I don't think borrow checking plays a significant roles in most projects compiling performance. Running `cargo check` generally runs a lot faster (after the first run) than `cargo build`, even if it runs borrow checking, etc. AFAIR mac

Interesting, in my tests (posted at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27598329 ), the results differ a lot. Maybe its more about localization, I'm curious to see the same example from someone in the US, but there are

The installer asks for root permission and (I believe) may abuse it, being able to modify system files for example. I also chown + chmod LanchAgents and LauchDaemons in both libraries so that only root may write to it.

The installer needs root (admin) permission, which may be abused.

That's really hyperbolic, I don't believe there's anything you can do in C++ that you can't do in Rust. Your argument seems a lot more valid for Python, Java, as AFAIK in those languages you can't access raw memory.

First, (as I understood) you indicated that the market share decline and the layoffs were somehow related. Given that the graph started in 2009, 1 year after Chrome was first released and only the last datapoint is after the date, I don&#x2

I don't think this is related to script blocking or frames at all, its a long standing bug in the tor project site that anyone can trigger by just refreshing. Check other comments in this thread.

I don't think Range is intended to be a 100% solution at all. It only supports iteration over integers and slice indexing over a specific integer size, which are its main use cases. Also the author is exaggerating on the footgun, as Ra

by bilkow 6y ago
It looks like you can't. You can create a Range out of it, but the range is not an iterator. If you look at the Range docs[0], you'll see that it only implements Iterator where its generic type (A) implements std::iter::Step. Goin
