Rust also supports it, and it's actually very commonly used. For example, the function `Default::default()`, where Default is a trait that you can easily implement for your own types, too.

Photons have zero rest mass, but energy itself has a gravitational effect too. It's even theoretically possible to create a black hole entirely out of light https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kugelblitz_(astrophysics)

With regards to b., I think the article is saying that one comet plane is in alignment with the planetary plane, but the planetary plane itself is off by 60° from the galactic plane.

Glass is made out of the same stuff that's already in some very common minerals. The two main risks are sharp pieces, and the potential to focus sunlight and start a fire. Otherwise, it's about as dangerous as sand.

From what I've seen, the majority of Android malware either comes from Google's Play Store, or gets included on the phones by certain OEMs. F-droid in particular, due to its open source requirement, hasn't ended up hosting an

F-Droid does not offer any form of payment, anyway. All the apps offered by F-Droid are open source and the majority of them ad-free, and it's honestly a fantastic resource for me. It actually has quite a lot of apps, including games,

On Android there is the F-Droid software repository, and there is no issue of competition with the Play Store. Would things be different on Apple phones?

I know that at least Linux does support additional F keys beyond F12, since there used to be computers/keyboards that had them. I'm not sure how having more than 255 keys works out, though, I haven't looked into how USB HID h

It's not like putting the version into the namespace is necessary for this, though. Rust's Cargo will let you use multiple versions of a library too, without extra namespacing.

A constant pressure isn't enough to produce power. You'd need a changing pressure.

Epic did intentionally break the rules here, but I definitely have seen stories on HN before where Apple would refuse to let an app pass review without providing a proper reason why, and some more shadier things. If they do decide they don&

The difference is, now, thanks to humans, there are 1.4 billion cows. And a lot of the cows are fed things like corn, which makes them produce a lot more methane than a more natural diet would. A million years ago, you wouldn't have an

What kind of flour has sugar in it? Most flours are a mixture of starches and protein from grinding up a grain. Starches take more work to digest than sugars, so they don't spike blood sugar levels as quickly.

I'm not sure there is any guarantee that a function that completes successfully hasn't changed the value of errno anyway.

It's a carryover from the MS-DOS days. One unfortunate part is that each program has to implement globs and any similar feature itself.

Rust's .len() on string does not give you the length in characters, it gives you the length in bytes. If you want the length in unicode codepoints, you need to do .chars().count(), but given things like combining characters, that might

That seems unlikely. Parasites are pretty good at infecting their hosts, and for a long time, there wasn't really a good way of getting rid of them once they were inside you.

Fun fact: The latest Linux kernel will still run fine on a 486, and give you a somewhat useable experience. You just need to make sure to pick a distro that hasn't built its packages targetting newer instructions than what a 486 offers

Except that with a black hole this small, you'll be pulled apart by the tidal forces long before you even reach the event horizon. If you want to make it across the event horizon intact, you need a much larger black hole, like the one

My guess is that the hacksaw wouldn't work particularly well, but the bolt cutters or anything else that just exerts a strong, steady force without much motion should work. At that point, it shouldn't be any stronger than just reg

Even if we completely stop all manmade CO2 emissions right now, there still is too much CO2 in the atmosphere already. Actually removing the CO2 from the air in some way will be necessary if we want to stop global warming from getting even

Thank you for writing this book! I'm currently working on a music creation program based on modular synthesis, and I expect the filters chapter of your book will really come in handy.

The second email address uses the Cyrillic small letter O, which renders the same as the Latin small O in almost all fonts. You can see this in your hex dump, too: Instead of a single o, your hex dump shows two bytes for the second characte

I used the subscript 2 unicode character (U+2082). As far as I know, HN's formatting doesn't include anything to do subscripts. (At least, https://news.ycombinator.com/formatdoc does not mention it.)

The thing is, without some sort of barrier, they would be completely swamped by the public trying to get them to record these, and then would be practically forced to stop doing it.
