qgrep maintains some metadata ("compressed representation of the entire searchable codebase") and ripgrep does not (as far as I know). It does't appear to be benchmarking the same thing, unless I am missing something. Beside

I have written non-trivial code in Go and Rust. My situation is C++ dev -> Go -> Rust -> Go (current day job). The shifts have been due to various circumstances on my day job. The thing is when I moved back from Rust to Go, I had f

As far as I understand, formal verification does not certify the implementation even though the algorithms used are sound.

https://www.sqlite.org/testing.html The testing each release goes through is quite impressive. I bet more time is spent on testing (or writing tests) than actually developing the features.

Do you have enough resources (and permissions) to run VirtualBox? That way you can run a VM and get complete control. You can do things inside the VM and anti-virus will not be in the picture. I do this in my case but for different reasons

What are humanity's problem exactly? Every era of humans had different list of problems. Problems today (climate change, nuclear weapons, etc) are very different than say 1000-1500 years ago. Technology definitely solves lot of problem

In case of FFI, if C & Rust are using the same allocator (say the system allocator), does it mean that memory allocated by C can be freed by Rust and vice-versa?

An example: So suppose you have the following pseudo code: x = f() In other languages you start using 'x' straight away. You can call member functions on it, compare it, etc. In Rust if x happens to be of type Option or R

For some time the dominant error handling way was 'error-chain' crate and the comment was made in that context. Now there is a failure crate https://github.com/withoutboats/failure . It is an improvement, but

I have written non-trivial code in Rust and Go. The thing about Rust is that it needs a bit of perseverance and experience of writing a bit of non-trivial code in Rust to really appreciate it. Writing tutorial like code won't cut it. L

I agree that safety aspect in C++ has improved in its modern versions. But, these modern features are best practices as documented in C++ core guidelines. The issue with best practices is that it cannot be enforced. That is, lets say everyb

What I also seen is people become victim of your their own success. If you over-achieve in one appraisal cycle it is very bad for you because you have increased your base-level of performance. It is like over-achieving sales target. I have

This is somewhat analogous to film industry, isn't it? It attracts lot of potential actors. Lot of stories about their struggles and how unforgiving the industry can be. All they see are super-famous and super-rich actors and they all

I cannot imagine the detailed logging the engineers might have to do in such a system. When I code I wonder sometimes if I am logging unnecessary events at info level. This led to one more question. Do driverless cars have (or will have) a

As non-US citizen and I am in no position to agree or counter to what is being mentioned in the article. However, I am surprised that the baby-boomers are looked as 'us vs them' whereas the generation change is more of a Continuum

Very cool! May be such visuals can be incorporated in the official documentation. Suggestion: could also cover closures (which would demonstrate the move keyword also)
