One more day to go and I’m finished for the week. Today was pretty busy but because we’ve been able to keep up with the work over the past few days. Finished tonight at 10pm and I walked down to the service station to pick up a couple of sandwiches for a snack. There is going to be a McDonalds opening within walking distance but to be honest I’d sooner have a decent sandwich because I know after eating it I won’t feel horrible afterwards – I just find that greasy and oily foods don’t sit right with me so I’d sooner have a sandwich instead.
Chrome 151 looks like it’ll be released in the next couple of weeks and it includes quite a few platform improvements (link). There has been much talk about software companies like Google and Microsoft replacing parts of their code base with code written in Rust and with Chrome 151 Google is intrpducing ‘XML parsing in Rust for non XSLT scenarios’ and based on the notes it appears that the long term product is to eventually have parser written in Rust to handle XSLT some time in the future. I’m assuming that what Google is doing is similar to what Microsoft has done which is to analyse their code base and deciding the components that will gain the most from being moved to Rust and in the case of Microsoft they started off by rewriting GDI regions using Rust but I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up seeing further work being done in the future.
That when I get older I wouldn’t become conservative, close minded and only focused on things that that directly impact me. All too often I see people that as they get older they’re either concerned only with what impacts them or become bitter and twisted because they’re unable to accept the fact that the world is changing and that maybe they should try to understand the world rather than getting angry about it.
