When you call to_owned, it creates a Vec<u8>. This must then be truncated due to the call to into_boxed_slice. The documentation says this could potentially mean a re-allocation depending on the allocator. When this happens the old al

That's an interesting thought. In high school I met many girls that were actually interested in informatics but had a hard time keeping up and thus did not pursue a career in tech. The women who did end up studying with me were either:

It took me almost half a year to figure out that Firefox was missing the minimize/maximize button because Gnome by default hides them. And I only figured out after having to install Gnome Tweak tool because I moved to Gnome temporarily

This sounds more like high school than a workplace. You're really not at fault here. But I also understand how real life work can kill passion. It is why I went to pursue computer science instead of art. Don't let others take your

YouTube does not provide the same value as it used to and therefore paying for it seems only to block ads. These days I rarely find new content creators and content creators are probably struggling even more. The recommendation algorithm is

Whenever a new device needs to be setup for my parents, I just install whatever I use (Firefox in this case). Then I show them the things they need on a day by day basis. The problem are people who did grow up with tech. They will say thing

I think current Hollywood is a prime example of doing objectively bad art especially live action movies. They ignore the source material to make it fit their political agenda, which has always been a thing, but it becomes problematic when i

Unlike Reddit, most of Meta's apps are commonly used on mobile. Furthermore, all the apps you listed actually bring long term value in the form of real life social and business relationships. Emotionally and economically Reddit has not

Every headset I have seen looks really unfashionable. Even the Vision Pro looks kind of bad. It is too bulky for the relaxing atmosphere Apple was going for in its adverts. And too rounded to appear more edgy. It is not commiting to anythin

When I was in high school, they installed the first generation of smart boards. The resolution and quality of pen input was quite mediocre. But it solved an actual severe problem for teachers and students. Back then we used sponges to clean

To a certain degree it is true. More and more people know how photoshopped influencer posts are. Sadly, that is not the majority and even if they knew, they would not care. Those who want to oppress will shame others to exercise power, whic

That is a depressing view on aging. At some point kids becomes adults and can support themselves and if they were taught any form of responsibility, they will support their parents. These days my parents hang out with their friends or go on
