Disabling that option makes the `%SystemRoot%\system32\GigabyteUpdateService.exe` binary mentioned by the original article stop appearing, so it seems so.

There's even been experiments with binding futures to glib or various GUI event loops!

"system" here is intended to refer to the application using tokio, i.e. if you got rid of tokio and did everything by hand you wouldn't be able to make your application faster.

Thanks for the details! > the core protocol objects in quinn that directly link to specific socket and address and even event loop reactor objects - and these objects strictly in Rust to boot. This isn't accurate. The core protocol

It's worth emphasizing that QUIC is more general than a new transport for HTTP; it has wide ranging applications, due to being far more versatile than TCP.

All Rust programs call out to platform-dependent unsafe code sooner or later in the form of the standard library. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to allocate memory or do any I/O whatsoever. Sometimes the standard library doesn&#x

The current draft encourages, but does not require, QUIC implementations to employ path MTU discovery along those lines; see https://quicwg.org/base-drafts/draft-ietf-quic-transport.htm... for details. Quinn doesn&#x27

> But for C/C++ projects I would just compile in an Ubuntu container as well. Setting up a reproducible build environment with nix-shell is much more convenient than screwing around with containers.

Even if you're writing your own engine from scratch, VR runtimes provide orientation information directly to the engine as a 4x4 transform matrix. They would have to ignore all the documentation and go far out of their way to somehow r

> There is no support for datagrams, just datastreams. Datagrams can be easily and effectively encoded as discrete short-lived streams. If you need streams of datagrams, you can encode your own header to do that. I see no reason why this

Those are probably supported version numbers.

Do you want GNU extensions? Use the latter. Otherwise, use the former.

One of Rust's selling points is literally that it has very easy zero-overhead C interop.

Who needs type systems, anyway? Or any datatypes but strings, for that matter!

A type system for Nix would be pretty neat, but a lot of unfortunate design decisions were made in the absence of one that may make this a difficult project.

It should be noted that rooms are not "on" a homeserver the way IRC channels are on a network. The server is just a convenient reference point. If it goes down, the room still exists and can still be used, and even given a new nam

That's a problem Wikipedia has in general; improvements to Wikipedia's botany coverage are not going to meaningfully change it one way or the another.

You can compromise on turing-completeness, too. Idris, for example, lets the programmer decide whether a given definition should be required to provably terminate or not.

So if I use LaTeX and it gives me the results I want and I don't find myself spending inordinate amounts of time tweaking things, does that make me an intermediate user? I guess I had better stop learning.
