They’re suggesting a web technology which would allow any website to host content for any other website, under the original site’s URL, as long as the bundle is signed by the original site. That could be quite interesting of a site like arc

You could use Elo rating[0] range to rank them. Basic idea is that if player A has 100 points more than player B, then you could expect player A to win 64% of the time. In rock-paper-scissors, everyone wins 50% of the time, so everyone has

C# is `foo.bar<T>()`, I’m not sure what compromises that had to make for that to work but from an end-user perspective it works well.

Coming back to C after several years, I now think one of the hard things about pointers in C is the C syntax for pointers, not just the idea of pointers in general. Eg, sometimes the type declaration wraps around both sides of the variable

Yes, it probably is impossible. On the other hand, C programmers are asked to write code which doesn't invoke undefined behaviour otherwise their code can break in unpredictable ways, so either we just don't have sufficiently good

The first half of the paper is spent building up to the name-calling, it starts with "little squares", reaching a crescendo with the revelation that it is not the squares that are little, but the people! The closest it gets to a c

As far as I can tell, the main cost of threads is 2-4MB of memory usage for stack space, so async allows saving memory by allowing one thread to process more than one task. A big deal if you have a server with 1GB of memory and want to hand

I think the most fun I had parsing a CSV file was when I found out it switched from UTF8 to UTF16 after several thousand lines, as differently encoded CSV files had been concatenated together directly into a single file...

It feels increasingly odd to work in exclusively male teams when there is no obvious biological reason why that would be. Possibly the casual “kill the ex-girlfriend” jokes contribute to that. I mean, some people really think like that, so

To get that degree of flexibility in Rust you’d have to turn to macros, then the return type will depend on the generated code. That could be pretty much anything, so you’d need to read the docs anyway. Perhaps the languages are not that di

I’ve not looked much into D, but I’ve really been enjoying Rust. I think the main takeaway is that there are very different ways of approaching language design. In Rust there was a decision to make the function signature the single place wh

I missed this the first time, but there are two sets of parentheses in the example. Apparently the first set are like template parameters, and the second are the actual arguments to the function.

At least in the web version is uses the web browser's own element types (text boxes, radio buttons etc) so it could be as accessible as as anything else. I'd expect that to be an option for bindings to OS-native UI kits too.

Hm, the RFC says the braces are needed if it is not an "identity expression" with the examples: const X: usize = 7; let x: RectangularArray<i32, 2, 4>; let y: RectangularArray<i32, X, {2 * 2}>; So

Are the braces around the const expressions planned to be optional in future? I'm wondering if this will work: impl State<Color::Green> { fn next(self) -> State<Color::Yellow> { ... } }
