IIUC, this crate has similar restrictions to the std Mutex. So it depends on what you mean by "work with async code." First, lock acquisition seems to be a blocking method. And I don't see a `try_lock` method, so the naive pa

Yeah, it's a pretty versatile phrase that's hard to explain. But it does often have a connotation of childishness or naivety, even when used sincerely. It is often used an expression of thanks or appreciation, but I associate that

Defining BE integer data types seems like a bad approach. I wouldn't want to maintain those types. The maintainer would either have to implement all of the arithmetic operations or assume that your users would try to hack their way to

Exactly. No need to engineer an allocator. You only live once! void* malloc(size_t size) { void *ptr = mmap(NULL, size, PROT_READ | PROT_WRITE, MAP_ANON, -1, 0); return (ptr == MAP_FAILED) ? NULL : ptr; } void

Looks like Reddit. Ruins the clear separation between answers and comments. Terrible information density. This sucks.

Quite an unhinged take. The claim that malware "makes a ton of money" for Apple definitely needs a citation. I certainly don't believe it. Obviously, Apple understands that the reputational damage from malware is more costly

It's not though. I thought it was, and posted this same comment on the other telnet article. But I was informed that it is back! And I was able to confirm it myself. I don't have a telnet client on my Mac, but I was able to confir

That's like saying we shouldn't build anything that can be used for good if it can also be used for evil. By that logic, we should just turn off the internet. Too much potential for evil there. More seriously, the argument being p

I don't think it's functionally different if you write sudo on the command line or if the installer uses sudo in the script. As you said, most installers need to place binaries in privileged locations anyway.

As I understand it, if the metadata is lost then the whole filesystem is lost. I think this is a common failure mode in filesystems. For example, in ZFS, if you store your metadata on a separate device and that device is destroyed, the whol

It's funny hearing someone talk about "market segment" in art. Blurring the line between gen AI and human painting definitely seems in line with the show. Especially since only a human can actually produce art with intent. It

It is genuine human artwork, designed to look like generative AI. The retweet by the Apple TV account clearly ties the artwork to the show Pluribus, whose themes are relevant to the current societal discussions around gen AI. All of this ha

Has this been done successfully at scale? There's a lot of handwaving in this "just use AI" approach. You have to figure out a way to guarantee correctness.

"Just" is carrying a lot of weight here. We're discussing consumer hardware. Can a consumer "just" replace the components of their iPhone? No, they cannot.
