ncurses is actually newer than the web - it's from 1993 and Tim starts the web in 1991 But it's called ncurses because it's the *new* curses. The curses library was invented to improve Rogue, over a decade earlier, so curses does pre-date the web and even most GUIs

The goal you mentioned at the start of the video (reserve the last line of the terminal for input and have conversations go on above it), reminds me when I was in high school and wanted to make my own terminal chat application. I also didn't want to use any library, and more importantly, was too lazy to learn ncurses. So I did it the non-portable hacky way as one would. Whenever a new message was received, I would just print "\b" `our_length` amount of times, where `our_length` is the length of the message our user is currently typing. Then print " " (space) `our_length` amount of times (\b doesn't remove the characters, it just makes ur cursor go back, so u need to write over them with a whitespace character). Now again print \b `our_length` amount of times to go back to the start of the line. Now print the received message, and then in the next line, print the user's currently typed-out message. This gave the illusion that the user has a dedicated text field.

@Bobbias 6 ай бұрын

That's partly due to node's godawful community though. When you're developing a library, you need to be extra aware of any dependencies you pull in. For small things which are only like 1 or 2 functions, it's often a better idea to just recreate that functionality yourself rather than include an otherwise unnecessary extra dependency. When writing something which isn't intended to be consumed as a dependency itself there's less need to be quite so paranoid about things.

@Jack-sy6di 6 ай бұрын

@@Bobbias A decent model might be to have two ways of adding a library, either as a "dependency" or just copy-pasting it into your source tree. You could imagine something like "npm copy" to just stick the files right in your src/ so you can use them or modify them as if they were your own source code.

Why do people feel this need for validation. Does the library do what you need ? Do any other libraries have a feature the one you are using doesn't have, no, then I fail to see the problem. If they have then you swap the libraries, or implement the feature in the library you're using , this is open source, baby. And you literally have the source to fix shit later if it's needed. Why must people only use what's popular. I don't get it, what a stupid metric. If something works, it works, this is engineering, not fashion.

i like to use `anyhow::Result` in my projects cos it's shorter to use `?` than `unwrap` and it's basically `Box` but instead of `Box` they use `Own` or something and provide helper functions like `context` and `bail!`

@yaksher 6 ай бұрын

Specifically, `Box` puts the vtable pointer in the box struct itself, turning it into a wide pointer; by contrast, `anyhow` puts the vtable pointer on the heap next to the thing that's boxed. This is slower, since it requires two dependent indirection where the first approach allows for parallel access (which with CPU pipelining is faster), but you don't really care if accessing your error is marginally slower usually and it means that if your non-error type in result is

@tauraamui 6 ай бұрын

At about 13:59ish minutes in you got annoyed about the compiler telling you you had unused imports and to remove them, but it then required you to put it back. The reason you initially had the unused import warning was because of your unwrap being in the wrong place, and therefore it was never actually requiring that type to be in scope, until you moved unwap to the correct line. I am no fan of Rust, but to be fair that isn't something that the compiler would have known to account for.
