Yeah, there are likely statistical methods you could use to estimate the number of stale rules, but "try the top 5000 and ~0.5% of the rest" isn't that

A software bug is an error, flaw or fault in a computer program or system that causes it to produce an incorrect or unexpected result, or to behave in unintended ways. If the Rust compiler developers intend to provide backwards compatibil

The author insinuates that the breakage is intentional, but I'm not convinced that it is. For instance, one of the cited issues is that newer cargo versions cannot parse the old Cargo.toml. However, as far back as 2016 cargo was mainta

There's a third rule set where switching always makes you lose: Guest selects a door. If it has a goat behind it, the host opens that door and says "you lose". If the guest initially picks the car, then the host opens a diffe

Yeah, but if you decided to pay nurses/firefighters the same salary for putting in half the hours, you'd have to hire twice as many to cover the same shifts. Net result is your labor costs would double.

Oh, it would probably be lethal. But luckily Russell claims the teapot is in a stable solar orbit between Earth and Mars, so we should be fine for now.

Crater doesn't just run builds! It also compiles and runs unit tests to look for regressions between compiler versions. When I last looked the tool grabbed every library on crates.io and every repository on GitHub with Rust code, but t

Seems it went from $100B to $29B to $250B with tons of changes to the receipt list along the way. Does anyone have a clear answer of the spending breakdown now? The news articles I see seem to be rather vague on that part

The concern with these sorts of strategies is that you might discover the problem quickly . Say for instance if the stock you shorted doubles in value and you lose all your money. Even if there's only a small probability of that happe

Not sure I follow your first comment. Why would deleting a fake account [edit: without also telling its followers] solve the issue? Most people probably would never notice that the account vanished and would go on believing whatever nonsens

My recollection is they distanced themselves from gun rights cases after defending some right-wing group's right to hold an armed protest... at which one of the group members murdered a counter protestor.

Ray tracing and mesh shaders aren't supported by mobile, macOS, or by roughly 90% of desktop systems. I don't think it is a deal breaker that WebGPU isn't planning to include them in their 1.0 release. That said, I do agree t

There's a real balance though. There's a contingent on the right who think "people who talk about racism are the real racists".

Then be indignant I guess? Countries pressuring each other to do things dates back as far as the existence of countries. And it isn't like this is a broadly unpopular idea either. Most people do actually believe that multinational corp

If the US branch bought a widget for $90 and sold it for $100, they'd pay tax only on the $10 of profit. If it actually cost the Irish branch $90 to make those widgets then that would be entirely fair and the right way to assign the ta
