Sometimes it makes sense to reduce to Unicode confusables. For example the Greek letter Big Alpha looks like uppercase A. Or some characters look very similar like the slash and the fraction slash. Yes, Unicode has separate scalar values fo

When I was younger I had some episodes where I started to perceive distortions in distance and size. I perceived big things like houses suddenly as very little, like toys, and I felt I could grab then in my hand. Or I perceived little thing

Many years ago I met someone who only eats egg whites. I watched him pouring yolks into the drain. I asked, why do you do that? He answered, because yolks contain unhealthy fats. Years later I realized that we all who eat eggs and poultry a

I tend to ignore comments in example programs because they look like this: // Set x to 42 x += 42 It's a form of banner blindness. By the way, first I felt a strong Pythonic vibe but then I realized that the colo

I completed the step. One request was: "Click on all objects faster than a human." I misunderstood it that as a human I should click slowly because robots can click faster. Then I finally, after that false start I got the message.

Would you say library undefined behavior is just a violation of a library invariant? Like `&str` and `String` containing valid UTF-8? I admit that a library invariant is allowed to be violated temporarily under some strict preconditions
223.
by _nalply 3y ago
You shouldn't misuse unsafe Rust to create `&str` or `String` with invalid UTF-8. Doing that violates assumptions some optimizations rely on. I even would contend it's undefined behavior. At least I am convinced that you shoul

Don't. Paracelsus said (paraphrased): All is poison. It's the amount that makes something a poison. So listen to your body and stop before you damage yourself.

Be careful with oils of any kind. If you are generous with oil, you will gain weight. Some oils are very healthy, for example true virgin olive oil (if you reliably get hold on it), so don't omit. Just use very little. Literally only d

I am not sure whether I understood it at all but it seems that zsh has a quirk. Interactive shells become the process group leader because they need to manage signals. If you hit Ctrl-C then as a process group leader the signal is forwarded

You should take an infrared thermometer and point it to the clear sky. If the sky is very clear, you will get temperatures much lower than ambient. You just let heat radiate away, and this is enough to cool.

Yeah, Rust is very complex. But I am lucky that I had several years time to learn Rust, and let me tell you: as long you don't use async, nightly nor unsafe, Rust becomes manageable, at least for me. This said, I see another big proble
