Just: How I Organize Large Rust Programs

If you do just foo, the following justfile will write a single byte 0x0A to a file named bar: x := "\n" foo: printf '{{x}}' > bar Let's find out where that 0x0A byte comes from. just is written in Rust, and the just parser has a function called cook_string, which transforms a just string token containing escape sequences into a UTF-8 string....

Assets on other chains are commonly traded using automatic market makers, or AMMs. AMMs pool assets and use simple formulae to dynamically price swaps between...

I loathe the state, have no particular respect for authority, and believe that Bitcoin is the path away from the debauched debasement of our lives and civilization that fiat currency has wrought. However, I do...

Developers serve users, not the other way around. For this and other reasons, the ord developers recommit to the stability and...
