I like this analogy, and I'd never seen this before, thanks for sharing. (My experience with Copilot and ML-assisted programming has been extremely positive, I would not choose to go without it at this point)

For other folks who don't write D: D has GC, no GC ("@nogc" mode), or Ref-Counting (experimentally) with "@safe" and "@live" modes.

I've found that a lot of folks writing Rust don't seem to grok lifetimes, especially the rules around elided lifetimes. I see a lot of manually-written elided lifetimes.

CLion is quite good you're right. I think it's the best of any Jetbrains IDE Visual Studio is also impressive, though I have a bit of bias against it from when it was so slow. (I know it's not the case now. It has a great deb

Bookmarked, this has a fantastic overview of both the RCU library's design and API, and how you apply it in a practical setting. The former is easy to find, the latter, not so much. Great resource, thanks for the share!

I will openly say I think Rust is an all-around better language. If you are building general-purpose systems software, or just want to write fast software, use Rust. If you are fiddling with bits, doing low-level concurrency, writing a GC&#

For a really unpopular opinion: I prefer modern C++20/23 to Rust. For 98% of tasks Rust is incredible. But modeling those 2% of problems that don't fit neatly into Rusts domain, the level of "unsafe", "PhantomData&q

Aren't you guys saying the same thing? The parent says, "There's too many people on earth already", you reply "Steve Jobs said Death is great and necessary", these seem like sympathetic points to points.

Yeah, Adderall is "Mixed-isomer amphetamine salt", it's a "proprietary" blend of 80/20 dextro/levo.

Oh wow, now this is interesting. To ELI5 this, what the commenter is saying is that you can take the "useless" L-Meth, and convert it to racemic, mixed D/L Meth. Which you can then perform a second resolution step on, to conv

I'm curious how folks in Rust implement striped-locking? Striped locking is where you chunk sections of data behind the same lock to improve scalability. So, 1 lock might protect 1,000 items in an array, for example.

Well, for one, you can't accurately grep for all uses of a symbol, or at the very least it becomes much more difficult Want to know every library on GitHub that uses "mySpecialNimConst" in it's code? Enjoy the hunt

Why not use VS Code C# plugin? I'm not a .NET dev by trade by I do dabble to keep up and I swap between Rider and VS Code fluidly I find VSC nearly as capable for most things, but much faster.

Seems identical to me =) Though yours also has the benefit of typed errors I've always liked Swift, but never written it. It seems like Kotlin and Swift are the most two similar languages.
