So RAID two big drives? What's the point?
482.
by gcp 10y ago
I don't think this works. With more drives, you expect more drives to die in the same time period, so total expected loss stays exactly constant.

It's less cost effective to buy many smaller HDDs, but it's probably better for long-term data retention How so? Is the MTBF for a size 2*x drive more than twice as high as that of a size x drive?

If you have native code that wants to access a database, not round trip though Java, and not incur the size hit of shipping a separate copy OR (and this is key) want your Java code to be able to read the same database without writing your o

Communication, yes. But synchronous, blocking communication? You have an organizational problem there.

What's a "harmless feature"? What about features where personal harm are traded for societal harm? (i.e. most politics) Can we discuss those?

Arduino got so popular because it addressed those exact problems: realiable USB to serial built in, foolproof bootloader. Still, there is nothing like injecting a bootloader directly to RAM over JTAG, running that to get serial and upload

NO WAY is C++ harder to learn than Rust I've been programming C++ for 16 years, it's the main language at my day job, and I won't even begin to think I understand templates. But you'll see codebases that use it regular

I don't disagree - my statement was also directed to people new to this field. The overhead for existing C++ teams is learning the language, and (potentially AFAIK) interfacing with C++ code that has no good C style API. But Rust seems

by gcp 10y ago
I've you've never seen template programming, but just C with classes, then yes, I can see how you arrive at this conclusion. C++ in 2017 is very different from what it was in 1996.

Yeah, that entire paragraph is basically a list of all the things safe Rust will not allow you to do. It should be a sign that you're tackling the problem the wrong way around...

by gcp 10y ago
And imho the initial promise of addressing the out of control complexity of C++ was not met. I'm not sure. Type traits seem to be much more manageable than how the same thing is handled in C++ template code, no? Also, if we can bring

My point is that C++ has a learning curve that's as steep as Rust's. Rust is a C++ replacement. So this isn't a disadvantage for Rust. It may stop Rust from getting widespread adoption, but I see no problem with that. C++ isn

Rust's niche seems very clear: C++ programmers that need better tools. This is an audience that should be willing to make a time investment, and understands the trade-off, for the most part.

by gcp 10y ago
Is it common for code that fits those requirements to require C++ or Rust, though? Particularly in terms of performance?
505.
by gcp 10y ago
I'm hoping Rust doesn't go down this path as I want a replacement for C++ badly. So that's opposed to C++'s "It takes a few years to get acquainted to the language enough that people would want your stuff in produ

I think it's mostly the latter, also Atom doesn't seem to be particularly written for efficiency. Firefox OS phones shipped with less RAM than Atom/VSCode use.
