std::start_life_time_as and std::launder honestly feel like a massive hack

Possibly off topic, but I was wondering: what are the most comprehensive data structure benchmarks out there?

I didn't know rust was able to tell when a method is thread safe. Where can I read more about that/try it out?

It is quite ridiculous in my opinion that the iso standard is paywalled. When it comes to standards, we should be driving adoption by making it accessible, in particular for open source developers, students learning etc. Piracy of standards

Great work Sean, this is quite impressive. It seems you were previously an EM, but clearly very technical. I'm currently an EM and technical as well. I'm wondering what made you take the jump and decide to build this on your own.

I enjoy most projects that I work on. Recently I worked on some graph merging algorithm that was pretty fun. I am also working on a parser generator on my sparse time. Before that I worked on some database query planner.

What would it take to have a parameterized algorithm where you specify the precision you want and get a fast implementation for that precision?

Is no-code the new trend because full automation with AI failed? I wonder if we're trying to realise what jobs actually require skilled labour.

What is a good resource to learn modern git properly? I have been using git for 10 years and get around with a really small set of old commands.

Philosophical question but why do we still use nurbs instead of, for example, subdivision surfaces? Is that mostly because users want to export to nurbs after editing?

I'm in literally the same conundrum.

This looks great, are there any similar tutorials written for languages other than Haskell?

I dream of a programming language where I would be able to specify a computation and maybe error bounds on input/output and get efficient code respecting the bounds automatically. Arb takes us close to that, but I still have to handle

I am someone who enjoys/excels at being a "glue", I'm not quite an engineering manager yet but I don't write tons of code anymore either. I have been struggling to find a job. Every job I see is either entry level i

Can I have a reference for that hardcoded buffer size please?

While filesystem block is usually 4k, I think ssd blocks are in the 256k-4mb range. So 4k is probably a bad choice.

It might be better estimated by the binomial coefficient 7,2=21, since each patch has to be backported to every other version. Still kind of exponential.
