   How do guaranteed tail calls work when you needs to put arguments on the stack, which usually prevents tail call? (and whether a specific call needs to pass arguments on the stack depends on the platform, and the number and type of argument

   Pixelated Kanjis in isometric 3d are really hard to read. Thankfully the English text is not pixelated.

   I have a hard drive enclosure in the bedroom that was too bright to my taste. So much so that I opened it to remove it (which, incidentally, was really easy, it was plugged in the board via a connector, I didn't even need to cut wires

   Can't resist to point to the "Die GNU Autotools" book, which when read as English expresses the feelings of many, but it's actually German. https://books.google.co.jp/books/about/Die_GNU_Autotoo

   ウ is not really a stretch. It's called ウ冠 after all. BTW, this kind of search is common in 電子辞書. Mine is almost 20 years old and has a 部品読み search.

   There's also a category of breakages that happen when libstd adds methods to types or traits. You get a unstable-name-collision warning for a while and then your code breaks. I'm not looking forward for code using Itertools::inter

   What other sibling comments is true, but it's worth noting that there are cases where spoken Japanese can be ambiguous, and people disambiguate by... mimick-writing in their palm with their finger.

    See https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shinjitai#Inconsistencies My own goto example of these inconsistencies is 臭 vs. 嗅, aggravated by the fact that Chinese fonts will have the extra stroke in 臭.

    Kleenex makes toilet paper, too. Technically, that can be used instead of tissue, but that's not great.

    I actually did misunderstand. I thought it allowed callers to give an allocator and the callees didn't have to know for it to be used.

    Oh so it has, in fact, the same caveat as Rust's scheme. Edit: I guess the difference is that Zig doesn't have years of not supporting it, making the ecosystem more prone to support it.

    I mean, in terms of Rust, it sounds like Zig allows to use any allocator for anything in any crate. Not only structs in std or other crates that explicitly allow a custom allocator. In Rust, and only talking about std, you'd need to ch

    I don't know Zig, but it sounds like Zig allows to use arbitrary allocators for anything. The abstraction Rust is getting will only work for things that do account for using arbitrary allocators. Anything that doesn't will end up

    I got a variant of 39 just today, but it's very frequent in Japan: the field for the name required at most 16 full-width characters. Standard Latin characters are rejected because they're half-width. If you really want Latin chara

    I have similar sporadic Windows use, but never random reboots. What I do get is updates happening at boot or at shutdown. The latter is okayish, but the former is annoying: you haven't used Windows for a while, and when you do need t

    And those scratches, dents, or even more could be entirely not your fault. Heck, they could even happen when you're not in the vehicle. So effectively it's a bet against you, other people and more generally the world.

    With a big caveat: you can't have a dependency on a crate that is a dylib/cdylib or even staticlib in Cargo.toml. Your only way out is to have a build.rs that somehow builds the dependency with cargo. Which, if you're using a
