The Unicode Technical Standard [1] (different from Unicode Standard) recommends treating identifiers (filenames, variable or fuction names, email adresses, usernames, etc.) different from normal text. There is a special class of 'ident

Thirty points is about the difference between humans and chimps/gorillas/orangutan. (around 70 IQ I think, but sources are very much in disagreement on this, claiming it's more around 25-50 [1]. Taking tests on animals is har

But this was in the hypothetical of Wikipedia being sold or taken over. If people don't agree with the practices of the new owners and rally behind a fork trusted by the community, I expect most moderators and contributors to follow.

Starting a colony on the ocean floor is also challenging and possibly leading to a lot of innovations [1]. However, compared to the efforts around Mars, there is no-one trying to settle the deep seas (that I know of). You don't need to

Yes this is indeed what some dating apps do. Other users are free to message if you two are a "match", or directly - unless they are new or receive too many messages, to "protect their inbox". This information is hidden

Still, being "friendly" and "well-liked" is an important skill for later. People tend to not want to work or have sustainable relationships with people they can't stand.

I agree for the most part, as I'm somewhat of a mathematician myself (theoretical computer science). However, you state "mathematics is one of the only sciences that finds absolute ground truth", which I would argue sets it a

Also, normally the array in Rust would also be a constant, with the keyword `const` instead of `static`: the reason it is static however, is so the C program can access it.

But in terms of viability, it is also a matter of degrees: do more than half of your users feel sick after using your product, or only very small percentage?

You can have anything you want with macros :) I just wrote a macro `array` [1] that allows you to write #[no_mangle] static keymaps: array!{ u16[1, 2, 3] } = [ [ [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], ], ]; or alternatively us

I'm merely curious, as when 3D movies came out a major complaint against them was that people got sick from watching them. From my very thorough research (googling "3D movie sick", and looking at the dates; all from the perio

Could you expand on this? I have heard many people say this about Rust, and I would like to know why. I myself am now so used to Rust's syntax that I don't know what is confusing or unreadable about it, and would like the outside

That is only with procedural macros. Normal macros operate just by token substitutions. Procedural macros are also special in that they are the only macros that can be 'unhygenic': creating new identifiers in the current scope tha

I think utility classes _first_, and not utility classes _only_, is a reasonable approach. My purist mind would prefer something like semantic classes as a sort of 'public', 'HTML-facing' API, implemented using 'pri

Yes you don't need const generics, after all that is what the entire post is about. I was merely offering a perspective on how the const generics might offer an alternative way to express the same ideas, and possibly change the idiomat

When const generics are fully implemented (they are partially usable on nightly rust now) this will enable an even stronger version of this pattern, allowing you the full power of enums to represent the state. enum SenderState { Rea

Isn't this mostly due to the huge redundancy? All trillion cells of that mammoth carried duplicates of the encoded information, and recovering that information involves a lot of matching incomplete degraded strings against each other.
