   Depends on what you're building. If the code you're running is not resource intensive and relatively short-running, developer time is more expensive. However, if your program is long running and requires high performance (number c

   Because the borrow checker is always watching. Even you're in an unsafe block. It's that paranoid.

   Thanks! My case is a bit outside that, so I don't think the compiler can deduce that. I have a file format which tells me the expected number of fields about a category, and I throw an error & abort if the number is not exactly tha

   I personally don't think that a programming language should save me from myself unless I explicitly ask for it. For every case I first prove to myself that I can get away without bounds checking, otherwise if I'm in doubt, I put i

   Asking because of interest: How compiler decides that it needs BC or not?

   If you don't need to do bounds checking, and doing it anyway, then that's a step down from C.

   I also don't think that we should be writing everything in Rust blindly. If you can guarantee that you won't be accessing outside of an array before entering a critical section, not having bounds checking is actually a plus. I hav

   Sounds neat. I don't keep a ToC either, but I write titles to my notes, too, so I can leaf through the notebook to find what I'm looking for. I also flag the notes of high importance. I keep too many pens inked to switch to your s

    I prefer to change color per note generally. My daily driver is an A5 notebook, which I divide to two columns for dense note taking. I carry a couple of fountain pens, and change colors per note. Allows me to visually divide notes at great

    I think the developer did a great job for at least trying . I'm no hardware design expert, but the amount of work done shows. Plus it's reproducible research. If you're so sure about the quality and utility of the work done

    BBEdit, Sublime Text, OmniGraffle, Pixelmator, Darktable, Forklift (file manager), KDE (as a whole), yt-dlp, curl, wget, freemind, mindnode (and I can add many more) are strong counter examples to this. They are high quality, packed with to

    Quality needs appreciation and an eye for it. It's abstract yet infinitely enhancing. I'll happily pay more for higher quality software and higher quality goods. At the end, I have my peace of mind, things work the way they should

    I'll be more blunt. Almost nobody in (big) tech cares about quality. All of the telemetry collected is about "crashes" and "what user does". Nobody cares about reducing memory use, increasing speed, etc. unless they

    This is why we have terms like "On the other hand", "in this case", and similar. These are used in memory palace mostly.

    Does that mean after Bluesky reaches critical mass, it'll turn the federation off, like Google Chat killing its XMPP federation? For clarity: I'd love to see this comment and say "I was wrong" 5 or 10 years later.
