Been designing distributed counters for NATS. Pretty happy with this.
50k/second unoptimised and on a single counter - but we will support aggregation of regional to global etc.
Hard dist sys problems made trivial to use and operate 💪💪

I just ordered Gullo's hosting nat vps. It was $3.50/year. https://hosting.gullo.me

What I did was run this script to convert it into alpine linux

Not sure any longer which libraries your script actually needs? #rstats

#Clojure map-interval
Like `map` -- apply function `f` to each element in `col` in turn and return the values returned in sequence, but in a single thread and pausing between each invocation of `f`.

Useful for example in circumstances where you're querying a rate-limited service.

A very simple code to describe emotions or how does this work in real life?!?? ;)
```rust
#[allow(warnings)]
fn main() {
let mut emo: &str;
match 1 1 == 0b10 {
true => emo = "🤓",
_ => emo = "😵‍💫",
};
println!("Perception: {}", emo);
}
```

New Gist: News of the World
Strange that Nigel Farage, the answer to the question 'what if nicotine-stained fingers became a whole person?', would buck the international trend against Trumpist rightwing populism but do remember that all these votes were only cast in England.

@rustaceans@mastodon.social Here's my take on the challenge from issue 62!
@… Didn't benchmark or anything, but the algo only goes over the list once to sort it (worst case `O(n * log(n))`) and then once to merge the ranges (`O(n)`).
Run on the playground: #RustLang #rust #algorithm #RustBytes

There was somebody fussing in my replies to my last link to my blog post about Medium (I don’t see them now; they probably blocked me, but their specific words don’t really matter), and the gist of their message was that they didn’t like that site. On the modern internet, if you have an issue with content written by humans, with no surveillance ads, that doesn’t allow AI scraping or AI slop content, with a business model that makes money… I don’t know how to help you. Honestly.

What right does Ireland have to inspect planes landing in Shannon?
What if I told you the EU requires an inspection regime to confirm a plane’s contents has been declared?

Nottingham May Day march
Out by the Central Library listening to May Day March speeches.
Lots of Palestine flags, Nottingham Against Transphobia, banners from Unison, Royal College of Nursing. Also Stand Up to Racism, who in my book are still questionable due to their links with the SWP.
Apparently there's some current strike action about back pay for health workers, I only got the gist of it.
Also heard from Save Our Services, and just now it was Shuguftah Quddoos speaking on behalf of the Green Party. Last I heard, Shuguftah was Labour, but apparently not any more!
