Varargs with the same type is just a list. In many languages that could require an extra allocation, but in Rust that can just be a slice or maybe a an array with a const generic for it's size if you want to pass ownership. Varargs her

I see this largely as a language failure. Alot of popular languages make it really easy to write code, but hard to maintain it . It's one of the reasons I like Rust so much,even for relatively high level code. It has one of the srictes

33% of the market cap changing hands each day sounds incredibly high. How does that happen?

I don't get how you you arrived at any implied lack of intelligence. Musk himself has repeatedly said that Starlink is a risky bet, and that satellite network operators usually go bankrupt. Taking risks does not imply lack of intellige

You should be careful about being too glad. Starlink is a money sink and won't even have positive cash flow for many years. SpaceX has used Starlink as a driver for investment rounds and is regularly raising money. Considering the expe

Helm still saves you an incredible amount of work for setting up all the third party services. If your team is big enough you can just write your own configs, but that takes a lot of time and often quite a bit of knowledge about the relevan

The cloud providers can work with independent operators that run their cloud solutions in Europe. Basically an on-premise setup, just on a huge scale. Microsoft initially did this for Azure, I believe. Certainly will cause a lot of friction

IANAL, but "we use our own metric" doesn't sound like an excuse for publishing numbers to shareholders that aren't a best effort estimation based on reasonable methods. If the methods were reasonable is of course possibl

Not my field of work, but I'm curious. From what I'm hearing Unreal is establishing a big lead over the competition with things like Lumen, face model generation (Metahuman?), asset libraries, ML assisted images/video to mo

Alternative view: Apple has spent many years happily profiting from cheap Chinese manufacturing, labor, electrial engineering expertise and supply chains to the point where they are now completely beholden to a foreign country. A country w

Writing high quality ergonomic API bindings is a surprising amount of work, especially in statically typed languages. Every API has its quirks, sometimes returns different data, has edge cases for certain calls, has different error reportin

Hopefully wasm will take off and a high quality wasm runtime (with JIT) will be pre-installed on every system, but we'll see if that happens.

Microsoft is also good at upselling Azure through existing customer relationships, and almost every company is a Microsoft customer. Sales also just isn't in Googles DNA. It's an uphill battle for Google.

In a sense Europe isn't really behind, there is lots of know how, research and small-ish companies in the software and hardware space. There is no Google or Apple or Microsoft though, and accordingly a lot of the network effects and in

That's complete nonsense. This regulation increases freedom for everyone (users and businesses), except for large platform operators. You as a user are free to continue exactly as you were, and if you are a business that is not Apple o

Regulators have learned from GDPR. Enforcement for the large gatekeepers is with the commission,and they have a good amount of tools to enforce compliance. I'm sure A/G will try to drag it out, but it won't be years.

You are free to not use any app that doesn't want to submit to a 30%/20% Apple tax. No one is forcing you to play Epic games. But Apple will probably cut down their rates significantly so most companies stick with the app store. E

You don't need to go straight to simdjson et al, something like Rust serde which desierializes to typed structs with data bllike strings borrowed from the input can be very fast.
