I think this is something that Rust might try again at some point, as part of a stable rust to rust ABI.

TB kills fewer people than COVID-19 because most people have had COVID-19 but only a small portion of the population has had untreated TB.

Are you really arguing that an active TB infection isn't transmittable? TB is in fact the cause of 2.3% of all deaths worldwide.

In Rust you could use a proc macro that parsed the block and translates the token to a new token stream that uses method calls with the appropriate operator precedence, for arbitrary operations you could want to define. You're effectiv

For anyone that might also already have a Nikon D5100 or D7000 to repurpose as a webcam, you can use a custom firmware[1] to clean up the HDMI output, an HDMI capture card and OBS to fix the aspect ratio. That's the setup I use. 1: ht

The project already used frame interpolation (through DaVinci Resolve) to double the number of frames in the video. Plus a low-tech "inside the wall" panned and blurred frame. Given the set-up, fancier scene reconstruction to buil

Of all the YouTubers out there, I wouldn't call out Technology Connections for padding their content. Sure, you can get a short summary of the useful information, but the show is about more than "short collection or facts". I

I don't think that qualifying XP as merely 2000 with a facelift is not entirely fair. XP benefited from having drivers produced for 2000 by the time it came out, but it also had additional compatibility shims to allow almost every Wi

Thank you for writing all of this out. Just one confusion I have: wasn't NT Win 4.0? The first NT release IIRC was 3.5, which had the same UI style as 3.0-3.2, but with the new kernel. This of course muddles the waters, having two para

A common concern I see is people being worried that the reaction to having "how much of our user base actually uses these features" answered will be to remove the feature entirely, when in practice it is more of "we think imp

That wording is used both by the IRS and USCIS. Non-GC holders are non-resident aliens, but some visas are "dual intent" which allow you to become a resident alien/permanent resident/green card holder. For the IRS being

That is the Rust stability commitment: Rust code will always * compile with any subsequent release. * Modulo soundness bugs being fixed. I've personally encountered 2 instances of that since 1.0, and they all occurred before 2017.
