Are there cases of such boilerplate that are not solved by macros?

Third party crates can include malicious safe code that doesn't exploit any soundness bugs, so I'm not sure how exploiting soundness bugs could make the situation worse. It's only a problem if you try to restrict I/O API

Not sure about the exact official stance, but can't imagine it's anything other than eventually fixing all soundness bugs, at least as long as someone is willing to do the work. However, an important thing to note is that Rust str

Why "Download Firefox Nightly for macOS"? Is it not supported on Linux and Windows? Why?

No, you can of course allocate W+X pages from the OS and put multiple closures in them using a standard userspace memory allocator. Or if the OS doesn't support W+X allocation at all, then you can have a bunch of tightly packed pregene

Browsers could just present an appropriate error page when a domain has an AAAA record but not an A record.

Is IPv4 shortage really going to be a problem? For client use, carrier-grade NATs allows to have 1000 IPs per customer, giving 6 million addresses. For server use, TLS SNI allows to have one IP per datacenter, which are estimated to be arou

That's only if one assumes long-term monogamous relationships, but there's no reason to only consider those. In fact, if a dating app worked very well, non-monogamous and short term relationships would probably be more satisfying.

How about getting the browser and OS makers together to use an alternate DNS system? It only needs Google, Mozilla, Apple and Microsoft to agree and ICANN can be made irrelevant overnight.

Looks horrendous to me, but I guess many people love it. Also, "truck" doesn't seem appropriate at all, maybe "tugcar" would be?

Seems like these guys need to learn the concept of consent, i.e. that if you try to force someone to do something they don't want, they aren't going to stick around with you.

Physically removing the number pad and the arrow keys can be useful because it allows the mouse to be placed closer to the center, but removing the number row and function keys doesn't seem to provide any significant benefit for deskto

Well, generally you can, approximately, given C/C++ code, produce Rust code that should give equivalent LLVM bitcode to the one produced by clang on the C/C++ code, so it should not be possible for Rust to routinely lose benchmark

I'm curious about why they decided to develop Allsorts instead of just using Harfbuzz.

It likes with C++ not having a proper module system enforcing properties like module import order being irrelevant, and the glibc developers apparently failing to produce modules having such properties even if the language doesn't enfo

While Go and Elixir might indeed be slower, Rust is designed to generate optimal code and offer zero-cost abstractions like C and C++ and I would expect it to do so in this case.

Both bombing drones and stealth helicopters seem to be relatively straightforward concepts that were not publicly developed simply because outside of the military there is no motivation to pursue those things. On the other hand AI and quant

Just setup a localhost server and open the default browser on it. Or just have a website, if you don't need privileged access to the user's machine.

Not necessarily, you might like sophisticated graphics but not play games where latency is particularly important, or just not be annoyed by latency and not interested in competitive play. Also as an anecdote right now I have 5ms ping to go

Seems to me that it would be very good for people who have fiber connections at home and are close to a Google datacenter (or just don't care about latency), and want to enjoy gaming on a high-end GPU without having to pay for it and o

Seems really scary to exclusively use a neural network for safety-critical tasks like this, without having an explicit method guaranteeing safety. You can't prove that a trained neural network is always correct, and thus this is likely

They could just use a secondary manually allocated executable stack with pointers and data stored in thread-local variables. Anyway, normally in C interfaces that take a callback also take a pointer-sized value to pass to the callback, prec

I think the test should be whether another company could offer a service giving the same result. So for instance this would be fine: - A web hosting company refusing clients, because you can use another one - Amazon refusing to sell the ite

All of these are mostly issues with the database engine implementation: 1. "FKs are in your way to shard your database." => not a problem for distributed databases that can query and duplicate data across shards/servers; a

Is this an issue on non-MAX 737s as well? If not, and thus the affected computer system has been added in the MAX, why not design it properly with 3+ redundant copies of the system given that it was designed in the 2010s when both engineeri

React doesn't compute diffs, and it would be wrong for it to do so since components are stateful, and so it matters how they are matched (the idea that VDOM diffing is just an optimization is a very common misconception). Instead, you

Correct implementations use stack probing (access one word for every page in the allocation) to guarantee that a stack overflow happens immediately rather than resulting in stack corruption.

Rust references should in general optimize better because they give stronger aliasing guarantees. Even for slices, using get_unchecked(1..) to get a smaller subslice without bounds checking might be better than pointer arithmetic as long as
