I'm reminded of the SMBC comic https://www.smbc-comics.com/?id=2722 which resonated with me. If it takes ~7 years to master something, you should dedicate yourself to becoming good at it. Or at least you don't hav

As others have said, Rust's ownership model prevents data races, as it can prove that references to mutable data can only be created if there are no other references to that data. Safe Rust also prevents use-after-free, double-free, an

Mathologer has a great video covering this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCj3qfQ68m0 Visualizes a proof and talks about special cases and a little of the history.

In terms of the math: the table legs are assumed to be equal length, and the wobble is caused by variations of the surface. Specifically the feet of the table are in the same plane. So you could rotate your mathematical table until all f

Looks good. One note about the video: you mention you recently watched a good video on 1-bit sound, and suggest it's worth a watch, but it doesn't appear to be linked-to in the description.

What makes you think it's not compressed? (or that the data is stored as XML?) There's very sophisticated compression systems throughout each experiment's data acquisition pipelines. For example this paper[1] describes the AL

That seems to be the sentiment here. I'll take it into consideration. Thanks.

For the Rust crate, there is already an arbitrary limit (defaults to 100 digits) for "unbounded operations" like square_root, inverting, division. That's a compile time constant. And there's a Context object for runtime-

I think that's the use-case for the rust_decimal crate, which is a 96-bit floating number (~28 decimal digits) which is safer and faster than the bigdecimal crate (which at its heart is a Vec<u64>, unbounded, and geared more for

This isn't about parsing so much as letting the users do "dangerous" math operations. The obvious one is diving by zero, but when the library offers arbitrary precision, addition becomes dangerous with regard to allocating al

I was attempting to solve this very problem in the Rust BigDecimal crate this weekend. Is it better to just let it crash with an out of memory error, or have a compile-time constant limit (I was thinking ~8 billion digits) and panic if any

I'd bet they have very similar performance-metrics, but the yield syntax is more extensible (i.e. you're not limited to one expression) and debug-able (you can put breakpoints within the function). Also the name and the generator

I've had a similarly frustrating time trying to understand and wrangle the pyproject.toml builder system, (egg-layer? wheel-roller? cheese-monger?) One thing the author might want to try is writing their own "build-backend".

I think dekhn means the discussions and attempts at removing the GIL before this current PEP. Here's Guido's thoughts on it from 2007: https://www.artima.com/weblogs/viewpost.jsp?thread=214235 and that mentio

There's also the shelve[0] module which allows storing any pickleable object in a persistent key-value store, not just string/bytes. I've found it's very handy for caching while developing scripts which query remote reso

Yes, z-axis is the direction of the tape's "thickness" so electricity passes only from the thing stuck to the top to the thing stuck to the bottom (directly through the tape) without shorting the rest of the contacts. I misre

It's conductive only in the z-axis. So you can, for example, tape components to your circuitboard instead of having to solder tiny pieces.
