finally were able to finish the sync with the Rust compiler and now support the types f16 and f128!

I had a lot of stuff going on lately in my private life, so I wasn't able to work as much as I wanted on rustc_codegen_gcc. Hopefully, it should be back to normal after my vacation.

It's less than two weeks until our next Rust and NixOS meetup in Mannheim, Germany. We're meeting on the 16th of July at the Mafinex technology center close to the main station. If you want to join us, please sign up for the event on Mobilizon (no account required) or Meetup.com.

https://www.meetup.com/hackschool-rhein-neckar/events/301504325/

As first talk, we will hear Andre Dossinger on "Using NixOS for Pragmatical Self-hosting", where he will show us how NixOS can be used in a problem oriented manner to preserve privacy and make complex setups manageable. Questions and discussions are highly encouraged!

Then, we will hear Benjamin Sparks on "Reading from Streams and Writing to Sinks" using Rust and Tokio, with a focus on low runtime overhead, safe buffer management, and robust error handling. He will show us the types and traits Tokio leverages to efficiently decode bytes and encode structured data in a type-safe manner is presented, and give us a practical demonstration of codecs for two different protocols.

Finally, Stefan Machmeier of the EMCL at Heidelberg University will give us an introduction to Nix Flakes, the experimental dependency management system built into Nix since version 2.4 that can be used for reusable Nix libraries as well as your own Nix packages and NixOS configurations.

The talks will be recorded and uploaded after the meetup.

Rust adoption is stagnating not because it's missing some feature pushed by programming language theory enthusiasts, but because of a lack of focus on solving the practical problems that developers are facing every day.

... no company outside of AWS is making SDKs for Rust ... it has no official HTTP library.

As a result of Rust's lack of official packages, even its core infrastructure components need to import hundreds of third-party crates.

• cargo imports over 400 crates.

• crates.io has over 500 transitive dependencies.

...the offical libsignal (from the Signal messaging app) uses 500 third-party packages.

... what is really inside these packages. It has been found last month that among the 999 most popular packages on crates.io, the content of around 20% of these doesn't even match the content of their Git repository.

...how I would do it (there may be better ways):

A stdx (for std eXtended) under the rust-lang organization containing the most-needed packages. ... to make it secure: all packages in stdx can only import packages from std or stdx. No third-party imports. No supply-chain risks.

[stdx packages to include, among others]:

gzip, hex, http, json, net, rand

Read Rust has a HUGE supply chain security problem

Submitter's note:

I find the author's writing style immature, sensationalist, and tiresome, but they raise a number of what appear to be solid points, some of which are highlighted above.

Hi rustaceans! What are you working on this week? Did you discover something new, you want to share?

Rust Rover is out of preview and is free for non-commercial use. The only caveat is:

It’s also important to note that if you’re using a non-commercial license, you cannot opt out of the collection of anonymous usage statistics.

Found this on Mastodon https://fosstodon.org/@dpom/112681955888465502 , and it is a very nice overview of the containers and their layout.

Hi rustaceans! What are you working on this week? Did you discover something new, you want to share?

Is there a good general-ish purpose scripting language (something like Lua on the smaller end or Python on the bigger) that’s implemented in only Rust, ideally with a relatively low number of dependencies?

Have you used it yourself, if so for what and what was your experience?

Bonus points if it’s reasonably fast (ideally JITed, though I’m not sure if that’s been done at all in Rust).

I've needed to detect a frequency of an audio signal a couple of times in my life, but I cannot for the love of me remember what does the FFT output actually mean. So I took this knowledge out of my latest project and packed it up in this crate.

Also this is my first potentially useful published crate, so if I missed anything, please let me know!
