  • Ask HN: Does someone have pyvm-3.0.tar.bz2
    5 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 1 Mar 2022
    I'm trying to have buildable versions of several compilers for learning and historical preservation and recently discovered "lwc" https://directory.fsf.org/wiki/Lightweight_C++ and apparently the latest version of it come with this pyvm version http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~sxanth/pyvm-3.0/ -> http://students.ceid.upatras.gr/~sxanth/pyvm-3.0/pyvm-3.0.tar.bz2 but is not accessible anymore.

    Does anyone have it and could share it ?

    I already have a version 2.1 here https://github.com/mingodad/lwc and here https://github.com/mingodad/pyvm and here is some discussion with links https://github.com/mingodad/cfront-3/issues/6 .

    I also have:

    - Cfront3 https://github.com/mingodad/cfront-3

    - Cyclone https://github.com/mingodad/cyclone

    - Tinycc reeentrant https://github.com/mingodad/tinycc

    Thank you in advance for any help !

  • Create a Custom GitHub Action in Rust
    3 projects | dev.to | 28 Apr 2024
    If you haven't dipped your touch-typing fingers into Rust yet, you really owe it to yourself. Rust is a modern programming language with features that make it suitable not only for systems programming -- its original purpose, but just about any other environment, too; there are frameworks that let your build web services, web applications including user interfaces, software for embedded devices, machine learning solutions, and of course, command-line tools. Since a custom GitHub Action is essentially a command-line tool that interacts with the system through files and environment variables, Rust is perfectly suited for that as well.

    Here's an example of someone citing a disagreement between CRT and shell32:

    This in addition to the Rust CVE mentioned elsewhere in the thread which was rooted in this issue:

    https://blog.rust-lang.org/2024/04/09/cve-2024-24576.html

    Here are some quick programs to test contrasting approaches. I don't have examples of inputs where they parse differently on hand right now, but I know they exist. This was also a problem that was frequently discussed internally when I worked at MSFT.

  • I hate Rust (programming language)

    > instead of choosing a certain numbered version of the random library (if I remember correctly) I let cargo download the latest version which had a completely different API.

    Yeah, they didn't follow the instructions and got burned. I still think that multiple things went wrong simultaneously for that experience. I wonder if more prevalent uses of `#[doc(alias = "name")]` being leveraged by https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/120730 (which now that I check only accounts for methods and not functions, I should get on that!) so that when changing APIs around people at least get a slightly better experience.

    Recently did something similar in Rust but for generating SVGs. We've adopted it for snapshot testing of cargo and rustc's output. Don't have a good PR handy for showing Github's rendering of changes in the SVG (text, side-by-side, swiping) but https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121877/files has newly added SVGs.

    To see what is supported, see the screenshot in the docs: https://docs.rs/anstyle-svg/latest/anstyle_svg/
