Wondering how the 2021 MacBook Pro camera stacks up to the 2019 one. I did my first Zoom call with my 16” M1 Max yesterday and the quality seemed to be quite a lot better (although I coincidentally improved the lighting near my desk a bit,

Yup. Given, too, that it was presented at the Dutch Cycling Embassy, I (as a Dutchman) read this as the author trying to raise the bar/challenging the Dutch discussion on transit (or Movement, as her book is called) not to get complace

Both bloggers know each other (this is pretty obvious if you read some of their online stuff), so Dan Luu probably reviewed the other post early and thought it interesting enough to add his own take.

unsafe code blocks are required to uphold the invariants of the safe Rust code surrounding it. So yes, if you fail to uphold those invariants (and that's proven to be pretty tricky), your program is not safe. My experience is that you

We're mainly using it to find related names in the set of domains available from aftermarkets. We're using the fastText word vectors from Facebook for this. We haven't done any work specifically to deal with typos, although t

I wrote an HNSW implementation in pure Rust: https://github.com/InstantDomain/instant-distance It works pretty well for us at InstantDomainSearch. I like to think that this is a fairly idiomatic Rust implementation so

Does anyone have links to the Google and Microsoft reviews mentioned in this email? Browsing the last 6 months of public-new-work archives doesn't seem to yield many other reviews of the DID proposal.

List comprehensions date from Python 2.0 (October 2000), decorators from 2.4 (November 2004) -- so both of those are from when people called it "executable pseudocode", right? At the least there's a big discontinuity before t

I for one would be interested in a worked example for how you think this could be better, maybe as part of the internals thread? https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/blog-post-rustacean-princi...

I only use feature flags for features that require an additional dependency, or for features that really require a whole lot of extra code.

Yes, homophobia is a thing even in NL; what I think the GP post was trying to point out is that there’s been no connection between inline skating and any particular sexual orientation in NL. That rings true to me as another Dutchman who own

It’s not just Fly IIRC, the official macOS Wireguard also relies on userland Wireguard (wireguard-go), as does Tailscale.

Rush sounds interesting, but the README is pretty sparse. Do you know more context/background?

I mostly live in the Rust world, not the Python world, but I worked on two Python packages wrapping over my own Rust libraries and it's been pretty great. https://github.com/InstantDomain/instant-distance https:&

Your praise for Rust combined with the list of Julia problems left me curious what you find redeems Julia even though it has all these problems.

Is this common across the industry, or mostly used at Amazon? I’ve been a professional software engineer for 20 year and read a lot of HN, but I think I haven’t seen this particular acronym around much (I think I would usually call these pe
