I'm not a geologist but...does evaporation remove water from the water table? Where I live, my understanding is the answer is "no" because the vast majority of rain water is deposited in our groundwater. Things like agricultu

The condescension isn't appropriate here. I'm talking about using `Vec` as a convenient temporary storage without additional bookkeeping on top if the capacity() is meaningful. Like you said, Rust doesn't guarantee that becau

That seems suspect to me. If I call reserve_exact I do actually mean reserve_exact and I want .capacity() to return with the argument I passed to reserve_exact(). This is commonly done when using Vec as a fixed capacity buffer and you don&#

I mean the bigger problem with the IPO was that they opened at a 20b valuation and by the end of the day a bunch of investors got richer than anyone who built anything because the investment bankers left 30+ billion in valuation on the tabl

Does that matter? The UI is great. Hordes of people agree.

by duped 1y ago
That's extremely uncharitable. I think slack and discord have pretty great UIs, and that's all "web tech." Figma just IPO'd at a $58 billion valuation - is that not proof their UI is good? If it wasn't good, no

I mean in this specific case, just depositing it in a bank normally would have also prevented the problem. Storing $40k in cash anywhere is a bad idea. It's not an illegal idea though, the government had no right to take it. But also w

fwiw, many PLs find themselves needing to have C FFI if they want to support MacOS. It's not just a convenience thing.

Didn't mean to say imply it wasn't. I'd say Logic is also priced like an entry level tool, yet fully featured.

Sure, but keep in mind that's not how people who have never picked up an instrument think. It takes a level of expertise to get there. The point is that cheap is fine for beginners, while the more expensive stuff is worth it for seriou

It's more like when kids start taking music lessons. Most parents aren't going to spend more than $100-200 on an instrument, in case the kid decides they want to quit. But the entrypoint for virtually any instrument that you could

The graceful shutdown stuff is good, but always piping the output of child processes is not necessarily the right thing to do. Some processes need stdin (what if it's a shell?) and some processes will be checking if stdout is a tty. Wh

That's reasonable, but signalling this to a startup during hiring is going to be a negative. There are three kinds of capital they get to play with, cash, equity, and culture. Cash is the least pliable of the three to them, equity the

Fibonacci is a bad example because it relies on the linearity of `prev + current` to be O(1) memory complexity. A lot of divide-and-conquer schemes exploit symmetry and linearity of their internals but if the operation is nonlinear then it
