This is a bit strange. I have Company setup to do the same thing and use it with Rust Analyzer and I have not experienced any stuttering at all! I read down a bit and it seems like someone has mentioned building with "--with json"

It doesn't, it's just the standard generic "C++ is complex and bad" post that people love to read so much. Every C++ related post will have at least one of these and they are always totally unrelated to anything being ta

There are still some things that C++ can do that Rust can't. A few of the larger and common examples would be, specialization, placement and variadic generics. At least variadic generics isn't really a performance thing, it's

No it doesn't do anything like that. I am not sure where this idea came from but it's totally incorrect. I have also been using the wl-clipboard program with no issues like the parent commenter. I use it for my password store, whi

I use ZNC over wireguard and it works fairly well! I can travel in the car with my phone connected to IRC, roam from my home WiFi to the cellular network and back without disconnecting from ZNC! It even works pretty well when cellular servi

I don't think it needs to become multithreaded, it just needs better support for async/event loop style concurrency! Right now we can run subprocesses without blocking anything with "make-process", but interacting with t

Yeah the concept of an Optional type is just too complex for other less advanced beings than yourself to understand. Having the Optional class be nullable is actually genius and makes perfect sense, they are just not bright enough to see it

That is irrelevant though. It sucks that Apple does this but it doesn't actually change the fact that Firefox use is at 3%.

This is not guaranteed behavior and should not be relied on!

Why do you think memcpy is normally used to copy heap memory? It's just a general bitwise copy from one location to the other. I think the confusion here is that there isn't always a literal call to memcpy for copying small types

I do understand what you mean, and in general I agree, but in this specific example making it faster doesn't require "optimizing" anything! If I am understanding correctly the "naive" algorithm here is the fast one,

I have a 500mb per month data cap on my current phone plan. This would put a huge dent in that!

It's not being upset over money, the point is not wanting proprietary code to include my code or code derived from mine. I don't care if people make money using GPL'd code, but I do care if they take the code and strip the li

This is very useful! Thanks for sharing! I've been looking for a list of semi-blessed crates like this for a long time. Before finding this and the OP's site I looked at the dependencies of rustc and cargo and considered those to

I do not have a specific code example, but you can use the normal X11 client interfaces to interact with the X server, which allows a lot of dangerous things such as sending events to other clients. We can imagine a rouge X11 client spawnin

Considering that unsafe rust basically just allows raw pointer access (see link below) which is already a thing you can do normally in C, I do not see how that's a very good argument against it honestly. As for the Option type, it is e

I think you may be misinterpreting my comment a bit, I did not mean that C++ was bad here, but rather a large improvement. My point was that in C++ (and others) you can completely prevent this entire class of errors by using the standard co

>Serious bugs doesn't care in which language the error happens This just isn't true. Buffer overflows are not possible with bounds checking. Using a language that provides containers with bounds checked access methods would hav

Bounds checking would have prevented this outright. Bounds checking has been standard in every language other than C since 1970, but for some reason C programmers refuse to use it, normally using arguments like "just make sure the inde

Nobody wants to completely ban AI or training. You can have progress in this area and still respect people's intellectual property. Framing this as destroying progress is silly. Why can't they train on the code they own, such as W

It's selfish to want people to abide by the license I released my project under? That's pure nonsense.

by chlorion 4y ago
FOSS license does not mean "do whatever you want". The GPL requires all derived work to also be licensed under a GPL compatible license for example.

I think you are mostly correct but most people don't like this explanation and choose to believe in magic or spirits or whatever instead of physical reality. For some reason the brain is "magic" and non-physical unlike other

Some people try to inspect code outside of a project before including it into something. Say there is a Github repo with a crate called "totally_safe_crate", and I want to use this crate in my project, but I am not sure whether I

Another good option is to create a new user and run everything under the new UID. Running under a new UID has less chances of accidentally leaving something exposed that can allow for sandbox escape. If you run everything from the new UID,

I am on Gentoo so I have some build time stats! My system has a 3900x, 32GB ram, and a fast NVME SSD for reference. The last chromium build took 1h:45m to complete. This build had LTO enabled and -j18 passed to ninja. Without LTO it would p

The author stated that the benchmarks run in headless mode, so I am not sure that it's SDL that's slowing it down here. Even if it is SDL slowing it down, Go FFI being slow is still a real disadvantage compared to the other langua

What does a GPU have to do with any of this? I think you may be a little confused about something but I am not sure what.

I find it very strange that you think it's not obvious that cat works with binary data. It's just a "dumb" program that reads from some files and sends it to stdout, it doesn't care what the data is! One of the inte
