TCO is a lot easier to do in a garbage-collected language. In particular, with Rust, having any live stack value that conforms to Drop will break the ability to do tail-calls.

The article is rather tongue-in-cheek, but it's also not wrong. > The Power Vest flaunts a very cruel male privilege: being comfortable. That's written to get a chuckle out of you, but it's also touching upon a real trut

I may be wrong but isn't Multipath TCP pretty darn new and rarely used? At least on iOS you have to explicitly opt into it, either using the new Network framework for raw networking or a special configuration for URLSession, and also r

That would be equivalent to the server going offline and back online, as opposed to the route constantly changing.

Presumably there’s still overhead involved in being part of the WireGuard organization, no? If there wasn’t, then the only difference between being in it and not is branding. More importantly, without having already tried it, it’s hard to p

My interpretation of “not designed for mobile” is mobile devices, not mobile network. In particular, TCP is not designed for a scenario where the device keeps leaving old networks and joining new ones, or where a device routinely has 2 netw

I don't know much about SIMD but are there no alignment concerns with reinterpreting a slice as an AVX vector?

I mean the "eye contact yields right of way to the vehicle". In my experience as a pedestrian any time I make eye contact with a vehicle they wave me through, even if my intention was to let them go first.

It occurs to me that what made my phone fall off the sweet spot wasn't actually me bumping it, it was vibrations from notifications received during the night.

My problem is it's really easy to get just barely on the edge of the charge zone, and then at some point in the night you bump it ever so slightly and it leaves the zone and stops charging.

Holding people accountable for personal actions taken 10+ years ago is one thing. Holding them accountable for public statements made on behalf of a hugely influential company is different altogether.

I don't know what it's called but someone sells a silicone attachment for the AirPods that anchors it inside your ear. I know this because one of my coworkers has it.

You are, in all seriousness, the only person I have ever seen declare that AirPods are worse than other competing earphones. AirPods have one of the higher consumer satisfaction ratings ever, and anecdotally everybody I've ever seen ta

Cases are like cables. You need to have them available, and the only way to guarantee that they're available is to make them yourself (given that they're not based on industry standards). If case you bought 2 years ago still fit o

Probably my favorite trick, in terms of not lying to the audience, is a trick Teller does (The Red Ball) which Penn introduces simply as "Now, here's a trick that's done with a piece of thread". And AFAIK that's the

Definitely head facing. If I'm anticipating a collision, I generally turn my head slightly in the direction I'm going even if I don't move my eyes. I think of it like my nose is pointing to the side I'm going.

My favorite part of that is the fact that the perception of the hollow mask rotates in the opposite direction as the actual hollow mask does.

That's a very cool illusion, but it's not relying so much on the viewer looking hard, but on training the viewer to explicitly ignore anyone dressed in black. If you asked them "remember everything that happened in the video&

Apple doesn't release products that have no distinguishing features other than "made by Apple in Cupertino". Accessories without distinguishing features they prefer to just work with third parties on (such as Belkin). In fact

Other way around. Anyone qualified to replace a battery should have no difficulty getting their hands on a pentalobe screwdriver. In fact, it would not surprise me in the least if vendors selling third-party iPhone batteries included pental

What does? The fact that W3Schools only lists a subset of the possible values? That it just has a single "compatibility" row instead of listing browser compatibility for the various different possible values? Or is it just the fac

For those downvoting me, if you genuinely think that pentalobe screws are bad, can you please explain why someone who doesn't have access to a pentalobe screwdriver has even the slightest business opening up an iPhone?

I don't buy the explanation given in that discussion thread. A quick googling suggests that RSI from keyboards is related to how much pressure you have to exert to move the keys, and the low-key-travel MBPs don't need much pressur

Given how good palm detection is, does it matter? A large trackpad means more room for 4-finger gestures and less accidental triggering of the two-finger swipe-from-right-edge gesture.

How does comparison work if one of the strings contains invalid UTF-8 sequences? Does utf8byte() interpret the invalid subsequence as a U+FFFD REPLACEMENT CHARACTER or does it return an error?

Another issue with the "check after creating and delete if you find a conflict" is the client that created the other file could do the exact same thing and delete its file too, because both clients saw both files.
