I like all these ideas. > Long-term, maybe some kind of sandbox for dependencies could make sense. Lots of dependencies don't need disk or network access. Just like with Android permissions, we could audit the crate sources to lis

I hope that the Rust Foundation (which finally exists) can put in some time / resources to help fix this. I totally get that maintaining crates.io is a time suck for all involved, and mediating disputes would increase that even more. B

Do you have a discrete GPU on that laptop? Intel integrated GPUs are often set up to use main memory instead of dedicated GPU memory (as for the Iris graphics). I wonder if that makes a difference, though it is on the same package.

I lived in a rather small double occupancy dorm room for a couple years of my college career. It was common to leave your door open if you wanted to socialize, but then close it if you needed some quiet to study. And there are all types. S

Sales tax is regressive, meaning that it taxes the poor at a much higher relative tax rate than the rich. Any transaction tax would need to take that into account.

The article is from 2017, so the author didn't have the option to immediately liquidate the shares. Gitlab didn't appear to be close to a buyout or IPO at that point from what the author knew.

Good old C. I am moderately sure it was the MPLAB software, I remember we had several of their ICD JTAG units (the round ones). But it might have been Hitech.

That's true. Though with the power consumption required for a VR GPU display, you'll likely need a decent-sized battery pack (maybe on your belt), for this not to be tethered to a power outlet. For this product space, I think I pe

I actually was talking about thermal efficiency of two-stroke vs. 4-stroke, and believed that overall four-stroke does better. Reading about just a little bit, this may not be the case... depending on what application you are talking about.
