Whilst no single weather event can be linked directly to climate change, this is, surprisingly, consistent with a global increase in temperature. Whilst the rest of the Northern Hemisphere is warmer than it ever has been, Canada and the Nor

The "One Programming Language to Rule Them All" headline was pretty horrible too. I don't hold it against you though, – Julia is an exciting language and I really hope you guys do well.

Their OS X app is also quite good: https://www.texpadapp.com/osx Much nicer than the open source competition, to be honest.

Well... isn't that the point of Rust? Preventing memory leaks without the need for GC?
666.
by bjz_ 13y ago
Well that's the thing, while Rust occupies the same space as C++, but it doesn't just take its inspirations from there. It also takes it from functional languages like ML or Haskell (the compiler was originally written in OCaml).

Does `unique_ptr` incur a run-time peanalty for those checks?

If you can handle the strobing on the slides, this is an excellent introduction to how Rust helps you manage memory predictably and safely without GC. Well worth the watch.

This is by fellow who wrote the awesome book Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming . It'll probably teach different models of computation via the Oz programming language, but I doubt it will go into the kind of theo

Exactly! I found it hard to break into TaPL, and this is just the thing I needed.

This is probably the best clarification I've read regarding the difference between Go and Rust. They operate in different domains, and any competition is out of confusion over definitions (the source of many needless disagreements thro

Always on DRM is also a threat to the preservation of artistic works for future generations. Folks still play the early Civilization and Sim City titles even after all these years.

Indeed. I tried logging into the IRC channel, but nobody was around. Would be nice to see it with a great UI - it looks like it deserves it.

Oh wow, that actually looks rather nice[1]. The UI is ugly from a purely aesthetic point of view, but the foundations look rather solid. And Objective-C? Nice. [1] http://etoileos.com/

Yeah. Core Animation[1] is hardware accelerated too, which makes things nice and slick. Having standardised animations is also good because it ties the the GUIs from different apps together nicely. [1] http://en.wikipedia.org&#x2

That's partly why so many folks don't use linux. We love our nice UIs. I tried Elementary OS[1], but even that had really rough corners, and poor application integration. It's a real chicken-and-egg problem. [1] http:/&

This is a lightning presentation (11:36) on hygienic macros in the Rust programming language. It also provides a nice, succinct overview of what the language is about at the beginning, so it's worth a watch if you have no idea what Rus

It's saddening to watch our shortsighted conservative government tearing up visionary policies such as the National Broadband Network and the Carbon Tax.
