I mean that Rust knows exactly when something will be deallocated at compile time due to its lifetime system (for things that are single ownership, Rc/Arc excluded). In contrast, ARC does compiler assisted increments/decrements if

Correct, temporary diets don't work. You have to change your lifestyle/diet permanently. This means after weight loss, you need to adhere to your new caloric intake baseline, which will be _lower_ than when you started. The more y

Are there other languages with compile time GC prior to Rust? I thought that was a pretty novel feature. I recall an ML variant with region inference, but that was just an optimization I believe for it's runtime GC. Edit: MLKit was the

I've only used this to go up/down +-10 lbs seasonally (although I did permanently drop 40lbs on a one time calorie restriction diet about a decade ago, but not exactly this method). One thing to keep in mind (you probably thought

Fair point, and and definitely some truth to that. I almost added "This works for me, your mileage may vary" disclaimer. I will say that what I said above is _relative_, so if you go out for fast food "more than you should&qu

If you fall into a routine CICO isn't that difficult in practice. First, while sleep/stress definitely impact the equation unless you are at an unusual life crisis, the ups and downs mostly balance out over time. Second, I don&#x2

Have you used wxPython at all by chance? Curious how it compares in developer experience compared to PyQt/PySide. I like that it uses native widgets, but if Qt is that much easier to deal with I may just go that direction.

I agree with this, and yet, I love these new languages (esp. Rust) so I'd hate to halt progress. Instead, what I think we need is a solid cross platform native UI library targeting C (libui would be a candidate - before it lost momentu

SixtyFPS ( https://sixtyfps.io/ ) is in progress for Rust, but it is still early days. It also does not technically use a native toolkit (it uses Qt), but I believe that might be on roadmap. For traditional GUI apps, I think

I'm still a fan of this concept, but I think you have to keep your expectations realistic. You are likely going to have to make some platform specific considerations, just a lot less than without an abstraction technology. Generally, I

This has been my method for quite some time. It is very time consuming. I rarely reach conclusions, but I get close enough to feel confident in my choices.

If I recall correctly, this absolutely killed FreeBSD in benchmarks while Linux looked amazing. I recall the editors having to put a note in there saying that Linux wasn't committing I/O but FreeBSD was to explain the huge differe

I don't always like Black's results, but I do like the opinionated nature in general and that I don't have to sit and think about how I want it configured. Wouldn't mind a few knobs though.

First, apologies for slight snugness of that that reply - probably not needed, and I've received some probably well deserved downvotes for that. Second, it does prove my point in that the poster referred to the "unvaccinated"

My point is that it is NOT a pointless distinction, and there is a huge discrepancy between "unvaccinated - prior infection" and "unvaccinated - no infection" cohorts. Countries that track prior infection (there are a fe

Apologies in advance for getting on my soapbox, but this has been on my mind for a while. The way in which the media has gotten everyone to say "the unvaccinated" is a 'disease' against basic science (not even getting in

Agreed - I have a personal project that needs a GUI. Still debating which to use but right now GTK4 is likely my top pick due it's binding maturity. Having a codebase to look at, esp. one that has obviously taken great care in it'

Interesting - I honestly didn't know Usenet was still in use.

Misleading title I think. I assumed these were protocols in wide use that did not require changing because they were so well designed. Instead, this is about old protocols that didn't change...because nobody uses them anymore. That sai

TLDR; If using Tokio for CPU bound tasks, use a different runtime. This prevents excess tail latency in your I/O bound default runtime.

Rust isn't nearly as hard as it seems. Most people who think it is hard went up against it once or twice for a week or so and gave up. What they didn't realize is unlike some other hard languages (ie. C++) once you are over the in

Congrats - this is a big hurdle to adoption that is now gone. The engineering that went into this is impressive.

I've always wanted to try Lisp but the fact that it is dynamically typed has always scared me away (and my experience with dynamically typed languages is the same - they are bug magnets). Rust is my go to and I don't think that wi

Ha - that neat little music video is good marketing. I'm half tempted to try the book based on that. The only thing really stopping me is that I hate dynamically typed languages, but still I wonder if I shouldn't try Lisp just to

I _love_ the Rust plugin for Intellij. I have used VSCode a ton as well, but never for Rust. In general, I think Intellij is heads and shoulders above VSCode, but it is possible that 'rust analyzer' makes all the difference (I mig

I think that would be very tricky to decouple variables here. The vaccine seems to reduce mortality from COVID, but if the vaccine were killing x% itself, the vaccine would only have to be more effective at saving from COVID than killing fo

The problem is the age group they gave is very wide: 18-64. It would be helpful if they could sub-divide this to give better perspective to which age group is seeing the largest shift.

There are statisticians who have made such claims by modeling many highly vaccinated countries. I am not claiming they are right or wrong, but there are people who claim they have found this signal in the data using statistical methods.
