And slashes as well, which is a magic character in both urls and file systems. Means you can't reliably use normal base64 for filenames, for instance. That might seem like a niche use-case, but it's really not, because you can use

That doesn't fix the problem: these languages has to be able to coexist peacefully with C in the same address space. You can have a dynamically linked library written in Rust in a host program written in C, you can use C libraries in G

I'm guessing interleaving is probably not possible because the `extend` call is passed the full list, and it holds the GIL until it's finished. But you'd have to look at the bytecode to be sure, I suppose. If there were three

According to the article, they have half a billion dollars in revenue (with currently $154 millon in losses), and that seems plenty to run a company like Unity. Lay-offs are rough, but looking at the numbers, they make sense in a cold-heart

"pretty clear" is an overstatement, I read it and I didn't understand it. I'm not a lawyer, but the article could have included... you know... your exact comment somewhere.

Is there no capability in SQLite to dump these things as well? Seems like a pretty big thing missing if that's the case, a thing I would expect SQLite to support pretty well.

What? In my experience, RAR is extremely un-Linux. It's not free software and not command-line friendly, and it seems mostly to be used by piracy weirdoes who need to split up files for uploading to newsgroups. If you're on Linux,

Indeed: the convex hull is the outer boundary of the Delaunay triangulation. In addition: if you "bow out" the points into 3D, the 3D convex hull is exactly the Delaunay triangulation. These two concepts are very closely related.

I wrote a moderately popular Delaunay/Voronoi library for Unity a few years back [1] with a neat little demo video [2]. I implemented the incremental Bowyer-Watson algorithm for generating the triangulations, and then took the dual to

Well, it doesn't error out! In this example, it seems like it picks the result from whatever matches the last column, but not sure if this is determinstic: sqlite> create table x(c1, c2); sqlite> insert into x values (&

Conceptually, though, that's the wrong model. Pijul works like that, but git does not: commits are not diffs, they are full snapshots of the repository, including history. If you cherry-pick a commit from one branch to another, that&#x

I much prefer the fact that curl doesn't do this by default (but has the option), it much closer matches the behavior of most unix-y tools. Makes it so much easier to put it into pipelines.

Stackless coroutines are arguably pretty serializable, since they are (usually) implemented by bundling all the relevant data into a struct. There’s no a priori reason that couldn’t be serialized, thiugh I admit I cannot think of an example

My impression was that that was exactly what they were going to do: replace the GIL with fine-grained locking on the objects themselves. I can't imagine they'd let multiple python threads manipulate python data-structures concurre

Why would you do this instead of just converting the digits to a fraction over a power of 10 and then reducing the fraction (or power of 2, if it's a floating point datatype)? I was thinking it was faster, but the recursive procedure i

Does this work with the bag/multiset distinction that the author uses? Like, if table1 has two copies of some row and table2 has a single copy of that row, wont this query return that they're the same? But they're not: table1

I've always liked that feature of C and C++. There's a lot of people that really hate it and in new languages they unify it to be just a dot. Zig does this as well, for instance. I always liked that the distinction was very explic

I want to be clear: I think Rust offers ENORMOUS security benefits over C. No one is disputing that. I personally love Rust, I think it's a great language. This is not an attack on the language, this is an observation that if you use t
