Given the big similarity to Rust, and having similar target group (people who care about concurrency in compiled languages), what made you decide to stray from Rust syntax @YorickPeterse ? Personal preference? It's all about small stuf

How many times did you write `for<'a>` keyword or manually used `Pin<...>` type, or specified `where 'a: 'b`? I personally didn't need to reach for this "dark art" in at least last 2 years - thanks

I only tried F# for few days, but it was a pleasant experience on both macos and linux. dotnet CLI should take care of build process, it can even generate self-sufficient executable (that bundle parts of .NET in them). The infamous required

Posting update since it's too late to edit: I confused multiplication with maximum. It's been too long since I took a course in formal logic. Though for binary values, multiplication works as well.

I agree that there are some very cool components of systemd (or rather, very cool programs living in systemd repo) - networkd, resolved, repart, boot and stub come to my mind first, they have no alternatives that come even close to them. Al

AFAIK the packages in Debian/Ubuntu world should only be removed on major OS release (Debian 9 -> 10, Ubuntu 22.04 -> 22.10, etc). I think that if you upgrade the OS by just changing repo URLs in apt config, the old packages will

It is a sorting network corresponding to bubble sort on 5-element input. It is actually pretty good - the code uses 10 comparisons, while the optimal sorting network for 5 elements uses 9: https://bertdobbelaere.github.io/so

I wonder which of these tools Ubuntu is using - since they enabled TPM-backed encryption (Bitlocker-style) in 23.10. https://ubuntu.com/blog/tpm-backed-full-disk-encryption-is-c... I am not a huge fan of relying on thi

I am not a big fan of systemd, but I am impressed in how they put this security feature all across the boot process. I also used some of the tools shown in presentation and they are pretty well made, kudos to the devs. (Also, most of them w

The thing is, now we use and pay the price for both - memory is managed in software, and yet CPU MMU and caches have to sacrifice space on the die for complex memory mappings. Instead we could get extra transistors for better performance (o

AO may not work for you, but OP's link to rd.com doesn't work for me - I'm getting some difficult captchas from cloudflare that don't let me visit that site.

It's a seemingly simple and obvious way to lazily migrate your data, but if using Sippy means one less thing for the application code to worry about, and (I assume) is a free add-on, then it provides a ton of value. I have to admit tha

Which is a problem of Prettier. I wish for the day that someone builds rustfmt but for Typescript, I will happily leave Prettier and StandardJS behind. I think it could be done today with a (big) number of ESLint plugins.

I really hope it'll be possible to use the cameras in voice calls. First person PoV would be way better than phone camera PoV, and it would free my hand from carrying the phone in front of me.
