I did not intend for my reply to be interpreted as snarky. I'm sorry. I tend to be needlessly pedantic and often do a poor job communicating in writing the non-verbal cues I'd couple with my reply in face-to-face conversation to s

Can you clear a few hours on your agenda for me? I'd like to learn how to use Rust to work around memory corruption resulting from irradiating the hell out of the RAM in my PC at home. I'm talking enough radiation to flip more bit

I can hardly imagine how our technical jargon will change in the next 250 years. If you'll permit me… What it means to execute code on the "bare metal" has changed over time. If you track its usage on HN, it is now common for
