Sorry if that wasn't clear, it's been a rather long time since I checked on the Future story. There seem to be more options now than when I looked into it. When I did my research over half a year ago tokio seemed to be the only op

Thanks for the link! I knew about strip, which helps a lot, but the other options look promising as well. I really care about binary size, since for short running programs, or when startup latency is important it can actually be much faster

It was the runtime required to actually run the Futures. Rust's Futures allow for easy chaining, whereas I only implemented a simple callback that runs on completion, but it doesn't allow one to get at the computed value directly.

Ah, yes, that was probably it. I stopped looking into Rust's Futures pretty much as soon as I noticed how heavyweight the required runtime is, which seemed ridiculous to me, since Futures are so simple conceptually. I have to look into

How is the cost in terms of binary size nowadays? Last time I checked using Futures meant adding roughly 5MB to the binary. To me at least that is unacceptable, so I just rolled my own stuff on top of rayon's thread pools.

Also, if you use Box<Error> or failure[1]'s Error type you can get around implementing most of the conversion Traits, but you lose the ability to tell which errors can happen by just looking at the type signature and doing exhaus

Hi, sorry for the late answer. Yes, you can select multiple files with space and open them all at once using the exec feature (type "!"). When you press tab it will insert "$s", which will then be substituted with either

I think he meant he read it after he failed the class which didn' give him a proper understanding of the material while this book did the opposite. So that sounds pretty encouraging.

That is true, the time and space axis gets flipped at the event horizon. This also happens to a fast moving objects due to relativistic effects, although the roatation is usually not very high unless you go really fast. See https:/&#x2

I wonder if the space region in the interior of a black hole expands the same way as regular space around it. If so, it would seem to be possible for a super massive black hole to be so big that it would be impossible to actually reach the
