I don't think they can ban emulators without just straight up banning competitors like AMD that make compatible chips. (which presumably they would have done if they could)

It's important to point out that rust-analyzer uses some bleeding edge features of the protocol, so sometimes certain things won't work as well in editors other than vscode. That being said, I believe the rust-analyzer author has

A huge amount of the work of distro maintainers is actually just this kind of backporting and applying security fixes. You're right that technically, the python foundation (or whoever owns the trademark) could come after redhat for mak

Yeah, it's very similar conceptually to adding a scripting language. But the point isn't to add user extensibility to the system, it's to have an introspectable description of the program. So in the scripting analogy, what yo

Highly recommend Bastion if you're looking for a Rust Actor library / runtime. It uses async/await etc, and has supervision trees and restart strategies taken straight from Erlang/OTP https://docs.rs/bast

Patents run out and they are made public. If you go through the expensive process of developing a drug, you're likely to want to get a return on that. If there is enough evidence for the cure to work that a company wants to bury it, th

It depends on the granularity you write your BUILD files with. You can certainly write a target for each individual test, and track dependencies independently. In practice, you might glob together all files in a directory and put up with a

I know that "conforming" is a short-hand in literature for authoritarianism, lack of creativity, etc etc. But it gained that connotation in a context where our culture moved from a high conformity past, into a slightly lower confo

I like this quote, but it's good to remember why judgement exists. Judgement exists because it puts pressure on people to conform. You disapprove of their actions, and you let them know either explicitly, or implicitly through your beh

Nix isn't great as a build system, because it throws a lot out and rebuilds everything when something changes. It's intended to get a correct, isolated package installed, not to maximize sharing. Bazel goes through great pains to

by habitue 7y ago
Good heuristic for whether it's worth considering moving to bazel for your build system: - Do you have 200+ developers working on a monorepo? - Are you willing to vendor all of your dependencies and maintain their builds yourself? If s
