Rust is designed that way, to be fair. They expressly did not want to be batteries included like python is. The reasons are what they are and not particularly relevant to the conversation, but pulling in well designed third party crates is

As someone who was in high school just a few years ago and am now working I would argue that is definitely not true. High school can quite easily take a lot more time than work, especially if you are an honors student or do any extra-curric

I am using improbable-webs grpc-web[0] right now and it works very well once some kinks were worked out. Only problem has been lack of client-side streaming. Additionally, I use grpcc[1] to test calls locally and that has worked well. I ori

I'm curious to hear what problems you've had with cargo. I've found it to be incredibly reliable and easy to use compared to most other similar tools in other languages like java, python, c++ (if its fair to pick on c++ here.

Locality sensitive hashing (what you describe) is really useful for clustering and doing nearest-neighbor searches. Its used in digital fingerprinting, genome sequencing, and other interesting areas.

I had the opposite experience. I measured calories everyday and for some time would still eat garbage but lose exactly what I calculated according to my TDEE (adjusted over time based on actual results not some calculator) and when I switch

Its been done before. Apple and Pixar did well under one leader for a time. "Huge job" is relative to the person and their management style. If he has realtively independent and driven teams for each company that require little mi

Perhaps. I will say a lecturer positions pays well, but not well enough for many. Its a problem in the valley for sure, though I'd argue its not the biggest issue by far. We have a small number of people apply (relative to the number w

The positions in question were actually lecturer, not professor, positions. We have former TA's currently going through the process right after graduating undergrad even. Even then, with minimal experience "required", its a h

As a TA at Stanford currently, I have heard this from numerous professors and can confirm there is a serious lack of candidates. I have sat in on lecturer "auditions" and even the amount of people that come to interview are low, l

You're correct, though its Apple's MO to supply security in an intuitive manner. IF you tout all these parts of your platform as secure and have one insecure piece that interfaces with it then it isnt a secure platform. The onus s

Airplay 1 currently has a built in delay of 2 seconds (its an old protocol). Airplay 2 will be released later this year and will fix this problem. For video it will not be suitable unless you use an apple tv which automatically corrects teh

Considering plugins can be written in any language and communicate via JSON, I'd posit they can be whatever you prefer. Turing-complete, even.

No that is not the correct one, we are using a solderless board.

Yeah I figured the original title I put was more informative, but oh well. Hopefully people click it and see its a pretty modern and interesting take on an OS class!

I am currently taking the class. Its an embedded systems + OS class that undertakes the challenge of writing an operating system for a raspberry pi 3 in Rust. The lectures aren't recorded sadly, but its the first time offering somethin

by jzoch 9y ago
Its an alternative. Rather than using a virtualized environment, you build everything yourself for a raspberry pi 3. No scaffolding, nothing. and its in Rust!

The USD is one of the most centralized currencies in the world. Just because everyone has some does not mean its decentralized. It is still minted and distributed through centralized silos owned by the government, and policy enacted by the

You are a bit off. As a preface, I really recommend reading https://github.com/ethereum/wiki/wiki/Proof-of-Stake-FAQ . For your first question, if people are on vacation and there are no validators then Ethere

Not only do you need to "stake" your eth for ~a year or so (as is currently proposed), but if you do not act in good faith you burn your entire stake. This incentivizes you to act in good faith. With PoW, you act in good faith sin
