I think this mindset is largely harmful to the indigenous population of New Zealand, who will become increasingly margenalized in their home country.

Fantastic! Knowing a little bit about the law can really help you out in modern life (one could say unfortunately).

It's pretty easy to speed up the process by using multi threaded gpu code.

Open Source is not Free software, nor are most of the projects on GitHub intended for anyone to use. Consider how well documented projects under the GNU banner are. Im sure this is a problem for some projects, but free software is not suffe

I would not call this a hack. A lot of systems are structured this way.

When ever you would need to box a trait object in Rust Go automatically performs a heap allocation that is garbaged collected at some point. A bit more is explained here https://research.swtch.com/interfaces Basically there

Consider how interfaces work and how you would have to implement them. Rust may have a more complicated type system and I suppose enums are more complicated in Rust, but the things I value as simple are more simple in Rust than Go.

I'm talking about the mean distance in expectations between a program and the compiled output. I don't think Modula-3 is much more complicated or even moderately more complicated. I think it's all pedantry of personal definit

Not necessarily large, but it factors into the mean complexity cost.

I suppose it's the difference between the computational model presented by the language verses the computational model presented by the computer. A combination of how many components require some runtime environment to exist and how ma

It's definitely simpler than most other systems languages in what it gives you access too. Go, D, C++, C# are all far more complicated than Rust is. I would argue Modula-3 is not as simple because it contains a garbage collector - thus

A few years ago I was a C evangelist. C++ was and more so now is a fine language with a lot of features I want. But Rust has that simplicity in a systems language that I crave that lets me do my own thing. That elegence. It's my favou

When the program exits memory will be reclaimed by the kernel. Memory leaks aren't horrible if they don't appear in loops or recursive functions (that is to say the leaked allocations do not grow with the uptime of the program).

Probably spatial partitioning, although who knows. These things are suitable for theoretics. One must find the best solution.

"not that bad" is still something that "I don't want to deal with" when I'm making a game. Get rid of GC pauses and let me allocate memory.

I personally never checked the fps when playing Minecraft but Minecraft was not extremely computationally intensive. Despite that they still needed to port it to a non GC language to get it running on phones

GC is the killer of hard real time constraints

I can't say whether it's good or bad but I definitely can say I don't want to live in a world like that.

For 1., I don't think reversible computing relates to finding inverse functions of algorithms but rather considering how it might be possible reversing the operations while retaining whatever memory is required to reverse irreversible

I wouldn't say BotW is the same on the switch, the graphics are much more pleasing on the switch.

I'm not saying you don't have big issues if you drive drunk but that statement is obvious and does nothing to solve the problem. No one is going to start accepting drunk drivers as good people. But maybe we can understand why peop

Your comment just isn't very constructive. Everyone knows that driving drunk is moral reprehensible. That's not the point. I'm sorry for your loss but I could just as easily say something along the lines of "Driving in

If this is implemented as an in-store pickup location with a little terminal that allows you to buy items with cash anonymously, I'd love the concept.
