those menus started to slip a long time ago. they got larger, less organized, and got lazier about mentioning the keyboard shortcut. the new MS paint does a good blend of that style and a newer look the current text editor trend of having a

i never really understand why these get compared. i wouldn't expect that much overlap in the audiences zig seems like someone wanted something between C and "the good parts" of C++, with the generations of cruft scrubbed out

you have this backwards: reusing code couples the code. copy+paste uncouples code if you have two functions, they're not coupled. you change one, the other stays as-is if you refactor it so that they both call a third function, they&#x

i don't think i've ever seen a cafe do that (unless you count mcdonald's as a cafe). even the starbuck's thing of using your name is rare, but others have picked it up most cafes i've been in, the queue is usually s

this is the other solution: it doesn't really matter if the queue is a bit out of order, if they all get the same thing with little delay

in the case of drink orders, there's a slight benefit to ordering something unique (at least unique within the queue you're standing in). you don't have to remember your place in line, or negotiate with someone else about who

office hours is something i consider a positive, when looking at a job. i get that i could/should solve those things on my own, but it requires executive function and i'd much rather outsource some of it with both the social and t

a u16 can address it, which is nice. it's also the minimum virtual address allocation on windows. not sure if either of those are the reason, in this case

C# has COMEFROM, too: https://github.com/dotnet/roslyn/blob/main/docs/features/int... they make it cumbersome to use by hand, but not impossible

the "smart" kids do seem to have those skills, though. either that, or they're being tutored on the side, or they just require fewer examples to get it whatever the case is, i think the idea behind skipping grades is that the

a lot of school is redundant, and the courses are often non-sequential skipping chapters of a novel doesn't work very well, but it works great for the encyclopedia, and pretty well for a lot of textbooks it's also not that hard to

i think the thing that got me was that people wrote articles comparing this thing to a laptop GPU, and i didn't read far enough to notice. normally, people compare desktop stuff to desktop stuff, and laptop stuff to laptop stuff i have

well, that's a hostile naming scheme from the specs, a mobile 4070 looks like its basically a 4060 ti, underclocked to ~60%

by harrison_clarke 2y ago
a quick search told me that this thing's GPU (8060s) is comparable to a 4070 from what i can tell, a 4070 alone is ~$750. this thing is apparently $799 for the CPU+GPU+RAM+motherboard all soldered together ($300 more for case+PSU+SSD)

rust is definitely better than other languages for refcounting, since you don't pay for it on reads

you could do it in rust with Arc<T>.get_mut if you're implementing the clojure data structures, you wouldn't use a cell inside. semantically, they're immutable, and the operations on them all return copies that share no

there's no reason you couldn't do a clojure in rust but the main implementation benefits from GC and making it easy to call host (java) methods. as far as i know, the core clojure data structures are kinda hard if you don't h

by harrison_clarke 2y ago
i believe this is standard since c99 you do have to cast it, though: `foo((vec2){.x=2, .y=2})` the oldest MSVC on godbolt also accepts it, so it should be very portable as long as you're not using some embedded compiler from the mid 90

something i'd like to see in a borrow checker (which i think causes problems in rust, because of the "leaking is safe" thing. which sounds like it could be a difficult hole to plug in language design): in rust, &mut means

i think of it like having rust's rules, but you only get one (implicit) lifetime variable (that's probably wrong in some subtle ways)

you can stack allocate with just `struct` in C#. if you put a struct in a local variable, it'll be on the stack `ref struct` allows that struct to contain refs, and disallows putting it on the heap (so, you can't have an array&#x2

in my experience, taxi quality varies wildly depending on where you are in bay area, it absolutely makes sense to invent uber, because the taxis were awful. and in vancouver (canada), they're also awful, and deserve the disruption: the

shouldn't there be a lot of political will from the traditional hotels and taxis, and their lawyers? i can see that the answer is "no", but i don't know why especially with hotels, i would have expected there to be small
