Wait, that's not right, let me think through this more carefully...

If that's the author's point then the article needs a rewrite. I suspect that was _not_ the author's point and it's offered as a good faith but misplaced post-hoc justification.

Is it even worth pointing out that the author misunderstands how UB works in Rust, given that at this point such a misunderstanding has to be willful than otherwise? There is _no_ UB in the safe subset of Rust, and in mixed safe-unsafe rust

What else could they do? If they don't vibecode Claude Code it is a bad look.

I understand there's an increased error rate, that's how I concluded there is an attempted DOS. But it appears not to be working completely, and so a post claiming X is "down" does appear to be pre-coordinated to reflect

There are no types whose fields "live on the heap", nor are there types whose fields "live on the stack"; these are simply not properties of types. Values always live exactly where you put them and you can put values any

The federal circuit COA has never met a patent they don't like. That's all that matters. Statute text is irrelevant. The federal circuit openly ignores SCOTUS precedent about patents (e.g. Alice).

That's the traditional answer parroted in the Wireguard documentation but a few hours' serious thought and design is enough to reveal the fatal flaw: any encapsulating protocol will have to reinvent and duplicatively implement all

IME with this sort of thread there is a huge correlation between praising OOP and believing that encapsulation is an identifying feature of OOP. Also polymorphism to a much lesser extent, but the other two almost none. It is very difficult

Maybe rust should put a function in the core library which does this! Send a PR!

I only do it if no one is behind the flasher; I thought was obvious. And I have OEM headlights.

When I get incorrectly flashed I force my high beams on and keep them on, FYI. Don't do it.

TL;DR. Zig now has an effect system with multiple handlers for alloc and io effects. But the designer doesn't know anything about effect systems and it's not algebraic, probably. Will be interesting to see how this develops.

I have long felt the killer feature of QUIC is its ability to encapsulate _both_ reliable in-order delivery and unreliable datagram delivery in the same opaque-to-middleboxes container. Whereas HTTP becoming the everything-protocol is debat

What works for Kmett most often does not work for mere mortals. As for your first point, I think it's self-defeating: You claim "you don't have to worry about libraries providing an interface to your chosen incremental strea

Only countably many of those subsets can be distinguished from other ones. So "anything I could ever imagine caring about" is surely still a countable set. I think the argument you are trying to make rests on a pretty serious fall

I think it's worth specifically calling out that the right way to set environment variables is in execve() only, as communication across an exec() is the precise niche for which they are the right tool.

And that means they know what lane they need to be in 100, 200, 500 ft down the road. Tesla has map data but it's so poor that they can't get the lanes right.

Waymos stop in the middle of the street several times a day, behavior I've never seen or even heard of from FSD. And I'm not sure what it has to do with lane selection. FSD goes around stopped vehicles without any problem too.

by nrds 1y ago
As you observed, lane selection is basically the one thing that FSD is completely incapable of. But other things it does well. It's important to note this is completely incompatible with the narrative spun by Tesla haters, that it all
