There was a music language made for the Danish GIER machine, made in 1971 (at least the 2nd edition of the handbook is from there) The handbook for the language is sadly only in Danish so it might not be super interesting: https:/&#x2

Is the whole issue not that they are less of a band of activists than they used to be. Now it is suddenly no longer about free and open source software, but more of means to run the whole machine, which is why they probably have profit orie

Ahh I guess that means that its possible in safe rust to cast a file descriptor to a different type. I was just looking at how socket2 did it and forgot to have a proper look.

The std api can only create UdpSockets, the trick here is that you use Socket2 which allows more kinds of sockets and then you tell UdpSocket that some raw file descriptor is a upd socket through a unsafe api with no checks and I guess it w

I rewrote my website to use typst for all the content and I really like how it is to integrate as well, its just a rust crate that I use in my build script because Typst is just on crates.io https://erk.dev/2025/04&#x2F

Pointers to a vec could also be invalidated at any point when adding a new element and causing a reallocation (I think Miri will shout at you if you use a invalidated pointer here)

You mean for the PlayStation? That is a FreeBSD fork, probably chosen over Linux because of the license.

Maybe it just have to do with what you are used to, it was one of the things that made me like Rust coming from F# it had the same `name : type` and `let mutable name` that I knew from there.

It should be noted that even though the post links to the perl version for some reason, it is actually not what cargo flamegraph [0] uses, it uses a reimplementation of it in Rust called inferno [1]. [0]: https://github.com/

Yeah there are some of those, but IBM has stuff like Ed25519 signatures, x86 at least seems to be a bit on the back foot when it comes to implementing things like that. They will probably rather wait until AES is popular before they add it.
