That's a factor of how many units are serviced by a set of stairs. On the same surface area you can have one large building with two staircases and one long corridor that splits the building down the middle, or you can have two separat

Isn't that the same situation whether there's a single staircase, staircase + fire escape or two staircases?

I enjoy helping people get up to speed, but after a while it becomes overwhelming for sure. It's just that if I'm not around for some reason I know that others will review things, eventually. PR reviews will continue if I get

I'm surprised at how many people seem to focus so much on the effect of incoming PRs that require some mentoring to get them to a mergeable state or on "entitled users". I don't think those are significant contributors t

If you think that the project makes "fuck you" decisions at every turn, I invite you to peruse our issue tracker and PR queue. The burnout problems are because people care too much about making things better, and that is a never

That is not an universal position amongst developers. I would even go as far as to say that it's not even a majority position.

Blocking the EB GC applications of an employer that had layoffs screws over the employee, not the employer. If anything, the employer gets to have that employee tied to them for that additional time, regardless of the desires of the employe

Degree and work history are already a significant part of evaluation on L1/L2 and H1B visas. IIRC 3 years of work experience are considered equivalent to 1 year of college education, which allows those who didn't get a degree but

I think there would be value of such an option, as long as it would be completely forbidden to publish to crates.io with code that only works with those flags. It could work by replacing any function with type errors (including those caused

If that's the workflow you want during development, you can always replace references with a RwLock. That of course is not made very fun by neither the language (you need to touch too many places in your code to switch back and forth)

I would like that mode exclusively for the test suite to use. That way you start writing your tests, and if there's a borrowck error You delay that until the test runs. If it runs, and then it fails when accessing data, you can give mo

Because it doesn't have ADTs and pattern matching, which the gp explicitly called out as their reason to use Rust. There are garbage collected languages that have that, but Go isn't one of them.

FWIW, you can also write Rust without having to "deal" with the borrow checker either. A common problem I see from experienced programmers picking up Rust is trying to write code with minimal allocations, before learning enoug

It was the last iteration of refinement on the UI that was designed for 95. NT was meant to have its own shell, but that didn't pan out so the 95 shell was ported over.

A specification can be prescriptive (stating how things should work) or descriptive (stating the observable behavior of a specific version of software). For example earlier in Rust's post-1.0 life the borrow checker changed behavior a

Support wasn't dumped, it was demoted from Tier 2 to Tier 3 to better reflect the level of support that backend effectively already had. As mentioned in that thread, if someone steps up to maintain it, it can be bumped again to Tier 2.

If the compiler you use and the spec of your language disagree, what do you do? The Project is working on a specification. The Foundation hired someone for it. A Rust spec done purely on paper ahead of time would be the contents of the acce

Thats why we run crater against all of crates.io: there are changes that should be allowed that we hold off on because 9f breakage, and fixes we assumed we couldn't land that in reality had no real world impact. As time goes on the con
