This is all nonsense. Accessing linear memory in a linear fashion is the way to go. You gain absolutely nothing by staggering memory accesses, because you’re waiting for memory to come into cache while the CPU idles, and since you have litt

This industry is in its infancy. We have some of the greatest minds working in it, and yet we barely know how to make things work right, and OP’s suggesting we try and design tools that an average person can use to create powerful software.

Milo never called raids on Leslie, and Leslie stated on national TV, she’ll send mobs after people who are mean to her, and posted tweets like these https://twitter.com/Lesdoggg/status/755218642674020352 Twitter h

You don’t need government investment to make that happen. The issue was the lack of money supply, which was solved partially by Roosevelt’s ban on owning gold, but partially by people fleeing Europe, which allowed the federal government to

It’s not at all agreed upon that the New Deal helped the recovery. It’s just as much argued that it prolonged the Great Depression. It’s baffling to me that you’d state that like it’s a historical fact.

Don’t think Trump, or HRC were best choices, but i’d still pick either over Sanders. Sanders presidency would’ve been a disaster to the economy. He would've made starting a business, and employing people even harder than it is now. By

If Tesla’s not competitive, then it’s not competitive. I’m glad to see the government involvement being reduced. Let the free market handle things.

How are these things in danger NOW? Did you sleep through the whole Snowden incident, and everything Assange published in the past decade? Trump can’t take away what you don’t already have.

THIS is why C is bad. It’s not because there are no classes, and you have to manage your own memory, or because it has unsafe pointers. It’s this. And it’s the same reason why C++ is awful even before you get to the "++" part. I w

I wasn't talking about that. What i meant was, if i have to implement it myself, that's not a point in favor of Rust. Though the slice does help with rudimentary bounds checking, so that's a start, though i don't see how

I never said i expect Rust to fix any of these problems, i would however expect it to at least try and introduce helpful constructs, instead of the ultimatum approach that every other language takes where you either program as expected or f

The memory safety issues happen inside of “unsafe” code, thus it doesn’t eliminate memory safety issues.

by dreta 10y ago
None of the things you mentioned, other than the slice type, which i don’t see how it would work on raw memory, are a language feature.

by dreta 10y ago
I went through all the Rust features. It doesn’t eliminate memory safety issues at all.

by dreta 10y ago
My point was that i haven’t come across a Rust feature i felt would save me from creating a bug.

by dreta 10y ago
I’m not saying you’re bad. I’m saying there’s always a point where you want to go down to managing your own memory when performance is an issue, and no amount of language features is going to change that. What i’d want is a generic support

by dreta 10y ago
The number of cases where i have to use a generic memory allocator like malloc in a typical project are extremely rare, so no. I never said that const is like anything, i just used it as an example.

Alright, thanks for clearing that up. I missed those in the documentation, since it doesn’t specify any of this directly. Though, still wide registers aren’t a language feature. I don’t care, nor do i think any other seasoned programmer doe

I’d love to see a survey talking about what bugs get actually solved by using one of these modern languages like Rust or Swift, since i personally never once in my career had a bug that wouldn’t have happened if i used const, let alone any

She ran a private e-mail server for top-secret communication while in office. DNC rigged the primary in her favour, and you’re suggesting she had nothing to do with that. Who’s being absurd here.

Most of the negative things you had to say about Trump are a part of being a high-profile entrepreneur. How does any of that come even remotely close to purging a private e-mail server you used for communicating top-secret documents while i

My point is not that these things are or are not true, nor whether they matter or not. My point is that you’re labelling Trump as the worst human being in history based on such minuscule things, but ignore everything remotely questionable a

Sure, whatever helps you justify crucifying a person for their views.
