The ps5 controller, just like the PS4 controller, are succumbed to the dreaded stick drifting issue. I play Call of Duty and this stick drifting issue has made me own more than 4-5 controllers for each generation. At this point I have a con

+1 this is that my understanding as well regarding Rc. I can’t recall where I read but it is advised against using Rc for “not being the Rust way”. Do you have any references in doc or code that have Rc usage I can read?

I jump in and find a section about borrow checker. At the end, this book explicitly recommends using smart pointer (RC and RefCell) to write your internal DS to pass them around instead of convoluted one and fight with the borrow checker. I

I bough a Brothers laser printer in 2020 because my kid and I were home to study and work, and I needed to print documents. It has been a glitch-free experience for me. The firmware works charmingly. No more messy ink change. And the laser

I am in the same boat as you. I have an M1 Air with 8GB of RAM. I am eyeing the M2 Mac Air or the Pro. But, as I assess my situation, I use the M1 Air for light coding tasks: to learn stuff outside of my working hours, and not to run someth

mmap is modern? Lol. I used mmap in Java back in 2013 to offheap large matrices in our regression engine. Mmap probably exists long before that. Edit: and yes, the JVM only reported a few hundreds MBs used in the heap. In reality, the memor

At this time in my life, learning to do front end work at work seems to be more difficult than reading and understanding the LLM paper from OpenAI (or Stephen Wolframe: How LLM works lengthy article). I did some front end work in the first

I still stand by my question, though. If I consider WebAss is a VM, which I think in some extend, it already is given that it let the process owner control/limit memory and IO sandbox. But, my understanding is that a true VM also needs

One question that really bugs me the the sandbox security model. I'm sure the model protects us from memory and IO hazards. But, what about CPU-time sharing protection? I have yet to know if WebAss (or any abstract machine out there) c

Well said. But my counter argument is: why does Netflix do a revert course and introduce titles back to their job lines? At the beginning, Netflix used to just have senior SDE title. Now, they are starting to introduce more SDE titles into

Agree that I should not just stick Rc everywhere. The use of borrow checkers makes a lot of sense at a macro scale, i.e: libraries, APIs. But, I’m just wondering the justification for using Rc in a smaller scope, say inside my own implement

Serious question: can I just use smart pointer like feature of Rc/Arc combing with Mutex or RWLock instead of fighting borrow checker? I know this practice is shunned upon by Rust purists but I like to see how practical it is in real l

I paid nearly $1500 for my kid myopia treatment plan: specialized drop, checkin every 2 months. Nothing helps. They now recommend I do contacts for my 9 year old and I kindly say hell no. I think this is scammy at best.

It is interesting that there is a large number of consultants (I.e: low wage workers) working behind the scenes to support G Map [0]. Cognizant is their employer which is another surprise for me as I always thought it is an Indian company m
