Anyone have any comparison benchmarks? I'd love to see how GCC measures up to LLVM when it comes to Rust binaries. I'm also curious if the resulting binary size is any different.

This article doesn't even get into the awesomeness of `cargo build` and `rtt-target` or `probe-rs`! I use these things in my Riskeyboard 70 hall effect keyboard firmware to provide a full-screen debugging interface that gives me real-

Is the reason for the law to reduce the number of cars on the road or is it more to reduce emissions? I'm curious if someone driving an electric would get ticketed as well.

As long as the desktop environment provides a mechanism for applications to register their global shortcuts then all is well. However, without such a feature the application has to just listen for all keystrokes and check if it matches som

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure SDL just reads the keydown/keyup events it gets from the X server (that's why you don't need to choose a keyboard device when you use it). So without X running SDL wouldn't be

Not necessarily! SSH is terminal-agnostic: It doesn't care what or even if you're running a terminal or a shell on either end. It's perfectly reasonable to setup a pipe that sends binary data through SSH: cat somef

I haven't had any lag issues with it and my HTPC is running a 12-year-old processor with a 10-year-old AMD GPU. Maybe it's an Intel or Nvidia driver issue? I'm running KDE and have it configured to disable the compositor whe

I completely disagree. I have a Roku-powered TV, Amazon FireTV, Chromecast Ultra, and have used quite a lot of "smart TV" interfaces. They all suck compared to KDE + VLC + Firefox (with uBlock Origin). Smart TV/device inte

It's simple, really: Newer devices are faster and have nicer features (e.g. better camera) and it's not really that inconvenient to pay an extra $20-30/month to get a new phone every two years. You can pay $150 to get a new

It stands to reason that if you're going to be running wires over the entire field you wouldn't need flying drones so much as you would need cameras on wheels (like they have at football stadiums). If the camera sees the correct

At what point does the complexity outweigh the benefits? Just because someone wants to control a UI element to the nth pixel doesn't mean we should let them do that. At this point I'm thinking it might be less bandwidth, complexi

Hah: I am very particular about fonts myself but what bugs me most isn't sub-pixel hinting (which is "good enough" with the latest freetype IMHO) it's the size of fonts. Windows is so far off the mark on 99% of computers

The late 10s should probably have IoT (e.g. Nest thermostats, security systems, etc) and "smart" home assistants like the Amazon Echo Dot, Google Home, etc. Remember: The S in IoT stands for security.

I'd be more interested to see methods of playing notes like this asynchronously; without having it block the main loop while the notes play. If you've got multiple cores it's no problem: Just run the note-playing code on a di

Nothing is fair use until a judge rules as such in a court of law. So to answer your question: Probably, but it would have to be litigated.
