Why does it have to be in the standard library when adding it as a dependency involves adding just a single line? Since (a) there's no one true way to do input parsing, and (b) most projects don't need to interactively ask for i

The final code is longer because Rust's standard I/O is a lot more minimal than Python's, Fortran's, and even C's. If you use a library like [text_io], which provides the equivalent of scanf, then I don't think

What would a language primitive for "dataflow" look like, and what would it offer over an implementation as a library?

Yeah, I know. Parent was saying that the History API doesn't need any server support, because you can just serve the same file no matter what the subpath, but my point is that lots of servers don't even have support for that. That

Is a browser really a "wheel"? There are so many choices to make, so many lines drawn in the sand. And besides, you really don't want the marketing and tracking giant Google to make all the decisions regarding the software th

Lots of (mostly free) hosting just serves the files you upload, so that wouldn't work unless you copied the files to be served at every possible route.

No, Mozilla would've gotten plenty of hate for potentially breaking sites, and adding features without discussing things with other vendors and Internet bodies. The thing is, we all know that Mozilla can't get away with that, but

Blink is a WebKit fork and is used by everyone, from Chrome to Opera, and soon, Edge. Apple and Google have gone their separate ways, and will make decisions separately, so WebKit isn't really contributing to the Blink monopoly.

A downwards user-share trajectory, and a downwards reputation trajectory. I don't think that all the hate Mozilla's getting is deserved, but a lot of people didn't like that one easter egg, or the mess with Pocket.

I doubt Firefox or Chrome on iOS support scroll-behavior anyway, since Apple forces them to use WebKit.

Adding just one application (Xephyr) is a whole lot easier than replacing X, though. It's probably worse for isolation, but it's also probably good enough.

I always assumed that RC has much better worst-case latency than tracing. Given that Swift is a language whose primary target is user interfaces, doesn't it make sense to optimize for that?

Well either half is utterly meaningless without the other, and could actually be arbitrary, right? So you'd have to have them both together for it to be illegal.

Very far-off digits of π (assuming π is even a normal number) are not easily accessed or enumerated. In fact, you'd probably need more information to encode the index and length of your sequence than you would to just write the data ou

It can always be solved with weak references.

This doesn't sound like a very good example. Fn inherits FnMut inherits FnOnce, so a library should just ask for the freest one it can support. Usually that just falls out of the meaning of the function. For example, a callback shoul

Right, unless I'm mistaken, what you want is `Rc` with `Rc::make_mut`[0], not `Cow`. [0]: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/rc/struct.Rc.html#metho...

Rust doesn't just give you better guarantees. It gives you no runtime checking, and potentially even better performance than naive C, because it can automatically tell LLVM when there is no memory aliasing going on.[0] Also, it gives y

- Doubly linked lists. - Cocoa delegates that keep references to some parent of the objects that they're delegates of. - Some event listeners (in the same way as delegates). I wouldn't say it's "rare". It popped up

Right. This is one of the things I don't like about automatic reference counting, that it's almost a complete solution, but cycles require more thought (but less cases) to deal with than manual memory management itself.

What extensions do you use that make your browser slower? I only use HTTPS Everywhere, which has no effect, and uBlock Origin, which makes most webpages much faster, so I don't see how this is true.

This seems a bit exaggerated. You definitely don't need to start with certbot or even with a domain name. Why can't you just start with a regular server on localhost, which can be set up in way less than ten minutes, and publish

I think you're overstating it. Why do people care so much about scalability issues, anyway? Given that (a) a stateless server plus an SQLite instance is much, much easier to set up than the proprietary, poorly documented mess that is L

Damn, you're right, it's more complicated than I thought. But what else would you use? setInterval suffers from the same problem, doesn't it?

You definitely use frame deltas when updating things (I mean, how else would you know how much time has passed), but when doing physics, that frame delta is constant for the lifetime of the simulation. Box2D User Manual > We also don&#x2
