This subthread is about the Macbook Air, which tops out at 32 GB, and can't be upgraded further. While browsing the Apple website, it looks like the cheapest Macbook with 64 GB of RAM is the Macbook Pro M4 Max with 40-core GPU, which s

Hybrid approaches are at least as strong as their strongest algorithm. You don't need to trust me on this, it's extremely simple to derive this principle yourself from basic knowledge of cryptography.

I'm not trying to defend "The Indie Game Awards", which I also have never heard of, but The Game Awards are universally acknowledged to be a joke, and always have been. By runtime, it's 80% soulless, samey trailers for A

It helps that the specific pattern of redeclaring a variable just to change its mutability for the remainder of its scope is about the least objectionable use of shadowing possible.

Those languages aren't expression-oriented, so you would need to assign the result to a previously-initialized variable in a higher scope. But that just makes this pattern clunkier in those languages. This subthread is about jumping to

I wouldn't call Rust "a big language" because of labeled break. This is a pretty standard language feature, you can do the same in C (and therefore C++), Go, Javascript, Java, C#...

Not if your goal is to make it such that OOM can only occur during allocation failure, and not during an arbitrary later write, as the OP purports to want.

But forking duplicates the process space and has to assume that a write might happen, so it has to defensively reserve enough for the new process if overcommit is off.

No, I wish people would let this meme die. Rust doesn't have a very broad stdlib, but it has an extremely deep stdlib. Rust's stdlib is huge for the things it provides. Classical JS's stdlib was neither deep nor broad. Furt

"Writing code" is not the goal. The goal is to design a coherent logical system that achieves some goal. So the practice of programming is in thinking hard about what goal I want to achieve, then thinking about the sort of logical

This is AI slop in a pretty dress. It's fascinating that space-based datacenters are such a catastrophically bad investment that even limp apologia like this can, at best, argue that maybe it's not quite as bad as you think, as

Rust certainly doesn't make it impossible to write bad code. What it does do is nudge you towards writing good code to a noticeably appreciable degree, which is laudable compared to the state of the industry at large.

Don't make it return a different result. Instead, if you must, add a sleep within the function for 1 ms in the first release, 2 ms in the second release, and so on. But maybe just fix the tooling instead to make deprecations actually v

I think this erases some interesting nuance. The original Gundam is unabashedly a toy commercial--ostensibly marketing to children in the exact same vein as the OG Transformers--except apparently nobody told the director, so it's an ex
