I suspect this isn’t the case with an OLED, since it wouldn’t even emit any blue light in the first place if those pixels aren’t on. However, a typical laptop / monitor will have a white backlight that then gets blocked. Often there’s

This can be good or bad depending on how it’s done. If the new code addresses the same issues as the old code more succinctly, or if it can cut out some unused code that the original solution had, then it can be a net improvement. Eg refact

First thing I thought of is this: https://xkcd.com/1235/ I haven’t ever heard of a corresponding increase in UFO videos. It’s awfully convenient none of these suspected aliens buzz crowds full of people with 4k60Hz&#x2

I’ve been favoring fish, protein, and veggies for some time, and trying to prefer lean meat, and I’m surprised at how flabby just one greasy meal or large soft drink will make me feel. I can’t really explain it, but it’s like once my body b

I can’t read the article, it’s behind a paywall. It depends a lot on what the work is. If I’m talking to people in different departments about various issues, I find I can still pull a full day. Even coding, I can still be productive if it’

Rust is less complicated than C++, but it is more complicated than Go. However I’m a big proponent of minimizing complexity wherever possible - language overhead should not become an obstacle to programmer time. The nice thing about Rust is

That doesn’t necessarily create jobs or trickle down. If billionaire A buys stock in billionaire B’s company that provides an automated web service, money may change hands but the workers may not see any difference in salary. Maybe they nee

The article doesn’t present an alternative that they should have used if they had spent more time. Are you referring to something specific?

I don’t think this is inherent to Boomers so much as the general reaction of people who have chosen to live someplace specifically because it has a small town feel. Instead of finding new ways to cram people into smaller spaces, we should b

You could make the same argument about mounting disks. You revoke the permissions of the people who abuse those resources, and you don’t expose them to the outside world at large completely unprotected.

I’m comfortable with C/++ and Java, to a greater extent than a lot of people I’ve worked with. There are still things in Rust that are papercuts: * The need to put :: before <> in expressions for generic parameters, but not in ty

I worked for a few years at a company whose exclusive product line was office-oriented telepresence robots, so I probably have a different perspective than most people here. The model in the article is from a company that was medical-orient

Yeah, I specifically avoid using Atlassian as much as I can because of how tedious it is to wait ~6 seconds for every UI action to complete.

Very impressive. Is this compatible with any WASM-compliant language, or just the ones listed? EG AssemblyScript: https://github.com/AssemblyScript/assemblyscript I'm looking forward to seeing some benchmarks comp

There are a few automotated solutions (eg corrode, c2rust, etc) that others will undoubtedly mention. These should help with (b). You can use bindgen to generate Rust bindings for a C library given a header file. You can use cheddar to gene

Why not move the version specifier from Cargo.toml to the extern statement ala Qml? import QtQuick 2.7 This has multiple benefits: * You only need to go to up to 1 file to add an import * Tools like cargo-script don't need spe

Nightly rust can use this async / await crate, but it will likely be deprecated once language support is available (later this year iirc) https://github.com/alexcrichton/futures-await/blob/master/RE.

I disagree. Expressing an opinion via voting (in the US) means nothing unless more than half the people who vote agree with the person. It's not directly depriving anyone of anything, and if they're in the minority, their vote doe

The issue with this perspective is that corporations generally are not chartered such that they provide their employees with a voice in its executive actions. There’s also a level of (soft) coercion in that employees’ jobs are on the line.
