Rust in Large Organizations Notes

Rust in Large Organizations

Initially taken by Niko Matsakis and lightly edited by Ryan Levick

Agenda

  • Introductions
  • Cargo inside large build systems
  • FFI
  • Foundations and financial support

Where you able to produce a binary directly from the Rust build tools that you could submit to the app/play store?


Not quite, but I tried to get as close to that as was reasonably possible. Alas, things ended up a little convoluted.

For iOS, I have a nearly empty Xcode project with a build script that copies my cargo produced executable into the .app that Xcode generates (before Xcode signs it). The build script also uses lipo to merge the executables for each architecture I’m targeting (e.g. armv7 and aarch64 for non-simulator devices) into a single, universal binary.

On top of that, there are various iOS-y things that need to happen before my application’s main method is called. SDL2 provides the Objective-C code that does all of that. In a C or C++ game, SDL2 renames main to SDL_main, and then [inserts its own mai

FWIW: I (@rondy) am not the creator of the content shared here, which is an excerpt from Edmond Lau's book. I simply copied and pasted it from another location and saved it as a personal note, before it gained popularity on news.ycombinator.com. Unfortunately, I cannot recall the exact origin of the original source, nor was I able to find the author's name, so I am can't provide the appropriate credits.

Orthodox C++

What is Orthodox C++?

Orthodox C++ (sometimes referred as C+) is minimal subset of C++ that improves C, but avoids all unnecessary things from so called Modern C++. It's exactly opposite of what Modern C++ suppose to be.

Why not Modern C++?

Whiteboard Picture Cleaner - Shell one-liner/script to clean up and beautify photos of whiteboards!

Description

This simple script will take a picture of a whiteboard and use parts of the ImageMagick library with sane defaults to clean it up tremendously.

The script is here:

#!/bin/bash
convert "$1" -morphology Convolve DoG:15,100,0 -negate -normalize -blur 0x1 -channel RBG -level 60%,91%,0.1 "$2"
