<pre> tags are not meant for block quotes. HTML has a <blockquote> tag instead. <pre> tags force mobile users to read in snippets as they scroll horizontally along the entire line. If you want your block quotes to use a mo

Exactly, it is about not having to "paw". I own a 2016 MBP and even with the massive trackpad I end up having to swipe and reposition at least a couple times for big movements, unless I set the sensitivity to a level that makes pr

Hacker News doesn't support Markdown comments like Reddit. There are a couple Markdown-like features like italics, but that's it.

Thanks! I looked through the FLAC spec a while ago and I thought it looked familiar.

Hey carols10cents and/or steveklabnik, what project was the example code in the Performance section (13.4) taken from? I'm interested in Rust and audio and especially both of them combined.

No, because error variables have extremely limited scope and the length of a variable name should be proportional to its scope.

I've seen very little discussion here of the battery issues with the new MBP, which in my opinion is the most offensive example of Apple's decline in quality. Lucky users are reporting 9 hour battery life, while others are getting

Okay. In my experience "the address of x" is taken to be synonymous with "&x", but I suppose that's a pedantic difference.

I get what you mean by "least bad". I guess I'm wary of all configuration formats. Would plain old INI have been an option or is it too poorly specified?

The printf commands say "the address of..." but proceed to print out the value, not address.

I think Parrish misunderstands a key component of the hacker ethic, which is that the "richness of the world" is overrated and the structured logic of computer systems is something we should strive for.

Open sourcing a client is pretty useless when the bulk of the logic happens inside a company's server somewhere.

Your haughty attitude toward privacy is really chilling. If Uber hasn't received a NSL [1] I would be astounded, and your employer doesn't have a great track record [2]. Please think hard about the world you are helping to create.

You seem to know a lot about US SIGINT. Please excuse my assumption. Let me guess: your actual employer and title are too important for the plebeians to know?

There were two factors that made What special. The first factor was its unparalleled library of music (some of which was only available on What). This is lost forever, though the data is still distributed worldwide, and a lot of it will pro

Thanks. Come to think of it, I remember seeing a series of deep learning examples that were trained on raw data and were able to create well-formed TeX, XML, and other formats, so it makes sense that the same principle would apply to image

As someone who is woefully uninformed about ML and CV: in a case like this, is the computer simply given the bitmap/vector graphic and left to learn how to interpret the data as lines and shapes? Or is there some preprocessing done to

You've failed to argue your point completely. All you can say is that your infringements of the Constitution are very, very important, and you know this because you yourself are very, very important. Acknowledging that you've comm

Another solution I hadn't considered is to simply impl std::convert::From<SomeError> for your custom error type for each SomeError that might be encountered.

Awesome, thanks. Does returning boxed errors have a performance impact?
116.
by stirner 10y ago
It seems like a fairly common case for a Rust function to encounter multiple types of error when it runs. My only solution to this is to return a custom error type, but this means manually matching rather than using something like try! or ?

NVIDIA could release documentation on their hardware that would make it easier for Nouveau developers to do their work, but they don't. Nobody is asking for free labor on a low-marketshare OS.

I am amazed that a professor would be so surprised by a student using the word "hence". Most professors I've had would probably have taken off points for using it over a simpler alternative like "therefore" or just

Doesn't all lossy compression use models of human sensory processing to determine which information is important?
