   I wonder what is the ratio of software vs those type of hardware bugs in the wild. Maybe the product of this paper will help produce this metric.

   Sorry, my wording was not great. You got it right. I was saying that the evolution started with (a pointer from) malloc, then uniqueptr, then box.

   I think what you are saying is that there must be an informed decision betwen crashing the program vs returning an error. Instead of returning an error for everything that happens to be a logic error at a given level of abstraction.

   Compared to C/C++ "as" feels so much safe r. Now that Rust and we the programmers have evolved with it, I too feel that "as" for narrowing conversion is a small foot gun.

    I have been following rust very closely since 2013. As Rust is both evolving and spreading wide, we; the programmers, users of Rust; are also leveling up in how we approach correctness and design with it. Maybe the next evolution will be so

    Is it recursive? Presumably the same effect applies if it were tariff between towns, then counties, then states, and finally countries. Then what, we are missing interstellar trades to lower the prices on earth?

    Most C/C++ compilers have 32b int on 64b arch. Maybe the confusion comes from that. Also it would be 4KiB not 4KB.

    what impressed me is the latency low enough to game remotely. This seems unattainable in the bay area.

    One-off and prototype share similarities in development methodologies. But not in the long term goals. In a one-off I don't care about a few output errors that I can fix by hand once. Good enough is enough. A prototype requires to expl

    To be fair the basic ASCII keyboard is also default in US/Britain. And most people assume that's all they get. I have always used the "international" version of the US English keyboard on Linux. And I can enter all commo

    "Un coke s'il vous plaît" is not a proper French sentence. It does not sound right. It will be obvious it's a language difference and people will easily guess coca cola. In fact French people will most likely quip back &

    "Charbon". The French commoner will refer to the rock coke as "charbon de terre", shortened to charbon. Similar to "pomme" is apple, and "pomme de terre" is apple from the earth (potato). Charbon is a

    And I am annoyed with the lack of indentation with a dedicated character (like tab maybe). With spaces, my editor has to guess how much to delete. If I want to tabulate a table. It might fight me. This really irks me. I want it all. No line

    BTRFS can handle zoned disks. The doc claims that it was a natural fit with the way BTRFS works. The problem is that you cannot buy host managed zoned disks.

    I have been eyeing helix for quite a while. Been using (neo)vim for 22y. Why not Helix for the next 22! I find the helix model of select then act so much more aligned to my mental model. Rather than verb then noun in vim. Vim register handl

    I can only think of one thing. The computational overhead of this parsing insanity. With the size of modern web pages and the scale. This must amount to a very significant cost.
