Who wants to watch a movie on a square screen though? I guess it would be better for browsing in most cases.

I don't think they have any illusions about it. They are enthusiasts and enthusiasts like to spend money on their hobbies. If they can afford it, I don't see the harm.

Presumably, though, it could end up in a situation where the next most likely token is most likely with some low probability. Would it carry on then?

Isn't LAPACK written in Fortran?

I think you're right that it's an example of hyperbole. The important thing to understand in the context of this discussion though, is that hyperbole is not ungrammatical. It serves a function in a sentence to communicate emphasis

This is simply not true. According to Merriam-Webster, its use in a figurative context goes back 300 years. And hyperbole has a real function in language - it's not just laziness. Omitting 'quite literally', or worse, replaci

The use of "literally" in this context is so pervasive that any English dictionary will include it in its definition. This nit-picking is so pervasive that Merriam-Webster includes an FAQ on the words use. "Can literally mean

The wiki page on mail fraud quotes the definition and it would seem to include the USPS as well as any private/commercial carrier crossing state borders.

I'm admittedly a JS/TS and Svelte novice, but I think you can still do the transformations within your load function, just making sure they're part of a promise you return.

I think he's referring to the fact that as a function, calls to malloc result in a new stack frame.

English is way too irregular for this to work. Good examples are reign vs. sovereign and isle vs. island. The etymologies aren't linked and the modern spellings are basically due to scholars presuming the etymologies are linked and adj

Much of the differences between British and American spellings are due to Webster's attempt at spelling reform in the early 19th century.

I tried a meal kit prepared by a local restaurant group at the peak of the pandemic, and it was actually very good, though pricey. At the time, I think it was an alternative to eating out given the circumstances and was priced accordingly.

The Mutex/RwLock would be a runtime guarantee, while with this, you can make it a compile-time guarantee. I think that mutex are actually a really good example of what he's talking about in the article. You can only access the dat

Here's an example I threw together: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio... Hopefully that gets the gist of how you might approach it. I'm not sure I'd use the HashSet myself,

It's often nice to talk about things that you share in common - weather, kids, and traditionally TV have often fill those roles. These are the normal ways to break the ice and get to know someone better before delving into other topics

That said, I'm looking forward to seeing what the first generation of languages influenced by Rust will look like. A first iteration on an idea is always going to make mistakes that a second iteration can do away with.

Is Kago noticeably better than other free search offerings with ublock? I like the idea of paid search, but I have a hard time justifying US$120/yr unless the product is clearly superior to what I have now.

The company I work for develops geophysics instruments and we lace the wire bundles in our equipment. The feedback I've heard is that it isn't great in terms of ergonomics for the technicians who do the lacing - repetitive strain

Does Pydantic use rust? When I check the github repo, it shows 100% python.
