I started using Rust a while ago and have enjoyed learning more about it. This is a crate I made that allows users to spice up their logs with a variety of formats and colors/themes. I like purely functional logs as much as the next guy, but making the birds jealous with fancy colors has really started to grow on me. If that's not your jam, you can also turn off color and just use the formatting features. I'd love to get some feedback on this project, and I hope that some of you enjoy this!


Grokking Algorithms: An Illustrated Guide for Programmers and Other Curious People by Aditya Bhargava is a fun and very approachable walkthrough of some common algorithms. With the illustrations it reads smoothly and isn't dry like a normal algorithm book.


After reading this review [1] I'm not sure about this book. I see this book gets so many positive ratings, in the same time this single review stands out and brings many worrying points... Is this reader just frustrated person expecting too much? Or are the points raised valid?

Some of their points are valid. I wouldn't recommend this book to someone who's already deep into the world of algorithms, but it gave me an enjoyable way to dip my toes in when I first started learning about the topics it covers. I'm not sure what the page number issue on Amazon was about, my copy is 238 pages.


A Vultr instance running a PostgreSQL container linked with block storage is pretty cheap and easy to set up.
