Two high-risk demographics for inadequate medical care. Something I hadn't thought about up until this point, would socialized healthcare improve the situation for natives? I foresee a lot of legal boilerplate and additional acts requi

As others have said, a pure program is a useless program. The only place stuff like that has in this world is as a proof assistant. What I will add is look up how the GHC runtime works, and the STGM. You may find it extremely interesting. I

I wonder what the purpose is behind creating a whole new API? Why not just focus on getting Vulkan compute on AMD GPUs to have the data throughput of CUDA?

Which is particularly interesting, because the quality of the buildings themselves have taken a steep nosedive since the 1940s. Something like 98% of all new builds are complete teardown crapshacks. It makes you wonder where the money is go

by johnnyjeans 2y ago
It's inherently less portable as it relies on C++ and the cmake language is rather complicated, and thus making it harder to implement. Make and more preferable mk, are reliant on C, and are simpler languages making them easy to implem

by johnnyjeans 2y ago
I'm not actually a fan of make, I think mk is a much better language, but everything is relative. I still prefer make over any meta-build system or garbage like boost jam. In my experience the problem of modern codebases is that they&#

make is more portable than cmake. docker has zero value add from what I saw in the repo.

Not if your goal is to decouple from the US.

I consider that a feature. Working and training problem solving skills and persistence through trial-and-error to the degree required for that kind of thing is great. I feel it's underappreciated in potential that treating a wide swath

this has never been the case for me, and evidently for the vast majority of others as well.

Maybe I just misinterpret what you mean. When you say "no way" and "all cases", I take your meaning literally. The existence of pointers to bypass the borrow checker, disabling runtime bounds checks and unsafe blocks are

sure sure, and what i mean is that ideally the package manager can be made to use any arbitrary vcs system by the programmer. that's all. early on choices were made with cargo's development to where it's non-trivial to make s

well that's the thing, you never know. certainly if i ever used rust to a serious degree, i'd not stop using darcs. however right now that'd necessitate bypassing the whole package management part of cargo, at least for my ow

by johnnyjeans 2y ago
no darcs? and this is why i really loathe language package managers, because they're prone to this kind of thing. assuming one has no problems with the opinions made in a language itself, when it has a tightly bound package manager emb

yes a large component of it is about developers. if developers were perfect beings, we wouldn't need rust in the first place.
