Clippy has some checks for naming convention beyond what rustc and rustfmt does. Not nearly as much as https://github.com/brson/rust-api-guidelines , but the wrong_self_convention check helped me make sense of the as&#x

If you're using a configurable logging library like logback for Java, it is fairly easy to have your application support both structured logging directly to Elasticsearch, and logging a more human readable format to disk or stderr for

It hasn't happened for mobiles or laptops, and I suspect similar reasons will prevent it from happening for cars. As long as battery life, size and weight are all important to the buyers, manufacturers would rather put in the extra cus

It already is as convenient to pirate Netflix videos as it is to view them on Netflix. You'll get a better selection, with a better UI, and often higher quality encodes. I still keep a Netflix subscription, because I want to pay for

NaiveHasher (declared as "struct NaiveHasher(u64);") is a tuple with one 64-bit field named "0". (Tuple fields are implitly named as 0, 1, 2 ...) It implements a very simple hashing function for 64-bit numbers, each hash

I read the section on sequential numbers as just illustrating a worst-case scenario of the case that could happen with either a naive hasher or malicious input. As far as I can see all the graphs but one use random numbers, so hashing won&#

That bias graph is made assuming you are picking numbers between 0 and 32768. With a 64-bit hash the bias is negligible. With a 32-bit hash I suppose you could argue significance around 100 million items. I think the text is clear that the
