   I would say Rust's type system has a lot more in common with Haskell/Ocaml than with C++, at least, although it's not quite as flexible as what Haskell offers (a lack of HKT is painful sometimes).

   I think the argument is more that devices shouldn't have a standby state in the first place.

   I imagine depending on the assumptions, the same could happen in Rust, given Rust allows overriding equality too.

   I imagine one could have something like a pez dispenser, but that dispenses tiles instead. Randomisation would still be an issue though.

   Or they turn out not to even be a thief. A lot of the time, vigilante justice ends up not being true justice at all.

   Before you arm the thing you also have to make sure it's tilted just right, because of the tilt switch, which I imagine is rather tricky.

   I have a feeling that USB's complexity is there for good reasons. As far as xmpp and css/js go, there definitely is a lot of complexity that could have been avoided with a different initial design, although hindsight is 20/20

    Yes, I do use it as my main editor (I have "vim" aliased to start kakoune instead). Knowledge on how to use kakoune doesn't seem to interfere when I need to use vim for some reason (such as ssh-ing into some machine that does

    The author of kakoune initially intended to rewrite vim from scratch, so there is definitely a similarity. A big difference is that kakoune operates in terms of selections rather than motions, with built-in support for things like multiple

    An another alternative to the vim plugins, here's a vim-like text editor that concentrates on selections and multiple cursors: https://github.com/mawww/kakoune

    I've switched from vim to kakoune some time ago. vim does have the advantage of a bigger ecosystem, but I do believe it is possible to have an editor better than it.

    And then we have found the acceleration of the universe is accelerating, and the cosmological constant starts looking relevant again. What Einstein called his biggest blunder might not be a blunder at all.

    Yes, that exact code would work, except with some extra semicolons.

    We haven't put GPS satellites around Mars quite yet. I'm guessing that won't happen until it gets terraformed.

    It is possible to write a Linux device driver in C++, although most will be written in C (and I think all the ones that actually come with the kernel are in C).

    In Rust, move semantics are assumed by default, and it's up to the caller to make a copy using .clone() if they want to keep ownership of the value (unless they know Copy is implemented and it's unnecessary, for example for intege

    Well, if you have let u = v.clone(); then you are absolutely certain that u is a copy of v too (And it works on more types than just simple copying would).

    by FreeFull 11y ago

    Note that while C++ zeroes on move, in Rust the compiler statically prevents you from using v after the move. The only way to use v afterwards is to move something new into it (which can only be done if v is mutable). Semantically, a move i

    I have experimented with printf("%d\n", a); using gcc. When compiled for 32-bit x86, it displays the lower 32 bits of the double (which for 12.5 happen to be all 0). On x86-64, it displays a random value each time, which actually

    Wouldn't focusing on infinity be a problem for people who are myopic? I imagine everything would be blurred, and I don't think glasses would be wearable together with the VR gear.
