It's not like it's impossible to decide what counts and what doesn't. Insurance companies reject claims all the time.

At face value, it may seem to, but whether it practically would, in the US especially, is a totally different question.

If it's cheaper, I could see fast food really adopting it.

Doesn't that also apply to humans? We learn things and use them for future creative endeavors without even realizing.

I'm not very well acquainted with this kind of thing. Is this something that could be used with other open-source projects like Blender?

I get this kind of thing when I (very rarely) get a migraine. Interestingly, it comes on like 20min before the terrible crushing headache begins.

Carbon uses LLVM as a backend, so I imagine they just call into Clang for such things.

Rust doesn't have pointer arithmetic in the same way that C and C++ do. All you can do with pointers in rust is offset them.

Public keys can only be used to verify a signature, not to sign anything.

Pretty sure the microcode could be changed to deny a patch, since it has the most privileged level of control on the system.

Yeah, if you buy into the socialist class conflict theory. But it's pretty obvious that police only protect themselves and the state. They don't care about the private property of rich people any more than it hurts their reputatio

I'm not sure what embedded space you're referring to, but microcontrollers, in my experience, generally use monolithic binaries. I'm unsure why you'd wish to use dynamic linking in those cases.
380.
by pitaj 4y ago
Oh so your problem is that when attempting to dynamically link to the standard library, you're missing out on the dead code elimination you'd get when statically linking. Rust doesn't have a stable ABI anyways, so you can&#x2

by pitaj 4y ago
But that's just the default, you can tell it to use dynamic linking. What libraries were you missing? I find the rust standard library is better in many ways, and it doesn't have the same performance footguns.

It's a miracle that it worked so well. My props to Denis Villeneuve. It's also too bad that it flopped, but I'm so glad it was made.

You gave your review, and I gave mine. We just have different taste. I wasn't saying you have to like it, but you ended your comment with a statement: "[without nostalgia] it's pretty meh. Same with Blade Runner." that I

Tron: Legacy has its flaws. Blade Runner: 2049 is critically acclaimed and one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. It's beautifully shot and wondrously cinematic, with incredible visual effects. Better than the original.

For normal distributions like height, all three should be roughly equal.

> That’s definitely not what happens. Highest tier is saturated, developers say that “the market only wants highest tier housing”, and so more of the same gets built. If it's actually saturated, them prices will begin to drop. >

It's not that surprising. The housing market is in a state of shortage in pretty much every major metro area.

by pitaj 4y ago
Nope. Primarily, people moving into the new housing lower cost pressure on lower tier housing. And pretty quickly, the highest tier is saturated and lower tier housing is built. Or higher tier housing is overbuilt and drives down costs of a

You need to fill out the highest tier, as that opens up mid-tier housing for lower paying renters. Otherwise it pushes the highest-paying renters into the mid-tier housing stock, raising the prices for all below.
