QT is still far ahead. This isn't a dig on Rust, but wherever Rust runs, so does C++. There are a lot of dimensions where Rust is better, but definitely not "runs everywhere" and "ecosystem".

Those modules are parts of the standard library. As far as CPython is concerned, most of those modules are implemented in C, and therefore for practical purposes part of the interpreter itself. > How can a language be released? If we rea

wtf no, they aren't even in the same column of the balance sheet. Productivity = output per unit of input, according to some measure for output and input. For example, output = GDP, input = total hours worked.

Several TV models already incorporate that feature. If your device is supported, your remote should have a button conforming to the IEC 60417-5009 standard to activate it.

At least for me -- and I'm certain I'm not alone on this -- what makes a question interesting is not the question itself but rather how one approaches it. To what extent humans and other life forms have agency is a question one ca

It's a long-standing tradition in the hacker community to delve into stuff one only has a cursory understanding of. At times it's productive, as it helps uncover intellectual impostures. At times it's just embarrassing.

zip is generally implemented as a functional concept, where the iterators take values from the backing iterable structure "by const &". You can implement a custom mutating zip operation on top of the iterator protocol.

In Python an iterator is simply an object that implements the __next__ method, and raises StopIteration to signal the end of the iteration. It's not hard to implement just about any protocol on top of that abstraction, e.g. you have it

You would need a hybrid architecture with a NN generating guesses and a "watchdog" shutting down errors. Neural models are basically universal approximators. Machine code needs to be obscenely precise to work. Unless you're d

They were introduced when JS went through its "let's copy python" phase. They're kind of crippled because generators only really become useful if you have the equivalent of itertools to build a sort of iterator algebra.

And the language you use to target WASM is... C? I'm not necessarily saying it's a good language, but it's an excellent abstract machine. It won't die.

It's definitely one of the best-looking color scheme I've ever seen, but I've tried it and it's unfortunately not usable for me. My vision is really bad and the contrast is way too low for a long coding session. YMMV.

I don't think it really works, at least not for most people. Abstract algebra (i.e. actual algebra, as opposed to doing useless stuff to poor polynomials) requires one to have developed the mathematical maturity to iron out informal th
