In a large codebase with many warnings (incl from dependencies which you might not have control over), the difference between a compiler warning and hard error is significant.

Tokio supports io_uring ( https://github.com/tokio-rs/tokio-uring ), so perhaps when it's mature and battle-tested, it'd be easier to transition to it if Cloudflare aren't using it already.

I get paid in crypto. My colleagues don't know how much I earn. If any of them discovered the address I'm paid into, they'd know my salary by looking up my address. I see the need for privacy in this instance.

Sometimes you're limited to local work. I contracted for a while, a few times when I got US based gigs, they'd raise my rate to what's acceptable for them, which was often way more than my local rate. If I tried to use that r

If Twitter wants Musk to honour the deal, does it mean that they'd have to maintain whatever terms they can, e.g. not materially changing their operations (assuming Musk loses the "hiring and firing" part)?

I had a laptop that did that (got people noticing), I went to IT a few times to tell them that something was wrong with my laptop, as colleagues' were a bit quieter. I wish that I'd have been more firm with getting a replacement.

Or simpler than law firms, an ombud process that fights for the consumer. We have something like this in my country, where we have laws against reckless lending. My mom is unemployed and medically unfit to work. She was given a credit card,

This will be a defining moment for stablecoins, and will test whether Tether is truly backed by liquid assets to the $80bn equivalent. The UST collapse will accellerate regulations, with Ms Yellen already commenting on stablecoins. More reg

Not a CS, but a damn good technical accountant and well self-taught developer. I led a team that wrote an accounting & reporting software for a specific technical problem. We had an architect who only knew Spring, and hasn't been o

It doesn't matter how you rationalise it. Someone created content with the intention of it being consumed for a fee. You downloaded it, likely from someone who illegally copied/reproduced it. Maybe I didn't "steal",

Endorsement/support/agreement. When applied on a tweet I consider to be vile, to me it means that the person retweeting/sharing it is amplifying that vile message. There's already a dedicated bookmark button.

I sometimes manually do this when I'm feeling petty, or when a tweet is so offensive that in real life, I'd disassociate with people who endorse it. Good to have a tool. I just tried it on a spam tweet, and only the author got blo

It's great to see stacks that forked off from earlier versions of LLVM coming back to the main tree. The SPIRV backend is mentioned in the discussion, and I'm hopeful that they'll find a way for all the components to compose

Interesting question, what about it? Would the incremental cost of more people learning the language mean that there'd be less output in the short term, thus offsetting the benefit of "RIIR"? Rust can be a difficult language,

I worked at an audit+consulting firm, and our laptops had at least 5 different "security" applications, most of them spyware. Then 2 anti-viruses (eew). They actively MITM TLS traffic, getting some Java applications like IntelliJ

It's not noticeable in full screen because the menu area becomes black, such that there's no notch standing out. I see it as extra screen space for the menu, clock and taskbar.

The article talks about Tether's issued coins making it as large as one of the top 50 US banks (if it were a bank). How many banks does the US have?

I have an Inspiron that differs from the same issue. Worse is that it has an Nvidia Quadro that overheats the moment I put it on a flat surface. The fan is loud, and it just won't go to sleep, so I end up always shutting down. I rarely

For the eventual consumers of the servers at the discounted prices: are we going to see the price decrease benefits? If say GCP/AWS/Azure decide to build a DC in a new region, and they go blue primarily because of the discounts, w

We have experienced the coldest winter since 2011 in the Southern Hemisphere (at least South Africa) this year. The summer was also warmer than average. I wonder what less conservative global warming forecasts would look like, and whether t

Yeah, I thought of this too when I saw the integration, but a lot of things have changed since the antitrust issues at the time. If there's bundling issues, then I don't know. The one thing I lament though is that using the same p

Looks like it is. If you're still able to see much of the UI, don't force-reload the page as it'll invalidate the CSS in the cache. I did that moments ago, and I regret it.

This stuff matters, and I hadn't thought of it in the way you're putting it. One of our local banks disabled autofill without warning, and they went out of their way to detect if someone was pasting a password. There was backlash

It's irrelevant because it's an immaterial amount. Itemising 3% has no effect, compared to 30%. I would support this, as I believe that we pay high taxes because we're pacified into not thinking about the amount.

There's a lot or growing number of people who don't use Rust for "systems programming" per se. People are writing web services or data products that would need to interact with cloud services. Object stores, SQL interact
