> with AI it can be done cheaper and faster And they are probably right. But they are probably also missing that this will translate to worse quality. You know, the classic "you can only pick two among good, cheap and fast"

Not only that, if you have `trait Foo: Iterator<Item = u8>` and `trait Bar: Iterator<Item = i32>` how could `!` implement both of them? It would simply make the language incoherent.

Both are for for different niches, but their intersection is relatively big.

That page doesn't mention how joins between tables using different split keys work, or how indexes work.

Remember that correlation != causation. They might also have unionized due to the bad conditions while developing GTA 6, which could also lead to it being a bad game. Who knows though.

I reached the midpoint of the podcast without seeing a proper argument against this then I gave up. It tries to argue that higher reward rates are necessary to attrach customers that pay a lot (for credit card companies) and that lower inco

The vtable contains at least the following informations: - the size of the pointed type - the alignment of the pointed type - a function pointer for its drop glue That's already quite big to inline to save on indirection, and this is b

> for some reason Just to expand on this: which vtables will be needed is not known before running codegen. At that point however multiple codegen units might generate the same vtable, and that might not get deduplicated by a later pass.

The 26% slower appears to be for their whole application, not just the allocator. For some parts of the application to make the whole this much slower it must mean that those parts are quite a lot slower, likely much more than 2x. Moreover

The costs of credit cards are higher in part because of the reward programs for using such cards. That's where the wealth transfer happens, and there's nothing like this for cash.

It's not a good enough proxy for more people. If you compare the least and most costly items on a menu, even adjusting for size, you'll find that there's often a 2x to 4x difference between them. If I pick one over the other

The thing that bugs me about tips is the fact they are a percentage. Why am I supposed to tip more if I ordered something more expensive but the service is equally good?

I agree with the premises, but the result proposed here doesn't look like anything I would like to use unfortunately. Even just looking at a glance you cannot see what it's doing and what each part means.

Even that way will be very difficult to make it work. The Fil-C side could change the data behind the pointer, which will not reflect on the Rust side due to the copy. Even if you manage to copy back the changes, Fil-C could also persist th

The word kernel always meant "the most important part of something". Likewise "harness" can be used to mean "to collect and control something so that it can be used effectively".
