I've worked on Lisp compilers at IS Robotics and MIT's AI Lab, and built 3D training software at Dartmouth. At Faraday, I build tools to keep our development team operating at full productivity.
Yesterday morning, I was confronted with a truly terrible error message from a Rust program I was developing: $ cage up --init ... Error: error getting the project's state from Docker ExpectedError("Object", "null") The first part of that error message comes from cage (our open source tool

I was working on cage (our open source development tool for Docker apps with lots of microservices), and I decided to parallelize the routine that transformed docker-compose.yml files. This was

This post is part of our devops series. At Faraday, we rely heavily on microservices to analyze data, generate maps and make predictions. All our microservices run inside Docker containers, which makes it easy to run our code either locally or in the cloud. But if you've ever worked on

Here's what it looks like: We can set this up using a combination of Rust's built-in warnings and the excellent Clippy package. For best results with Clippy, it's easiest
