  • That’s not bad at all gonna have to check it out. I host my site on digital ocean it’s on the smallest single core 1gb ram droplet. I run crowdsec and nginx and a couple other little things and it sits around 40% ram usage. Costs 6$ a month and I added 4 weeks worth of automatic weekly backups for $1.50 a month.

    I can deal with $7.50 for a little static web server.

    They do offer a free $200/60 day credit if you get in with one of the free Linux Foundation cloud classes which is plenty to play with.



  • I had no idea it was standard. I had heard they had issues with it not being able to handle certain constructs so they were working on getting it to a place it would perform better. Has this changed? I’m not a rust person, but I intend to be. I’ve barely made it 1/4th way into the book (just started in the past month and I’ve been busy), but I have a good background in programming and so far it’s been super easy. I’m really enjoying how specific the compiler is, and the binary sizes vs Go.







  • Haha I love it. c++ is definitely super useful. I never got that deep with it but I’ve certainly benefited from many things written in c++. Wrote small things and I’ve had to debug it on occasion just to get something working. It usually ended up being a compiler flag I had to set. I ended up going into web and network related stuff after college. Perl was my goto back then but I’m loving these newer languages and the thought put into some of it. For example the struct, interfaces, and type systems in go could probably replicate a lot of what you would use the classes and objects for.


  • I used c++ in college, and I think it’s useful to know c because so much relies on it. That said if I’m going to do something that needs performance I’ll look to go first, then rust if go isn’t a good fit, but that’s mostly because I know go better. Both are excellent languages.

    If I just need something functional quick and easily I’ll turn to Python. If I need a net service quick node.js is great.
