For the past 15 years I have been telling anyone i meet, who's thinking of doing an MBA, not to do it. . This is the most shallow degree in the world of higher education. You don't just waste 2 years of your life, you lose many more because of sunk cost fallacy.

P. S. - I have an MBA degree

Wrote my thoughts on the difference between Rc (or Arc) and shared reference in rust.

If lifetimes are kicking your butt, you can use an Rc (or Arc) instead of a shared reference for now. There a slight cost, but it’s still cheaper than a clone.

For a long time i was confused about the difference between &String and &str

&String is a pointer to a String, which itself points a to heap buffer.

&str is a fat pointer which "directly" points to the heap buffer and not to the String. It also stores size.

If you are trying to render camera raw image using rust and are finding it difficult to authentically convert raw images to jpegs, use rawler and then use decoder.full_image to get the embedded jpeg image. Good enough for even large screens.

Raw image processing is hard.

#rustlang #imageprocessing

I was very confused with how some libraries were processing raw camera images and so started looking at how the camera stores info about an image in the raw format.

I have been photographing for a long time but had no idea that that's how the sensor captured color information.

Picked this book from a bookstore a year back. Had no idea what it was about. I think I wouldn’t have bought it if I knew it was fiction about artificial intelligence. Glad I didn’t look into it when I got it.

Equivalent css solution would look something like this. Which is good but doesn't go well with css-in-js solutions.

I wanted to show an child element when the parent element was hovered over with mouse. In mantine ui. I could have used classes on parent and child elements and used css to do it.

mantine solved it with useHover hook - mantine.dev/hooks/use-ho...
I wonder if there's a perf penalty.
