I did not play Quake 1 at the time (mainly because I was not quite born yet), but I've played bits of in the past decade and this year I've played and modded it a ton, thanks in part to the remaster. I think it's all of those

All I'm seeing in these sets is mostly standard pieces, possibly with custom prints or stickers. The waterfall pieces might be entirely custom, but pretty much everything else is something you find in a lot of sets. Most things are mad

Not very many with 1) no garbage collection and 2) any meaningful open source adoption.

Esbuild is written in Go. You might have confused it with SWC, which is written in Rust and offers similar (or better) performance.

CPython is orders of magnitude slower than modern JavaScript engines. Especially so when the interpreter is compiled into WASM. It is interesting from an interoperability point of view, but this purely negative from a performance and mainta

I don't know about browser internals, but I would guess that the browser decodes the image once into a format that can be shown on the page (so from PNG/JPG/WEBP into a RGBA buffer) and then discards the original file. This s

Ehhh, not really. It really depends on what you mean by convergence. You could add every single one of F#'s features into C#, and I still wouldn't consider them to be same language or the other to be irrelevant. The strength of F#

There is Loom[1] (part of the Tokio project) for exhaustively testing multithreaded code. Though as far as I can tell it is designed for debugging threads, not async tasks. [1] https://github.com/tokio-rs/loom

VR is very different from 3D cinema, at least in games. A 3D movie is 99.95% the same experience as the 2D version, but VR games are fundamentally different because both the visuals and far more importantly the inputs are in 3D. Many of the

It is quite rare, but happens sometimes. You basically have to explicitly ask for a complex completion by writing a specification in a comment. Normally it tends to just complete a single statement or other syntax element at a time, which a

It is based on a machine learning model. I've been using it for a couple of months now and the suggestions are generally speaking surprisingly good. It has been able to usefully complete very obscure things, like parts of a PEG grammar

If you're referring to building destruction, they are just baked animations; the physics simulation was done in an external 3D modelling program. Which is why the enhanced graphics pack for the game is about 30 gigabytes.

No, not yet. This is just the first step, which allows passing handles to JS/DOM objects to WASM, but they are opaque to WASM and they cannot yet be interacted with in any other way than passing them back to JS.

The opposite also holds true. Because Rust supports much higher level abstractions than C, it can be much faster and easier to experiment with different designs than with C. Parallelism is the classic example, but I also really like Bryan C

You should never benchmark Rust without the --release flag - it can regularly speed up the code by 1-2 orders of magnitude.

I don't really see anything here that would be massively more complex in React. And besides, I've been hurt enough times by manual DOM manipulation to never want to do it again for interactive UI. It's a maintainability night

Do you know that the reason for this is that the compiler is too slow, or are you making an assumption? I agree that this would be a good feature to have in docs.rs, though it could potentially make the docs very messy to read if there was

What do you expect to happen? You ultimately have to store the state somewhere. Either it lives in the component, or outside of it, or you figure out some strategy to combine the two.
