Re: Vector in Rust

Peter Shinners — Wed, 11 Aug 2021 11:11:45 -0000

One significant difference between iter() and into_iter() is that the into version consumers the vector. You can no longer use the container after coverting it into an iterator.

Re: who Command in Linux

Playing with these examples, I learned it is `who -H`, capital H, to show headers. (At least on my Fedora brand of who)

Re: Images - Vulkan Tutorial

Peter Shinners — Sun, 02 Oct 2016 15:44:40 -0000

In the initial definition of `createTextureImage` there is a call to vkAllocateMemory. The last argument is the old fashioned `&stagingMemory`. It needs to be switched to `stagingMemory.replace()`. This change does happen later when the code is refactored to a separate `createImage` function.

I know there's been long running discussion around a `?` operator, but something similar sounds like an awesome goal for future Rust versions.
```

fn maybe_plus_5(x: i32?) -> i32 {
x.into().unwrap_or(0) + 5
}```

These tutorials have been great! I'm still only half way through.

Re: Rendering and presentation - Vulkan Tutorial

It would be helpful if the start of the Presentation section mentioned the code was happening back in the drawFrame function.

The code for createCommandPool is missing the definition of queueFamilyIndices.

I had to jump to the full source listing to find the first line which was

QueueFamilyIndices queueFamilyIndices = findQueueFamilies(physicalDevice);

Re: reStructuredText vs Markdown for documentation

Peter Shinners — Fri, 17 Jun 2016 11:30:49 -0000

The difference in my mind is the readability of the unmarked up text. Raw markdown text is fairly readable while I find raw ReST to be terrible for reading. Since I expect many users of my inline documentation to be browsing the source directly, I'm fairly opposed to ReST.

The lastest Sphinx added support for the "Google" formatted documentation with a plugin they call Napoleon. This is a huge improvement to the readability of the plain text. It's not really ReST anymore, but something I would consider using. http://www.sphinx-doc.org/e...

Re: Moving Away from Python 2

Peter Shinners — Fri, 20 May 2016 13:10:49 -0000

I hope this forces the inevitable Python 2.8 to release sooner than later. Many want it, but nobody's been pushed far enough to actually go through with it.

I'm always a fan of the stock gnome backgrounds also. Keep it up.

Can you point out any web apis that are "doing it right"? Using proper security, discoverability, and hypermedia?

Re: A Gentle Introduction to Traits in Rust

Shouldn't the Monster's species be "Gelatinous Cube" so that the name can be "Zantar"?

Re: Maximally Minimal Classes for Rust

For your feedback, I really enjoy the entries in this blog. Sometimes the details get over my head, but it is still enjoyable to see how Rust stretches and it grows.

Re: Graceful server shutdown with node.js / express

Peter Shinners — Wed, 23 May 2012 00:43:19 -0000

I copied your example (sans redis). The close callback is not being called when there are any active connections. If node is idle then the signal shuts the app down. When there are active connections I see "Closing", but node never exits and never prints "Closed".

This is with v0.6.12, I don't know if that makes a different from your demo. Any tips or ideas? I am very interested in seeing this work.

Re: Starcraft II Tournament

Peter Shinners — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 03:02:56 -0000

I can only get cheap digital sc2 accounts for myself. They can't be transferred. If it turns out they will really help the pycon tourney, I'll pick a couple up.

Meet at registration desk @ 6? Look for badge with "Peter". I've got a Star craft bag.

I'm itching to work on a few coding projects tonight. Down in the Marriott lobby if you're in the area. I'll be the guy in the black Starcraft shirt, Peter.

Re: cElementTree ftw!

Peter Shinners — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 16:34:50 -0000

Element tree is absolutely awesome. Until someone puts namespaces in the xml, and then it becomes unusable.
