  • FunFact™: world is derived from "wer" meaning man (like the "were" in werewolf) and "old" in the same sense as "age".

    Therefor it means "Age of Man", which means that there weren't ever any dinosaurs in the world.

    In the "Pompeiian Pizza Fresco" ®, how do we know that it's "sacrificial" and what does that mean?

    Archaeologists recently discovered the Pizza Fresco in Pompeii. In an article, they wrote "From a passage of Virgil’s Aeneid, [...] it is possible to understand the position of fruits and other products of the fields, on sacrificial breads that function as 'tables'."

    What does it mean that the breads are "sacrificial"? How does the position of the fruits indicate that, and what does even "table" mean in this context?

    Why I import crates with version=*

    In my very large Rust-based project of about 100k lines of code, 100 direct dependencies, and 800 total dependencies, I always require version="*" for each dependency, except for specific ones that either I cannot or don't want to upgrade.

    Crucially, I also commit my Cargo.lock, as the Cargo manual recommends.

    I normally build with cargo --locked. Periodically, I will do a cargo update and run cargo outdated so that I'm able to see if there are specific packages keeping me at older versions.

    To upgrade a specific package, I can just remove it's record directly from Cargo.lock and then do a regular cargo build.

    This works very well!

    Advantages

    • I minimize my number of dependencies, and therefor build times
    • I keep my personal ecosystem from falling too far behind that of crates.io
    • I rarely wind up with a situation where I have two dependencies that depend on a different symbol version
    • I don't have to change a version in all of my many Cargo.tomls

    Disadvantages

    • I cannot publish my large repository to a wider audience (but that will never happen for this repository)
    • People who see my code start feeling ill and start shifting their eyes nervously.
