I must correct you! Wayland has not and indeed cannot remove features because Wayland is a “protocol”. It is the compositors that are removing features. This dilution of responsibility should make you feel much better.

A very good point! I didn’t think of that.

To provide the solution to the second part of the question, there is no closed-form solution. Since floating point math is not associative, there’s no O(1) optimization that can be applied that preserves the exact output of the O(n) loop.

It’s also worth noting that in rust you don’t need to be as worried about marking a function #[must_use] if there is a valid reason some of the time to discard the value. One can just assign like so `let _ = must_use_fn()` which discards th

What on earth is the value of a “hypothetical benchmark” as shown in the readme?

What is so unbelievably frustrating about math education is that these interesting questions are not even hinted at until far, far down the line (and before people make the assumption I was educated outside the US). I avoided math like the

All for privacy, but if you have Watchtube that has worse, less relevant personalization by default and Viewtube with better, more personalization by default, my guess is Viewtube will win the day with users

My hunch is that the people who buy an F-150 for groceries are not the people interested in buying EVs. The advantage of an EV truck is solely on cost and maintenance, so the natural market is businesses looking for practical vehicles, not

It’s something about messing with reality. Obviously I can’t know this since (as far as I know) I am not a rat, but I have to believe it’s profoundly disorienting for their little rat brains to interact with VR. At least a work horse can tr

I rolled my eyes at this at first but after looking at the setup they have I have to agree with you… there’s something viscerally horrifying about hooking something sentient up to a trackball with a VR “headset” with no way out.

The issue as I see it is that XML schemas are fine[0] for immutable documents but not suited for dynamic content. As a user it would be extraordinarily frustrating for a site or web app to break midflow because of a schema validation failur

I don’t think this is right. XHTML guarantees well-formedness (matched closing tags et al) but doesn’t do anything for validity. It’s not semantically valid for <td> to be a direct child of <table>, so the user agent has to make

For those interested in typst, Laurenz wrote[0] about the differences between the typst and TeX layout algorithms a while ago. The paragraph layout algorithm is the same but the way it interacts with page placement is quite different. [0]:

And it was done in 2012. I admit I’m surprised there hasn’t been more progress since.

SQLite doesn’t really accept PRs[0], so I don’t think is comparable here. The SQLite model is great for their purposes but I doubt it’s suited to a community-based open contribution setup. [0]: https://sqlite.org/copyright.h

It greatly saddens me to see how little concern there is for accessibility for dev tooling. It says something about our industry that accessibility is often viewed as a “luxury” feature that can be dealt with once you’ve reached some level

I evaluated gpui for a project I’m working on. While I’ve found the rendering and performance to be great (and actually switched to Zed as my daily driver after playing with it), the (absence of an) accessibility story made me grudgingly ju

While it’s interesting that Dom0 avoids Spectre-style branch prediction attacks it’s not clear from TFA exactly why that is so. How does the architecture of the hypervisor avoid an attack that seems to be at the hardware level? From my limi

When I was starting out in rust, replacing my IDE’s `cargo check` invocation with pedantic clippy (which has a lint for this use of `into_iter` [0]) was very useful in learning these parts of the language. [0]: https://rust-lang.

My grandfather, with whom I was very close, suffered from Parkinson's in his last decade or so. For a long time he was doing OK: Occasional confusion and the slow, shuffling walk that is characteristic of the disease. One day he had a
