# [Indexing PDF For Searching Using Tika, Nokogiri, and Algolia](https://omar.engineer/indexing-pdf-for-searching-using-tika-nokogiri-and-algolia/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Although I don't use Ruby -- and hence Nokogiri and Algolia would be useless
|
||
|
|
-- the fact that it lists how Tika extracts the PDF information into a (good)
|
||
|
|
HTML format it interesting.

# [Debugging Bash scripts](https://advancedweb.hu/debugging-bash-scripts/)
|

|
|
|
||
|
|
Couple of notes and modules you can use in Bash scripts to debug your...
|
||
|
|
scripts.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On a side note: Am I the only one that think it is stupid to have a docker
|
||
|
|
image to run a _linter_?

# [Programming language Rust's adoption problem: Developers reveal why more aren't using it](https://www.zdnet.com/google-amp/article/programming-language-rusts-adoption-problem-developers-reveal-why-more-arent-using-it/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Summary: the drop in adoption happens 'cause even if developers are using
|
||
|
|
Rust, their companies are not.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sadly, I once read something that's true: "The adoption of any language is not
|
||
|
|
technical, it is cultural". While developers may enjoy taking some punches
|
||
|
|
from compilers, in the hopes that they won't get calls in the middle of
|
||
|
|
the night about the service going down, most companies see delays in delivery
|
||
|
|
as problem. And if some other language have some (apparent) huge support, they
|
||
|
|
will pick that language any day, no matter how problematic it is.

# [Even Apple Is Interested In Migrating Their C Code To Rust](https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=Apple-From-C-To-Rust)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A lot of assumptions going on here, but it seems that even when Rust adoption
|
||
|
|
is not that great, big companies are actually moving towards it. Apple is one
|
||
|
|
of them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The fact that the creator of Rust is part of Apple and works of Swift may be
|
||
|
|
pure coincidence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
On the other hand... Why not replace that C code with Swift? Surely there is a
|
||
|
|
runtime problem here if the applications require performance, but with the
|
||
|
|
Swift compiler being built by Apple and Clang/LLVM also being built by Apple,
|
||
|
|
something could be worked out, wouldn't it?

# [Rust Search Extension](https://rust-search-extension.now.sh/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A browser extension that helps searching Rust Docs and Crates.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Honestly, I prefer [DuckDuckGo](https://duckduckgo.com/)
|
||
|
|
[!bangs](https://duckduckgo.com/bang?q=), so I can use `!rust Iter` or `!crate
|
||
|
|
elefren` and it would translate the search for me, but if you don't use DDG
|
||
|
|
but code in Rust, it may be interesting.

# [Rust Survey 2019 Results](https://blog.rust-lang.org/2020/04/17/Rust-survey-2019.html)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
In the end of last year, the Rust Core Team launched a survey asking how the
|
||
|
|
Rust developers feel about the language. The result is up.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It seems the general consensus for the language is "Some improvement" in most
|
||
|
|
of the areas.

# [Wiremock: async HTTP mocking to test Rust applications](https://www.lpalmieri.com/posts/2020-04-13-wiremock-async-http-mocking-for-rust-applications/)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
A library for creating async web servers, to be used as mocks in tests. Looks
|
||
|
|
pretty cute.

# [clikan](https://github.com/kitplummer/clikan)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
By the repo description: "clikan is a super simple personal kanban board that
|
||
|
|
runs in a CLI".
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm a sucker for CLI tools, specially when they have a nice presentation
|
||
|
|
interface.

A good analysis of what's going on with the COVID lockdown, it's reflexes and
|
||
|
|
what is going on from here on.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Sure there is some speculation in the article, but even those are good food
|
||
|
|
for thought.
