Why aren't those 3 examples of the same characters having different syntactic meaning valid?

The only calls to change the lifetime syntax have been coming from "outside the house". Rust developers are fine using the ' as the lifetime sigil and there are no calls from within the Rust community to change it. Adding a

The std::io error type is defined roughly as: type Result<T> = std::result::Result<T, io::Error>; So it's actually fine, since we're specifying it's an IO result. This is a fairly common pattern.

Private trackers have incentives to seed poorly-seeded torrents, like discounted/free leeching or double seeding credits. Although I agree with the general sentiment.

It feels like antitrust law needs an update now that we have computers that let us move the collusion one degree away fairly easily. It's still price fixing even if you don't know the names of the parties you're collaboratin

They don't need to. Recompilation techniques like Rosetta2 are well understood now and they can add extensions to RISC-V processors that aid in reimplementing x86 behavior on top of RISC-V.

Have been working on a protocol library [1] meant to be a substitute for "JSON-RPC over HTTP/WebSocket". Part of the goal is to more natively support byte-oriented data structures and reduce overheads. It supports a bidirec

GDScript does have pretty good integration with the engine's internal data models, especially when it comes to persistence. But Godot does also have first-class C# support thanks to the Microsoft grant and the community-made Rust gdext

I would go for higher than 16K. I believe BitTorrent's default minimum chunk size is 64K, for example. It really depends on the use case in question though, if you're doing random writes then larger chunk sizes quickly waste a t

I wonder if they'd do better if there was the context that it's in a thread titled "Adding 16 kb page size to Android"? The "analyzing" interpretation is plausible if you don't know what 16k pages, kernel

The solution to traffic is to build better, more efficient transit infrastructure that doesn't involve everyone driving their own giant metal boxes everywhere when for most trips they just don't need to.

Can universities just do a buy-out of Elsevier and wind it down? Surely they really have the upper hand here.

This is interesting, but > allowing you to own everything - unlike Roblox, Unreal/Fortnite, and Unity. makes me worried it's not in the same spirit that GMod is in. Specifically the use of the word "own" there.

Yeah that analogy is fairly poor. You have to think about it in terms of some probability distribution that each step of the model is sampling from. Out of the distribution of all text, find the top n values for the next token that maximi

Network effects are just so strong. Once a particular option has ingrained itself for a particular use-case they can make it extremely difficult for any alternative to become viable even if it's technologically superior. Just look at
