The string class you implement will be worse than the stdlib one, unless you implement small-string optimization, too, which is a massive pain.

Learn both. Rust first, because it's a lot more approachable. Modern C++ doesn't really have much in common with C to be honest. Also, you'd probably have found these quickly, but cppreference.com is the nicest C++ reference

You're free to explain how you think it's linked to the issue if you want to, but it just isn't. Yes, Microsoft contributes some open source software. That obviously does not preclude them from being exploitative toward other

Those things (parentheses and free software) don't make Guix a bad solution. It's just not for you.

I don't think it has to "obey Python semantics" at all to be an eDSL.

> When I think of a DSL, I think of a language with specialized syntax, grammar, or constructs suited to the problem domain. I think that's too strict. For example, JAX is (imo) an eDSL, but it doesn't have a specialized syntax

It doesn't matter much whether it's "intentional" or "malicious", though. It's still anticompetitive behavior.

Some of the answers at https://physics.stackexchange.com/q/33840 explain why "everything always moves at the speed of light in a 4D spacetime" is a statement that, at best, has no content.

Besides popularity (not denying that popularity is important!) is there a reason you'd prefer Rust over OCaml?

If you store the image in Lab coordinates, then converting back to RGB is two 3×3 matrix-vector multiplications and three cubes. The hue shift would be another 2×2 matrix-vector multiplication if you have (cos θ, sin θ). Is that that expe

Tangent: To simulate color blindness in a webpage or image, you can also open it in Chrome or Firefox, and use the devtools.

Yes, but it's a compromise, because I'm not happy spinning up tons of kernels and trying to share access to devices that do not want to be shared, either. You're right that the trusted codebase is huge, but I sincerely do not

This is probably a dumb question, but are any of the Firefox forks (IceCat, LibreWolf, Pale Moon) particularly reassuring with regard to security? I know the article calls it "fear, uncertainty, and doubt", but the browser is th

1. Chrome's security team has a very good reputation. 2. I don't know how accurate it is in 2024, but there are comparisons like https://madaidans-insecurities.github.io/firefox-chromium.ht... out there.

I use Firefox with Sidebery for vertical (specifically, tree style) tabs, plus a userChrome.css to hide the native horizontal tabs. Firefox has mobile apps, and the Android app supports (some) browser extensions. It works, it's boring,
