   That's correct. Most people have a narrow concept of Rust and confuse it with iron oxide, when reality is so much more vibrant. Copper oxides are my personal favourite.

   Are you unaware that judgement will be used? Compassionate uses are hail marys and are used appropriately.

   And North American production will ramp up as quickly as possible. We've seen very expensive oil in the last decade which has made a variety of alternative extraction methods economical. Not entirely sure how a situation could arise wh

   I think we're using it because GitHub renders GitHub flavoured markdown well. Thankfully it also renders Org files pretty well, which AFAIK supports everything listed and more.

   This can be done in Org files using text source blocks with `ATTR_HTML :target _blank` https://emacs.stackexchange.com/questions/14320/org-mode-lin...

   In practice I am not sure how true that is. There is a phenomenal ecosystem around org-mode that will require an amazing amount of work to recreate in other editors. I haven't seem other editors get close to the convenience and integra

   I am fairly sure most people are using whatever bootloader is installed for them during distro install.

   I would be curious to learn more about how they classify websites. I would imagine they automatically crawl and do some basic keyword matching, so false positives are expected. Curious about stormfront though.

    Just to add more options, if you are willing to eat an allocation per transition, you can achieve a better developer experience by using trait objects. You can define the trait: trait State: std::fmt::Debug { fn transition(&am

    Are people so cynical as to believe the US Gov will arbitrarily deny necessary medical supplies? There is more variables at play than just '# of masks'. It is necessary to ensure the masks actually work, as defects will cost the l

    Totally agree. Anything that touches multiple owner territory gets ugly pretty fast. You end up with a variety of Cell objects, Rc::weak pointers, etc. Again it's possible but not trivial to figure out. Now I wish I read that resource

    If you're trying to do something very specific that doesn't align with Rust's ownership/memory model it can be quite challenging. For example, I wanted to make a skiplist library with features not present in other crates

    There's a couple ways that 'reinfection' could be reported right? - The test may have had a false negative - The viral load was low due to anti-virals, and subsequently re-surged once off them - The person has a compromised i

    For people who can afford cars today -- Why wouldn't they? I'm not convinced economy of scale applies the same way in this case. Cars (and mattresses, etc) are large and infrequent purchases dominated by preference. Dealerships ma

    Eh universal healthcare would probably increase 'drive' at a macro level as it doesn't chain the overqualified or highly productive individual to crappy jobs that happen to have good insurance. Not to mention you lose the ove

    Same effect here. After months of -20c, 0c feels like summer. Spent a few months in the bay area for an internship and was shivering and adding layers at 15c.

    Can also confirm this occurs in the Greater Toronto Area. I remember feeling very proud when I passed that test.

    You can somewhat emulate this with Weak pointers: https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/rc/struct.Weak.html They don't count against ownership, but do bring some extra headaches of their own (referencing counting ove

    Thanks for clarifying. I think we're just using different definitions. The only real definition of an array I've encountered in work and school is that it's just a one dimensional collection of elements, usually of static siz

    Thanks! Why does everything look like a multi-dimensional array for you in rust?
28. 238.▲
    by dpbriggs 7y ago

    That's not necessary true. You can implemented binary trees as an array, so are trees a special case of arrays? There can be sequential and non-sequential implementations of ADTs.

    I've spent years programming rust and I'm not sure what you mean. Do you mean arrays of tuples, or nested arrays?

    I'm kind of disappointed that you haven't subdivided each xterm window with tmux panes. Do only casuals comment on HN now?
