This appears to be a collection of for-pay Rust books no? Not sure the authors would be happy with this.

I love the "fairly good representation" of what had happened to the amp's internals (using Jenga blocks and random parts).

Ion thrusters [0], solar sails [1], nuclear pulse propulsion [2] are all things that have real research being done on them. There's more esoteric stuff (theoretical) such as the Alcubierre Drive [3] (Warp drive!) that's more of t

The speed of light is 299792.458km/s so according to a quick Google search it takes 4.28x10^17J to accelerate 1kg to 0.98c.

My theory is that it rained so much in the North West (e.g. the Manchester area) that there was nothing better to do than tinker with machines. I had the chance to visit the Science and Industry Museum in Manchester a few years ago (on a ra

This. I've found the same, being effective in Rust really requires that you change your way of thinking about your data structures (and code layout). Once I realized that, I was no longer fighting the borrow checker and I've bee

The intrinsics aren't portable across architectures, so using them vs inline asm (or linking with a .s/.asm file) is more about convenience/ease of use than portability (although they might be slightly more portable across di

Zed, neovim ... both excellent. Sublime Text is still good, but they need to keep up. Haven't tried Lapce, Helix etc. If it has LSP + tree sitter, that's a really good start.

I sort of see "written in Rust" as a feature. I guess they could say "memory safe implementation" but I suspect they'd also say "written in Ada" if it was in fact written in Ada as an example of another s

If you're parsing a serial protocol on an embedded system where you're only getting a byte-at-a-time (from a register), or possibly up to 8 at a time, then a parser combinator library such as nom should make it very easy to create

Yes, you are right! iTerm2 does -- as long as you have more than the default profile set up (and you have to set them up yourself, which is easy enough).

Most pre-recorded tapes were as cheap as possible and if you left them in the car player on a hot day, the tape would stretch -- I used to buy the record version and tape it to a TDK SA-90 (chrome) tape which was of much higher quality and

NoHo in this case means North Hollywood. Sorta like SoHo (South of Houston St) in Manhattan, or SoMa (South of Market St) in San Francisco (but not Soho London, AFAIK is not an abbreviation).
