They are not on the fence about Rust. They are on the fence about JPEG-XL when it entails a major increase in attack surface due to the current implementation being in C++.

Another aspect is that there is a large span in the amount of water you can let the rice absorb. A 1:1 ratio of water to rice (not accounting for evaporation) is all you need to cook rice no matter if it's short grain or long grain, bu

The fixed ratio doesn't scale all that well, because some of the water is absorbed by the rice and some just evaporates. Even with a lid on water still evaporates. The evaporation portion depends on the type of pot, how long you cook a

There are knobs on the f and j key so you can find the home row without looking. Similarly, physical buttons in a car can be shaped in such a way that they allow for feeling your position.

There are so many behaviors that fit that description that few would count as addiction. For example eating sweets or junk food, procrastinating, not drinking enough.

I have some experience with a German shorthand style (DEK) and it is more important to write clearly. Shorthand removes most of the redundant information that is present in regular alphabets and words. With regular writing, a small error so

There are some related studies on the effect of wind turbines on storms and how wind turbines could protect against hurricanes by sapping a portion of their energy. While the answer is that they could, the amount of turbines required for th

I think op goes too far by including trailing slashes, but being liberal in what you accept (Postel's law) is a bad idea as the last few decades of the web have shown. Once you accept things, you are locked into supporting them forever

No, because it requires an &Vec<_> and that doesn't implement Default and for good reason. Just ask yourself, where would the default empty vec live so that you could create a reference to it. When using unwrap_or(&vec![]

It's not an assumption, √x is defined to be the positive square root (the principal square root). The negative one is -√x.

It's not inadequate. Brightness diminishes for two reasons. One is absorption from cosmic dust (not that big of a factor), the other is that the object appears smaller, but the brightness per unit solid angle from the object does not d

That definition of what is valid or not depends on the type of checker. When you're talking about Rust's borrow checker, then you can take any property that it checks for, such as "there are no aliasing mutable references&quo

This information shouldn't be hidden in some document, it should be one of the first things they tell you about in their README and through their versioning (0.1 and 0.2 instead of 1.0 and 2.0).

The README.md isn't part of the rust code, so it's not checked by this unless you use tools to generate your README from doc comments like https://github.com/livioribeiro/cargo-readme .

restrict is so rarely used that clang has had open code generation bugs for years. Rust would like to use its non-aliasing guarantees to generate better code, but clang is unable to reliably generate correct code. So even if you manage to r
