The reason it works with `String` is because trait methods get priority over applying autoderef (which is needed to go from `&String` to `&str` and select `str::strip_suffix`). If you however already have a `&str` then autoderef

`strip_suffix` will indeed break with new compiler versions because inherent methods always have priority over trait methods.

Why would yet another C++ browser be better than one written in a different language (this time Rust, but Zig would be cool too)?

I have to make the mandatory mention of Typst, I found it to cover almost all the markup capabilities that Latex has, while being much more approachable, especially to programmers used to other scripting languages (e.g. Javascript).

Yes, naming does play a role here, but the biggest hint is `as_vec_mut` returning a reference. For that to work a `Vec<u8>` needs to exist somewhere, and continue to exist after this function returns. For comparison, `to_` conversions

by SkiFire13 6mo ago
> String, which is literally (under the hood, you can't poke this legitimately) Vec<u8> `String::as_vec_mut` kinda implies that, since it gives you access to that underlying `Vec` which must then exist somewhere.

You can definitely have a race condition in JS. Being single-threaded means you don't have parallelism, but you still have concurrency, and that's enough to have race conditions. For example you might have some code that behaves d

I'm not sure about this. In general I see more criticism of GNOME than praise, so if anything the perception would be that GNOME is not a good DE.

I'm not sure if they all charge a percentage of your money transfers for that. At work we decided to migrate that part to an internal system anyway.

Stripe's fees are well above interchange fees (especially in Europe). On top of that Stripe's pricing for other features (e.g. invoicing and subscriptions) is also a percentage, so you end up paying a ton for those features.

If you use them for subscriptions you are effectively locked with them. The cost of migrating to a different provider (including existing subscriptions AND payment methods) plus the risk of something breaking the renewals is too high for mo

Expanding the logic to union of intervals looks cool, but what is the complexity of that? Since you introduce the the possibility of an operation on an interval producing two intervals I suspect executing N operations might have an exponent
