If you don't mind me asking, how long (1 semester? days/week?) is the course you're taking? For me, the closest location listed on the site is a university about 3 hours away. There's not a lot of info on their page, but

I thought this post was about the book, rather than the language. The book is supposed to be up to date for Rust 2018. I suppose there's probably no need to wait for the book to catch up to the language.

I think the developers of the game No Man's Sky faced a similar lawsuit.

My parents either scoffed at the price or were unable to find the name brand version. I received a knock-off version for Christmas which, if I remember correctly, looked like a small dog sleeping in a basket. The dog was part of a lid which

Is learning OpenGL pretty much inevitable as a precursor to learning Vulkan? The main page of Khronos' beginner's guide to Vulkan has a quote which says "emphatically... NO", but then the first tutorial in the list gives

Choosing to screenshot the entire page seems to be cropping off most of the right side on every site I've tried so far. Is that a known bug? It would be really useful otherwise.

I probably have a bad impression of how much effort is required to maintain packages for various distributions, then. My only remaining point is that AppImage is supported by all of the distributions they support, as well as a few they don&

I am not a Linux guru, so I might have the wrong impression about how much effort is really needed. But I don't think it's just "a Debian or an Arch package". Having a .deb and .rpm gets you most distributions. Arch uses

Distribution is important -- I can't financially support the program if I can't install it on my computer. However, my money can only support a finite amount of effort. Every bit spent on packaging is taken away from improving the

Ohh, that's cool. I guess I'm kind of burnt out on scrolling, though. Sometimes I wonder how many more spins the hardware in my mouse can take. For what it's worth, which is very little, if the chair/painting movements w

That seems like a ton of effort for them to keep up with, though. Would it not be easier to make an appimage? I use a smaller Linux distribution. I checked the package manager, and there is no Sublime text package. It is available as a &quo

I viewed this on a desktop rather than a phone. The PgDn key worked pretty well, though the text didn't always end up in the same vertical position. Sometimes I had to hit the down arrow key a few times afterwards. Wouldn't a &quo

I think this site was on HN a few days/weeks ago: https://www.1001pallets.com/pallet-safety/ I checked a few of the pallets where I work; they're heat treated, no chemical treatment. But! While I'd feel

I thought it would be cool if you could pre-order one through a local library. Here, at least, getting a library card requires visiting in person, so scalpers would have trouble getting multiple unless the librarian were in on it. I don&#x2

Huh... Bots are making it difficult to purchase a gpu, so the solution is for everyone to bot. But presumably a retailer would block you if you constantly pinged their site, so the solution is to pay someone else $99/month to bot for y

There's a sliver of hope that the mining cards will be reusable as general purpose gpus by having the card stream its output to an integrated gpu. I first heard about using the p106-p90 cards on Windows with a modified driver via a LTT

First, the person who brought the game spends an hour reading the rule book. Finally, someone finds a 10-minute video on youtube where the creator of the game walks you through a few rounds of the game. That was my experience with Mice and

I was going to mention the smell of opening a booster pack of trading cards! It was probably the same smell as opening a new video game and taking out the instruction booklet (back when they still printed those).

I worked at an apple orchard one year and really liked the Northern Spy apples they grew. I was told they were pie apples, but I never tried baking them.

The video on this page reminds me so much of Terraria. I think I even saw rocket boots at a few points.

Can weave do other languages? It looks like all of the blocks begin with the language name, but I only see julia in the screenshots.

I stumbled a few times while reading binary data from a file in a 1-based language while I was using a hex editor (0-based) to view the same file. I don't think it proves one way is better than the other, but I suspect it's the co

I've been looking on and off for a pair of ANC earmuffs for factory work, but reports that some people experience headaches combined with the pretty high price have caused me to keep putting off the purchase.

This was interesting. I've had some limited experience with pallets. I've found the "whitewood" pallets to be surprisingly fragile, and the blue pallets to be ridiculously heavy.

Sorry for the late reply -- this is my weekend this week! I remember reading that the packets were encrypted using blowfish and compressed using a custom Huffman table. There's a lot of bit-packing in the game's packets, so I init

I played a game that implemented something like this. A player could have 32 buffs simultaneously, and on release there were fewer than 255 unique buffs. The id for each buff was stored in one byte and was bundled along with all of the othe

I didn't know fountain pens still existed until two years ago. I bought a Pilot Metropolitan and I've found it to be an improvement. However, I still have not seen another in the wild. Err, "an improvement" probably need

I have a fine Pilot Metropolitan and went looking for a Medium tip to try it out. Unfortunately, they don't sell the tips separately, but I did find a list of Pilot pens which are said to have compatible tips: Plumix, Pluminix, Prera,
