What about good practice for the actual writing of Rust library code? I know C++ and there we have advice such as not reordering virtual methods, not using STL types in public APIs, not reusing enum values, exception safety, RAII, etc. What

The next version of FIX can try, but everyone stopped upgrading FIX versions years ago. Also, once you standardize the liquidity field, you need to think about its values. These expand continuously...it used to be two or three values, now s

The world probably could support lots more people than it has now. The question is, why? If we believe 30 billion people is possible, should it be a goal? What's better about 30 billion than 6?

The problem with legal markup is the same as with FIX, the financial data protocol (which is widely used). Lawyers (finance people) will never stop innovating (increasing complexity), and they will not be one moment delayed by a protocol wh

Same thing in Google Chrome on Android. I can only scroll until the page finishes loading (ads?), then the font size gets rather large, a menu bar appears at the top of the page, and it can no longer scroll. Like you I have never seen this

This might explain why the only time I used Uber the driver did not understand where to find me. I was outside near a fence opposite the expressway. He was told by the app to stop on the expressway and pick me up. This despite my entering t

One issue with Protobufs is they do not always enable optimal performance (latency, power). Better than JSON but worse than some others. Compared to MessagePack, Protobufs require a schema, which is not always convenient. Compared to Cap&#x

Before you put too much blame on car culture you should know a few things about Japan. First, cars are cheap, and lots of people drive. However, lots of the same people also have a bicycle which they use for short trips including grocery sh

In America that would be Waterford Precision Cycles. It's ok if you haven't heard of them, but you probably have heard of Schwinn. Waterford made bikes for Schwinn in the good old days, and today they make them to measure. You wil

One could also complain about Americans who choose to live abroad. They often end up training foreigners either directly or indirectly. Companies understand that outsiders can be used to gain understanding more quickly in some areas, and th

I'm not sure you need to detect the head position, because in the end you need to deliver the appropriate signal at the same location, so it'd be simpler to just have a linear array of 80 "heads" in the "disk"

Well the parent of the comment I first replied to said "Most estimates put the number of lines of code in a new car at near 100 million." I took that to mean total LOC in a car, not in an Engine Control Unit. But your comments t
