Right, it's nothing to do with it being "newly added". That issue had been filed by its OP as a feature request. It then got repurposed into a tracking issue for the feature, but it's not following the standard tracking

"Beg", and "passive aggressive" from TFA, is an unnecessarily emotional interpretation of that sentence. It's perfectly neutral. When they imported `cargo-vendor` into cargo they removed a feature that was not trivi

So two PSUs / power bricks? I'll just stick with non-12VO PSUs and boards as long as I can, and if enough people think like me then mobo manufacturers will continue stalling on 12VO.

I'm not too worried about the complexity. What I *am* worried about is that your number of SATA power ports on your motherboard will become the limiting factor for how many SATA drives you can connect. The number of SATA *data* ports o

Minor point: `let padding = &mut bytes[..index]; padding[index]` is an out-of-bounds index and will panic even if the borrow checker accepted it. You probably wanted `let padding = &mut bytes[..=index];`

Yes. Say the HttpService trait comes from some third-party library. I implement that trait on my server, and then I run my server on a single-threaded executor. (This is analogous to how Iterator is in libstd but I can implement it on my ow

In your interpretation the number 8 has no significance in that sentence, since "In the last 1000 years" would have the same meaning.
