Early Access Policy

Content Release Model

When a dual feature is released, there’s:

  • A video on YouTube
  • An article, time-locked for 6 months
  • Optionally, some bonus “companion” code to the article/video

Here are examples of dual features:

The article version is accessible in advance for sponsors/patrons of tiers Silver and above (~10EUR + VAT/month)

The bonus code, (like in the virtue of unsynn) is accessible for sponsors/patrons of tiers Bronze and above (~5EUR + VAT/month).

Six months after the video is released, the article automatically unlocks for everyone.

Generous sponsors are able to buy a time-release for an exclusive article.

This makes the article accessible for everyone immediately, and adds a banner to the article indefinitely to advertise whatever the generous sponsor would like to.

If you’re interested in buying a time-release for an exclusive article, reach out to amos@bearcove.eu directly and we can discuss prices and copy!

Working with strings in Rust

There’s a question that always comes up when people pick up the Rust programming language: why are there two string types? Why is there String, and &str?

My Declarative Memory Management article answers the question partially, but there is a lot more to say about it, so let’s run a few experiments and see if we can conjure up a thorough defense of Rust’s approach over, say, C’s.
