Rust is a lot simpler than C++. Broadly speaking. the only 'complications' it has over C are those that are actually needed to support its patterns of memory-safety-guarantees-through-RAII. The only real alternative is GC langu

Well, I don't know about 'racism' but assuming that the behavior was accurately reported, it is prejudice, and fairly blatant discrimination. I don't think people should get to be immune to criticism simply because of

In order to show the properly random and non-deterministic behavior (e.g. random BSODs) that Windows users have come to expect, MS Windows needs to continuously gather high-quality entropy from its surrounding environment. That's why i

The lack of amenities in most suburbs has nothing to do with "too few people around", it is actively enforced. Residential-only zoning, vs. natural "mixed" development in long-established towns and cities.

The most principled approach there, I think, would be to build a little Expression data-structure, and then feed it to an evaluation routine, trusting the optimizer to compile the whole thing down to something efficient. If Rust didn't

I'll hazard a guess that your Win10 machine on 1GB RAM is swapping plenty. A lightweight Linux distribution can run a reasonable desktop workload (including some web browsing!) on 1GB with zilch swap use, or on as little as 512MB wit

One could definitely use "deepfake" tech to make transparently-untrue and highly fanciful depictions/parodies though. It's not so much about the technology itself as how it gets used.

And we care about these "relatively few cities" because by now these are some of the most productive areas in the nation. Low density and unaffordability in these places makes the problem of income inequality even worse, while not
