typometer VS crates.io

You can download the tool here: https://github.com/pavelfatin/typometer

Thanks, that's a really nice offer. Well, if your pi can run typometer that would be an ideal thing to test. Use an editor that has good typing latency. That is nothing based on electron or java. Geany or Kate should work. Don't use vim or emans on a terminal as most terminals have terrible typing latency (except xterm and mlterm)

There is a great comparison between various terminals' latency https://danluu.com/term-latency/ (it comes up periodically on HN too - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19443076), so once when I was curious if it was just me or if RDP was indeed slower, I did a quick test using the same toolset - https://github.com/pavelfatin/typometer

It is not a super-scientific test since:

0) I didn't spend too much time on this

open -a Spotify --args --disable-smooth-scrolling

You used to be able to disable Chrome's smooth scrolling with chrome://flags/#disable-smooth-scrolling, but that flag was removed for whatever reason.

I'm also surprised by how much faster Firefox's builtin middle mouse click autoscroll is compared to Chrome's ersatz AutoScroll[2] extension.

First, about the methodology: I took all my measurements with typometer on an Ubuntu 18.04 computer running X11. I tried Firenvim (both in Firefox and Chrome), Fvim, Gnvim, Goneovim, Neovim-Gtk, Nvim-Qt, Nwin and Uivonim. I couldn't try Neovide because it didn't run on my computer. The terminal I tried was Kitty, which has better latency than Alacritty.

The first thing to do is to try and measure latency to confirm your feeling. You can use something like typometer ( https://github.com/pavelfatin/typometer ) to do that.

Rust has a rich ecosystem of frameworks and libraries that let you read, parse, and manipulate text files, interact with cloud services and databases, and perform any other job that your project's development workflow may require. And because of its strong typing and tight memory management, you are much less likely to write programs that behave unexpectedly in production.

All the code discussed in this article can be accessed through this repository. For integration with existing projects consider using keyword_extraction crate available on crates.io.

So, be sure to double-check your critical libraries and be sure their alternatives exist in the Rust ecosystem. There’s a good chance the crates you need are available in Rust's crates.io repository.

The previous section was very simple, this section is also very simple but introduces us to cargo which is Rust's package manager, as a JS dev my mind goes straight to NPM.

Now, there has to be a place where all these packages come from. Similar to npmjs registry, where all node packages are registered, stored and retrieved, Rust also has something called crates.io where many helpful packages and dependencies are registered.

Before proceeding, let's check https://crates.io/, the official Rust package registry.

The most thrilling aspect has been the joy of writing the backend. It's like every struct, enum, and method in Rust forms this interconnected Multiverse of code , which you can see in crates.io which is best Documentation experience I Ever Had.

5. Crates.io

When using crates from eg. crates.io, and also things like std and core

Vendoring your packages was very tedious to even remotely get to work with Cargo. I spent a very long time getting Cargo to work together with cargo-local-registry. We vendor crates from crates.io and a custom internal registry.
