Sounds complicated, but the goal of a fuzzable/sanitizable/etc libc sounds nice. Lack of ABI stability sounds terrifying as an application developer. My other immediate thought was "how will this interact with systems where t

It's correct in my experience. My mac refuses to recognize 2 independent monitors in the following setup: laptop -> USB-C -> dock -> 2x 1440p@144hz Displayport monitors. Supposedly this is because Apple doesn't implement

I've used it to edit a binary's rpath as part of relocating binaries that really want to be installed at a certain path. You can do this yourself with e.g. hexedit if your new path is shorter but if it's longer you need somet

I'm also not a fan of lichess's puzzles, especially on mobile. Over the years I've been bitten for weeks at a time by a bug that fetches a batch of puzzles at a time on mobile, and then loops through those 50 puzzles repeated

This is the core of "enterprise" things. Many times clients, (especially paying business clients) care more that "things that worked yesterday should continue to work today" than about the enhancements, or even "bre

What's the expected delay between reference card release and OEM card release?

Justify "largely", please. I don't think Apple has demonstrated more commitment to "building secure devices" than to "building a tightly walled garden to maximize leverage over developers and users". Edit:

I feel like you're being intentionally obtuse. Civil disobedience is protest against a government , and is usually assumed to be non -violent. Look at Wikipedia, pick any result out of Google. Blocking a highway is classic civil diso

This definition of is ridiculous to me, implying that only the privileged few (policemen, those with specific knowledge) may be civilly disobedient. The entire intent is for the masses, with no qualifications whatsoever, to make themselves

This isn't really directly related to your question, but I recall hearing that in Servo and Firefox, the usage of Rust is limited as it gets close to the DOM specifically because of interactions with the JS engine and its separate garb

There are idioms that you can use to help. Bounds checking solves the classic indexing past arrays problem and you can use tools to prove that you never use e.g. the basic operator[]s on types for which it is not safe. Some of these idioms

I use uwsgi at work, we've found a lot of bugs in the more interesting features of the uwsgi module, and had to fix some signal and memory leak issues (I think we're still trying to get them upstreamed). That said, it's reaso

Yes. The common blurb is: In safe rust the borrow checker encourages 'fearless concurrency' by statically preventing all data races.

It works well over remote desktop... unless you have a screen tinter like f.lux. I didn't expect changing the light color to break the flash detection, but it does.

The ? operator is tied to std::ops::Try, and std::convert::From. https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/ops/trait.Try.html https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/convert/trait.From.html

More than that, as part of LINQ they built a whole "expression" engine into the language to make LINQ to SQL more powerful than simple method chains could be. What looks like function calls is actually converted into expression tr

The ParsedJson type is immutable and accessed mutating iterators (up and down the tree, forward and backward through members and indices). My immediate thought is to compare it to rapidjson, which I've used before. The paradigm of muta

It's not next, it's already being targeted. The recent Right To Be Forgotten case touches on a theme I think we'll see again - "we don't like what society does with easy access to certain information, and companies

100 lines of code is not a meaningful amount of experience with anything, and surely cannot provide any meaningful advantage over the lifetime of a serious project compared to another developer who starts fresh. Having "dozens of techn

How would this work? As I understand it pensions are almost never fully funded when they begin because the costs would be prohibitive. Can a smart contract guarantee that funds that are not available now will be made available at a later da

Note: I like to read about Rust but don't work with it seriously, and don't follow Swift at all. Corrections welcome. That said, these seemed like the key passages: "Swift has always considered read/write and write/

If you want to migrate from system A to system B you don't start writing all data to B immediately. You don't know if B can handle the load, if your code is right, if double writing will cause an unacceptable slowdown etc. Instead

I think these statistics are claiming '50-90% of observed positives are false', not '50-90% of all tests return false positives'. Suppose 0.1% of the population has a condition and the test for the condition has a 0.5% f
