You also need to own the buffer otherwise you’re corrupting someone else’s data, or straight up segfaulting.

It’s important to note that not all history is worth keeping, and keeping a dozen commits titled “fix” fixing build / CI errors from the original changes are a lot worse for bisecting than squashing it all into just one. I very much pr

Strictly speaking it does as miscompilations are a thing. Furthermore the go version covers the stdlib so any bug there is resolved thus, and for obvious reasons those generally do not affect compilation. I do not think this is a very compe

Not really, even at “low” charging speeds you have more than enough braking. Braking is the reverse of accelerating so the rate is about the same for the same acceleration (positive or negative). It’s really only if the battery is extremely

The fun part is it is pretty easy to “rewrite” ripgrep in rust, because burntsushi wrote it as a ton of crates which you can reuse. So you can reuse this to build your own with blackjack and hookers.

Note that this is the author of ripgrep replying to a third party commenter asking whether rg isn’t already lightweight, and comparing the two under various possible definitions of “lightweight”.

Next time that happens try looking at the paths, adding a pair of -u, or running with --debug: by default rg will ignore files which are hidden (dotfiles) or excluded by ignore files (.gitignore, .ignore, …). See https://github.c

A CRJ 9000 is 70000 lbs empty, 84500 lbs MTOW. An Oshkosh 1500 4x4 is 62000 lbs GVWR (wiki says kerb weight but it’s incorrect). The plane was landing and the truck was heading to an intervention, so they were likely close to empty and to G

As I wrote, this was a rental, there was no charger where I was and no mains adapter provided with the car, so my options were fast charger or pushing the thing. And even during long legs I don’t need to piss for 30mn every two hours.

And being in your car doing nothing waiting for the charge for 25mn is frustrating. Even more so when it’s the height of summer (and that was in a car where the AC didn’t block charging). If you can time it with some errands it’s less of a
