The borrow checker can't reason about certain scenarios that are (obvious to the human) safe. When that happens it'll error on the side of caution and prevent the safe code from being compiled. The discussion here: https:/&#

"Warn" is nicer phrasing than what the compiler actually does. Rust's compiler will straight up refuse to compile your code if it thinks it has a concurrency bug in it.

I think ember will stick around. I even think it'll overtake Angular one day since it has a better dev/upgrade experience. I don't think it'll ever hit mass appeal, partially because it's quite a niche cookie cutter

I use side projects to figure out what aspects of software engineering the candidate seems to enjoy. Do they fiddle with the CSS nonstop to get the margins just right? Are they constantly trying to decrease the memory impact of a function?

It's very difficult for the Chinese government to discover or seize foreign property. If you illegally exported money from China, you couldn't exactly keep it in a bank where the Chinese government could claw it back. So you buy p

Read about the first bit of Rust shipping here: https://hacks.mozilla.org/2016/07/shipping-rust-in-firefox/ And many of the Rust things that make FF56+ fast can be found here: https://wiki.mozilla.

It's not quite a new profile since the container retains all your configuration and extensions and a profile doesn't. It's more similar to a private browsing session, except things aren't forgotten, and you can have as m

You can also turn off search suggestions for the address bar so it only sends things to Google when you search. It's still giving search information to Google, but that's much more preferable to sending literally everything you ty

We did this experiment too! When we did our initial benchmarks, Go had a healthy performance lead on pure CPU or IO workloads over Elixir and Scala. Then we went through with the full POC of our toy webserver project and the performance dif

The language that appeals to the masses with low barrier to entry in a niche always wins the popularity contest in that domain. I attribute it to herd mentality; assuming skill has a standard distribution, the average developer herd gets a

When you need to start worrying about memory allocation control, garbage collection latency, pointers, byte padding, and CPU instructions per operation, Go might be not be the best tool for the job anymore. Seems like Rust might be a better

Considering for gubernatorial it went 53-45 blue in 2006, to 52-46 red in 2010, to 53-46 red in 2012 during the recall, and back to at 52-47 red in 2014; yes, I do think Wisconsin swung redder as a whole.

Interesting you picked those states, of those states, all but North Carolina have been becoming bluer. Using 2012 vs 2016 presidential margin of victory, with blueness being positive, Texas went −15.78% to -9.00%, Virginia went 3.87% to 5.3
