Wow, it’s funny because the last time I ran gkrellm was 23 years ago when I first started using Linux and I thought I was a l33t h4x0r… And just today, now that I actually write code for a living and use Linux on my work machine, I found my

Mapping a Vec<T> to Result<U, E> and collecting them into a single Result<Vec<U>, E> made me feel like a ninja when I first learned it was supported. I’m a little worried it’s too confusing to read for others, but it

> Remind me again how move, copy and clone works in C++ /s Sarcasm, but it’s worth outlining… C++ “move semantics” are (1) precisely the opposite of rust, and (2) not move semantics at all. - Rust doesn’t let you override what happe

My 2¢, it’s perfectly reasonable to bring up other languages in defense of criticism, because it explains why these decisions were made in the first place. GP literally said that rust isn’t a good fit for you if you’re in a position to use

It’s important that a for loop takes ownership of the vec, because it’s the only way you can call things inside the loop body that require the element itself to be moved. If you don’t want the loop to take ownership of the vec, there’s lite

The article you posted describes a patient using ChatGPT to get a second opinion from what their doctor told them, not the doctor themself using ChatGPT. The article could just as easily be about “Delayed diagnosis of a transient ischemic

I was responding to your second paragraph, where you talk about modern programs having to request memory from the OS with malloc and free. This isn’t true, malloc and free are not operating system concepts, they are ways for your program to
459.
by ninkendo 1y ago
Malloc and free aren’t handled by the operating system, they’re handled in user space. Underneath malloc is mmap(2) (or in older unices, setbrk), which actually requests the memory. And with delayed/lazy allocation in the OS, you can j

Bah, you’re right! I got it backwards, it’s zsh that has rehash, bash does not. And hash -r works in both. I guess I’ve been using zsh longer than I thought, because I learned about rehash first, then made the switch to hash -r later. I sta

by ninkendo 1y ago
I think bash has an alias “rehash” that does the same as hash -r too. But zsh doesn’t have it, so “hash -r” has entered my muscle memory, as it works in both shells. Edit: wrong shell, zsh has rehash, bash does not.

Ugh, too late to edit but I’m way off. It’s just scheduling variability, if a task gets more CPU time, it plots more of them near each other, and if it gets less, they’re farther apart. (I had originally thought the code used the duration s

Star Wars takes place entirely within one galaxy, and the number of supernova per galaxy is something like 1 per century, so, nah, Han was just bullshitting to stall for time while his busted-ass computer cobbled together numbers.

Same. It’s a pattern I’m reaching for a lot, whenever I have multiple logical things that need to run concurrently. Generally: - A struct that represents the mutable state I’m wrapping - A start(self) method which moves self to a tokio task

If they shipped a gpl3 version of bash on iOS , they would be in violation. This isn’t really a question: gpl3 requires you to not only provide the source if you use it in a product, but the ability to modify it and run your modified versi
