I have just finished preparing for the arrow-building process, i.e. deciding which tools are necessary for making wooden and carbon arrows, and which steps are involved. This is only the first step: preparation. I will start building once I have received all the materials.

I agree on most of the points in this article, except for one:

Rust’s goal of providing zero-cost abstractions often comes up in discussions around async Rust and is sometimes misunderstood. For example, the idea that async Rust is a big ecosystem with many crates and building all of those crates as part of your application is a violation of the zero-cost abstractions principle. It isn’t, zero-cost is about runtime performance.

A good zero-cost abstraction should be both about performance AND developer experience.

If handling something as fundamental in modern programming languages like async coroutines ends up with subjecting developers to the whims of opinionated external frameworks like Tokio (which btw competes with Rust’s own async-async-std implementation), building a few MBs of crates every time just to handle this paradigm and understanding how concurrent ownership models are implemented in different frameworks (and even routinely exposing yourself to manual synchronization mechanisms like mutexes, which the whole async paradigm was supposed to hide away as much as possible), then one has to question the whole implementation of the abstraction.

It doesn’t matter if the new abstraction doesn’t impact the performance of the program at runtime, if it doesn’t actually do any good job in reducing the cognitive burden of the developer that uses it and reduce the number of knobs that they have to control.

Leaky abstractions can’t be zero-cost abstractions.

Which btw it doesn’t mean that I have a silver bullet to solve Rust’s async abstraction problem. If you build a language around certain constraints (like mathematically proven memory safety) then you should just acknowledge that some problems that require more flexibility (like shared memory ownership across async components) will be harder to model.

But then let’s just acknowledge that this is a design issue that will always require some level of trade-offs, rather than hiding ourselves behind a “as long as the abstraction doesn’t impact runtime performance then it’s zero-cost”.

AI designers will not let the truth get in the way of creating dependency and addiction among their user base. The core idea is to give this stuff away for free until addiction occurs. Then, you can bleed the user forever, or at least until they commit suicide or go bankrupt. Yes, the AI tech bros are as evil, cruel, mean and greedy as that. AI is gangsterland, grifter paradise

Stop subsidising short-stay investors with dodgy tax perks! A new report from Everybody's Home warns that negative gearing and CGT discounts on short-stay rentals are costing taxpayers $111 million to $556 million annually—while Aussies scramble for long-term housing. These loopholes aren’t just unfair—they’re fueling the housing crisis. Time for reform.
