This is beautiful in a way. It reminds me of a future long past. In a similar vein, wasm has been used for archival purposes. It's likely that a wasm binary compiled today will be able to run many decades in the future, perhaps on arch

Absolutely. Do you work in a relevant area?

This is a great talk.

I love this idea — a sort of virtual location that takes the place of cafes and bookstores that no longer exist in the real world. I've given some thought as to how VR could be applied to something like this and, furthermore, how an IR

That doesn't change anything. You can rephrase why UBI is a good idea to: "it could be me who can't compete against automation someday."

The paper seems to lack a comparison between regular multiplication of large integers and FFT multiplication in base 2.

Starlink is super exciting from an emerging technologies perspective —— (relatively) cheap satellite production, commercialized laser links, commercialized phased-array tx/rs, among others. These open up very interesting possibilities

Ah, I did misunderstand. That’s an interesting idea.

Having enum variants be structs has been proposed, and that could solve your issue if `mem::disciminant<Enum::Variant>` returned what you wanted.

Yeah, I’ve been following that thread. The storage idea is interesting but I don’t think it’s really necessary. The main thing it would enable is inline allocators that can be stored inside the collection, as opposed to the collection stori

This doesn't require an edition change, but I'm really looking forward to custom, per-collection allocator support. It's in nightly right now and very nice to use.

It looks like the platform does closed-loop driving of the electrodes. It can determine where droplets are at any time.
495.
by nynx 5y ago
Yeah, you'll have to add a method to whatever type you implement `Allocator` for that returns the size. When you call `Vec::push` or `HashMap::insert`, it'll allocate on the heap if there isn't already capacity for it in the

Rust has custom allocators on the way. They're in nightly currently. You can already set a custom global allocator, but soon you'll be able to specify allocators per collection.

Back when I was working on wasm runtimes, I ran into the issue of unwinding an exception through generated code. I had to do something reminiscent of what I mentioned above.

by nynx 5y ago
I see what you mean. That's too bad. I definitely hope there's better support for what you're asking in the future.

There are a lot of people on HN who hate rust for whatever reason.

by nynx 5y ago
The way you'd want to do this currently would be to catch longjmps on the c side, return an error code, and then begin an unwind on the rust side, catch that, and convert back into a longjmps. But I agree that it's unfortunate tha

Often, functions call trait methods internally and const traits aren't ready for prime time yet iirc.

When people complain that rust is changing too fast, I point them to updates like this.

I tried this with nebulet ( https://github.com/nebulet/nebulet ). Unfortunately the MMU cannot be turned off on modern x86_64 processors.

This paper always confuses people. The wasm sandbox is secure, and continues to be. This paper merely states that if you use an insecure language and mess up, then your program can be messed with.

Looking forward to not being able to afford storage anymore.

Matt O'Dowd is a well-known physicist. I'm not sure why you feel that you can judge him so quickly.

Of course it's possible . Based on a reified drake equation, it's not even likely there is any other life in the observable universe. If there were and they had visited earth, that would be astoundingly unlikely.

For better or worse, computation is not unifiable. Each computation generally needs a certain amount of storage space, a gpu that can run N trillion floating point operations per second and K billion tris per frame, etc. You cannot pick a s
