This can be done reliably, though. You can just do if a == b { ... Just that the check will be replaced at compiletime with a constant, since the borrow-checker tracks all objects lifetimes and can use that information to optimize the check

In my experience, it is pretty rare to run much actual work on a microcontroller. Testing at effectively idle represents most of my usecases. For the times where there is a background load: RTIC has task priorities and pre-emption, so you c

Each one reads to me as: User is lead to believe X, if they don't read the fineprint. X is not the case. Instead you get Y. That sounds perfectly fitting into a consumer rights wiki to me. Also, Clinton the cat is the much beloved cat

Take the train instead. It's much better here in europe.

In that AES encrypted file. It's a shellscript that they encrypted. They decrypt it and feed the decrypted output immediately into the shell, to be sourced. That encrypted secrets file could contain any shellscript, so the aliases are

My work laptop currently has 96GB of RAM. 32 of it is allocated to the graphics portion of the APU. I have 128GB (2x) of SWAP allocated, since I sometimes do big FPGA Synthesizations, which take up 50GB of RAM on its own. Add another two ID

Many Linux display managers let you chose what to do, when a window requests focus. For me on Sway, it just turns the border red. I chose what happens after. Can recommend. I wasn't even aware of my privilege.

Weird. My android phone is 3+ years old and was not a flagship when I got it. It had a little problem with stuttering on more complex examples. It sounded like it was running out of things that can play at the same time, but scrolling was s

Have you thought about just not making the variable global and instead adding it as a parameter to the functions that actually need it? You can also create a struct, put your "global" variable inside it and then put all the functi

Rust's number types have functions like "wrapping_add" or "overflowing_add", which do not panic when overflowing and instead explicitly wrap around or return a result that must be checked. You can easily write code

My common sense tells me: "If you aren't paying for the product, you are the product." Am I the only one who finds it a bit weird, that they are hosting a the video conversion part of server with graphics cards etc. for free?

Take a look at the Intel 8052 Microcontroller. It has a part of its internal RAM that can be addressed as bytes with normal instructions, but also has special bit-instructions. You could set and clear a bit and jump if is was set or not set

My ID says D for "diverse". Equivalent to X in the US. What now?

I genuinely have no idea what to chose in the gender-screen (since neither option applies) and can't just say "You don't get to know that". Why is this needed? Edit: clarification

And what about the active hostilities towards trans people, who often can't get passports anymore (I personally know one person who has this problem) and can't update their names and gender entries anymore. What about the demolish

What they meant was probably, that you have the option to rely entirely on using git repositories for your dependencies or even just paths to other projects on your disk. You can also setup your own dependency registry and only work with th

In a no_std Rust environment, there is no allocator. There is no heap. So an allocator is needed to use things like Vectors or Strings. This is very common in embedded contexts, where you can take nothing for granted.

I really like the idea of running a watch on an sqlite table with my common cli tools. If I understand correctly, it is being re-read on every request. Does that mean that changes to the sqlite database will be visible on the next read of a

I've used Javalin as well and now I understand why it all looked pretty familiar, but I kept thinking "Javalin did x better". I can recommend Javalin as well! Having used the Spring Framework, this is a delight in comparison.

This reminds me of writing VHDL in the Sigasi IDE. You could write the description for a component, have it's syntax checked and get autocomplete while typing and once you were done, you could click a button and see an overview of your

I set up hourly borg backups instead. That resulted in me aliasing rm='rm -rf' without a worry in the world. So far, I made about ten recoveries and have never lost important data.
