The new ESP32 models coming out, especially the RISC-V models, all have security features like Flash encryption and hardware cryptography modules. Unfortunate for those who like to reflash consumer devices.

Or even that a character fits in 2 bytes, which is an easy mistake to make in languages like Java or C# that have a 16-bit `char` type

Not every project has to be suitable for every team of developers. Rust has a good number of people that both like it and are also deeply familiar with it, so it makes sense someone would build something that caters to them. Rust can be gre

Yeah you can override the global allocator pretty easily[1]. But the default uses the system allocator, and I guess it sounds like Wine's is pretty bad [1]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/alloc/index.html#the-g

If they're doing equivalent work for equivalent pay I don't think anyone involved has much of a chance for any legal claims, regardless of titles. The value of a title is far too subjective.

Lobbying can be extremely cheap when compared to actually fighting a court battle

Whether they do or do not have the authority isn't something that can be answered by anything but speculation until it's been tested in court, and I don't think any of the ISPs had enough to gain through packet prioritization

Exactly. Even if their laws only technically apply within California, no car maker is going to build a car that cannot be legally sold in the single largest market in the US. It gets even more difficult with the internet as there are few in

You only need heavy gauge wire for a high amperage circuit. There are NEMA receptacles for 240V 15/20A circuits, you could absolutely wire one up with the normal 15/20A wire and have it be up to code as long as you use the correct

by connicpu 3y ago
Technically speaking we do have 240V in all of our walls, you just have to use 2 of the hot wires instead of 1 hot wire and the ground-referenced neutral. 240V 30A+ outlets accessible from the garage/driveway should be becoming a lot m

For home use if you don't have a large area to cover, it's even cheaper to get an AC leaf blower. Just need an extension cord that can reach to the extent of your yard. Obviously less universally practical for professional landsca

Large corporations are going to play by the rules just because in general it's cheaper than risking going to court eventually over not following them. Sure some small fries who borderline should be paying you may not, but in the gran

In the age of digital projection, it doesn't really cost the movie studio any more to distribute their movie to a theater than to a home streamer. Yet I think it's clear why they charge the theater more: one is viewing for themsel

The rich are only held accountable when they screw over other rich people/other larger entities (like banks). Occasionally when a company engages in exceptionally egregious conduct against average people they can get a larger slap on t

Honestly, longjmp is just extremely problematic for any code that isn't pure C. Even just adding C++ into the mix can easily make longjmp something that can't be used without invoking UB. "If replacing std::longjmp with throw

"Semi-automatic" cars (aka an automatic transmission with a manual gear override available) are a nice compromise for those of us who want the simple convenience most of the time, with the ability to take control when we want to.

WASM essentially can call javascript functions that were imported, and I believe javascript is able to read WASM's memory (a big help for transferring strings). If you're using something like Rust, all the glue code to call any JS

Indeed, the navy sent my dad to go get his PhD before they had him as an engineering officer on a nuclear submarine. Sure some young enlisted might do some of the physical labor, but they're being supervised by someone who knows what t

Don't forget about nuclear submarines, those are quite a bit smaller e.g. the S6G model at around 165MW thermal with two 26MW steam turbines

I was very intrigued by that possibility, but it seems like the stack there is inverted from what it sounds like at first glance. It's for supporting HID devices that are connected to an I²C interface on the motherboard chipset without

In the sense that it's easier to decompile sure, but plenty of non-OSS java libraries run an obfuscator on their internals and in that case it's only marginally less opaque than machine code

Build scripts are a lot scarier than proc macros to me. Those get run if you simply add the package as a dependency and build the project, even if you haven't used them in your library yet at all. And nearly every ecosystem has build s

It's backwards compatible because the old behavior was to simply make long evaluations an error every time. The new system gives you the option to allow a long evaluation if you opt in

Yeah, it's crazy to think there was a time when cars put little to no engineering into passenger safety. A modern car is designed with room for the engine bay to be crushed to absorb some of the impact while all of the rigidity is put

Yeah, there's a HUGE difference in behavior between a house cat that gets all of its meals every day at home, and one that has to go out hunting for at least some of its food. The laziness of an indoor cat is a learned behavior.

Absolutely. I built my own DIY thermostat and was spending weeks of free time working on the configuration system for it so that it could do the things I wanted. I thought I had a decent system for it, and then I realized it's a pain i

I think one notable difference for Rust is that it's still perfectly possible to call async code from sync code. It might be slightly less efficient than if everything was participating in async, but often that's fine when it&#x27
