All planets and moons hang on to their gasses through gravity. I would think our understanding of solar system formations and solar winds makes the likelihood of lots of helium being in the outer system being quite high. The temperature is

You can cherry pick all you want, although I would generally agree that “top level” executables will most likely bump against lifetimes far less frequently than libraries, frameworks, modules etc. I would also generally agree that a single

I wrote pretty basic rust stuff and had to use lifetime syntax quite a bit. If you are just forcing deep copies all the time, you might not see it often, but if you're just going to deep copy everything always, you’re probably going to

One of my criticisms of Rust is that it’s a very RSI causing language. Very heavy on reaching awkward keys. I mean, a read through the guide makes this very readable, but it doesn’t change that it looks like symbol soup and have lots of awk

As nothingburgers go, this is pretty tame and expected. You use a platform that entirely runs on a hosted back end, you’re going to have everything logged and saved. Compare that to, say, Nvidia, who sends every single titlebar value, as we

I recall seeing setting that this cloud access can be disabled, and you could just VPN to get your “local” only access back.

You’re just seeing generalized platforms with history cruft vs walled garden controlled platforms. A program built for an intel and amd cpu 30 years ago runs today. That’s not true of M series.

They also tend to dismiss off hand the exact same science that is used to find the frauds. So when science find the frauds, the methods are good. When science originally classifies, the methods are bad. Unless, of course, we are talking abo

Zig build is somewhat poorly documented currently, which can lead to some annoyance (also some other annoyances with dependency hashes), but in my experimentation: Dependencies in build.zig.zon are downloaded in to ~/.cache/zig&#x

FWIW, the creators of rust themselves distance themselves from “if it compiles, it works”, because this is obviously not true. If your definition of “works” ignores behavioural requirements, then I suppose.

Listen dude. I’m not going to argue about this: Immutability is measurably slower. Full stop. The fact that you can come up with silly, overly simplistic, non-idiomatic anecdotes showing that sometimes a compiler will prefer calculation doe

In order to flatten these to regain cache hits, a deep copy is required all the way down. There’s a reason that the fastest Haskell game engine looks like ps2 graphics on modern hardware.

You are strongly underestimating the stupidity of these people. There is a reason for the saying “a conservative would let their leaders shit in their mouth as long as they thought a liberal might have to smell it”. These people are highly

Funny how few people understand that “rights” are not fundamental. What good is a “right” that nobody observes you actually have? Rights are granted by the legal observation of said right. If your right boils down to words without observabi

Is this YouTube series also “from scratch (but not really)” Edit - it is. Not to talk down on the series. I’m sure it’s good, but it is actually “LLM with PyTorch”. Edit - I looked again and I was actually not correct. He does ultimately us

Sure: 1) immutability has performance problems: source: literally every measurement of immutable vs not data structures ever performed. Source 2: logic - copying data is slower than not copying it Source 3: cache lines: modern CPUs rely pre

The author claimed that immutability is a foundation for scalability and robustness. I reject that claim. In this comment, you simultaneously agree and disagree with me. I don’t give a shit what Joe Armstrong says about immutability because

I don’t really care what people making claims say when they make claims without evidence. ”Who” makes a claim has no bearing on its truth. Immutability is a tool, not a rule, and I am free to reject any assertion otherwise when those assert

Immutable data is not a “foundation of scalability and robustness”.

That is correct. Measurements including all vulnerabilities have memory safety ones somewhere in the ballpark of 15%. A pretty extreme minority overall. This doesn’t gel with the hive mind though, so you probably won’t see it pop up terribl

I find that you can usually safely disregard the opinion of people who state “<thing> probably doesn’t matter in practice.” Measure yourselves. Maybe it does. Maybe it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t change that this “it probably doesn’t m

Avoid directly indexing if possible. Use the collection functions and slices instead.
