That argument sounds totally wrong because you can easily detect truncation: if (strlcpy(dst, src, dst_len) >= dst_len) { // Truncation! }

More specifically Dijkstra's is a priority queue. A* is a priority queue with an added estimate to the cost function to prioritize searching nodes closer to the destination.

I keep meaning to do something like this in combination with Shamir’s secret sharing (which allows you to split a secret into M blocks, of which any N can be combined to recover the key, and M and N are configurable) to distribute a private

(This is a reply to multiple sibling comments, not the parent) For those saying unsafe Rust is strictly safer than C, you're overlooking Rust's extremely strict invariants that users must uphold. These are much stricter than C, an

No. HDR video (and images) don't use floating point encoding. They generally use a higher bit depth (10 bits or more vs 8 bits) to reduce banding and different transfer characteristics (i.e. PQ or HLG vs sRGB or BT.709), in addition to

Pretty much, yes. I've only used Gerrit a few times so my direct experience is limited.

> The idea, particularly as realized in the GitHub pull request workflow, is that the real “unit of change” is a pull request, and the individual commits making up a PR are essentially irrelevant. I loathe GitHub PRs because of this.

There's a difference between phone-dependent and phone-augmented. I don't know the details of the truck, but I think a happy medium would be for an app to exist to augment the truck's abilities and allow at-home updates, but

One of the fun things about dav1d is that since it’s written in assembly, they can use their own calling convention. And it can differ from method to method, so they have very few stack stores and loads compared to what a compiler will gene

by cornstalks 2y ago
But you can still use gets() if you're using C89 or C99[1], so backwards compatibility is maintained. Rust 2015 can still evolve (either by language changes or by std/core changes) and packages can be broken by simply upgrading th

by cornstalks 2y ago
As long as you compile with the version specified (e.g., `-std=c11`) I think backwards compatibility should be 100%. I've been able to compile codebases that are decades old with modern compilers with this.

Zig has builtin support for vectors[1], which I think provides some alleviation. But sure, it's not as complete or flexible as a whole vector/matrix library. [1]: https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/

But that still doesn't disable it. I can type in "cos(23 deg) =" and it will autocomplete it, even though I have "Show inline predictive text" disabled. I can post a screencast if anyone would like.
