The set of all &T is larger than the set of T. Let’s consider the case where T is u8. There are 256 inhabitants of the u8 type (0u8-255u8). Now consider &u8. Each u8 referent is still some value between 0 and 255, but the number of

They have separate backends for the languages, which is just like any other library for the respective language. E.g. in Rust, the Slint libraries are linked into the executable just like any other Cargo dependency — no need for separate DL

I think your response is resulting in so much disagreement in the comments due to differences in how this quote is parsed: > On average in relationships, women's greatest value is their youth and beauty (early/mid 20s), men&#x2

FWIW, I didn’t read what GP wrote as being prescriptive nor “justification”, but rather an observation of the statistics involved in heterosexual males selection of dating/marriage prospects. I hate the idea of anyone feeling inferio

#1 priority is optimizing the city you live in. What you’re looking for: - population density: the more opportunities to connect with someone, the better. A densely packed city selects (or transforms others into) people who are open to meet

I’m well aware of that. I didn’t make it explicit (as I thought it logically followed) that one would execute the local copy after review. Even putting aside the security aspect, downloading something twice makes little sense, so I thought

Answering a slightly different question than the one you’re explicitly asking: I think then utility of this setup is being notified while you’re away from your machine. I often leave clothes in the wash for 24 hours (or longer), and then th

Slint already supports rendering just the dirty regions of the screen. SPI is a major performance handicap though — they could use PIO on the RP2040 to implement an 8 or 16 bit parallel bus (and then they’d need a display with support for p

For an example of a faster demo, see my Slint backend for the Teensy MicroMod: https://twitter.com/charlesstrahan/status/163002622435647488... Now, admittedly, this is 600 MHz beast (the NXP i.MX RT1062). But I’d

If you’re worried about securing server side resources by hardening the client side, you’re doing something wrong. At any rate, the example you give is arguably a better case than what we have right now with JS — anyone interested in subver

Let’s say, for example, that I invite a friend over and offer them a glass of water. Would you be similarly upset to find that I don’t recommend that they first send a sample of the water to be tested for purity before consuming said glass

Well, with the exception of AWS, unless something has changed recently — they notoriously only support one second factor (i.e. if you use YubiKeys or similar, you can only use one).

It’s also important to realize that no one was “bitching” in this thread. It was claimed that the price price wasn’t all that bad, to which someone raised a counterpoint. The reality is that, if you need a lot of RAM and SSD space, it’s goi

Knowing something is written Rust does tell me that it will be relatively easy to add my own features (possibly upstreaming those changes if others so desire) and fix any bugs I find. Why? Because a project written in Rust will certainly be

FWIW, I find Cargo to be one of the biggest reasons I like Rust so much — maybe even more than anything to do with Rust itself or safe code. I’ll often look for command line tools written in Rust, but not because of Rust fanboyism, but beca

Not too strange. Imagine the reverse: a C compiler written in Rust. There is an awful lot of software in C that I want to use, but I really dislike C itself. If I found some deficiency in C compilers and felt the need to write my own, I cer
