I did a lot of automation at my last job, which was closer to engineering in the classical sense than engineering in the software sense. The automation mostly amounted to web scraping and interacting with local systems, with a generous amou

Learning Rust really ruined C# for me. The explicitness saves you from so much defensive programming.

The problem of offices is not when we spend time in them but rather that we spend time in them at all. What a banal hell it is we have consented to endure compared to the comforts of our homes or of any space actually designed for the welln

If your key is a hash of the code and its dependencies, for a given toolchain and target, then any change to the code, its dependencies, the toolchain or target will result in a new key unique to that configuration. Though I am not familiar

I hadn't heard of ATS before, and I think that I mistook your using it as an example of "more isn't always better" and thought you were suggesting it as an actual alternative. I'm looking for the next thing I want t

Rust's real superpower is its tooling. Cargo handles package management, building, testing, documentation, and publishing. The compiler's errors explain what went wrong and where it happened. Installing the toolchain with rustup i

That C++ already has many implementations of sparse sets seems to be a point in favor of sparse sets rather than a point against Rust, especially given that C++ doesn't need them the same way Rust does.

When I say they prioritize social stability, I mean that they won't stop producing cars regardless of how little economic sense it makes because they need to keep people employed to stave of massive civil unrest. And global competitive

We must be working from different definitions of efficient. Yes, the CCP can say jump and expect their corporations to do so, but when everyone in a modern economy jumps at the same time, massive oversupply is the result. More market-based

Any examination that isn't done in person on general course material (nothing an LLM could prepare for you) is just stubborn refusal to protect students from themselves in an age where anything else can be faked. Graded homework and ta

No, it would not. Even conversions using "as" are discouraged in favor of conversion traits such as From and TryFrom. Rust's goals of being explicit and correct are at odds with people wanting things to be immediately simple

On the contrary, I find indices to be the most natural way to represent anything that resembles a graph in Rust. They allow you to sidestep the usual issues that arise with ownership and borrowing, particularly with mutability, by handing o

It's also a bivector in 3D GA, no need for linear algebra.

You make it sound as though multivectors being invertible is a special case, when the opposite is true. In 2D and 3D GA, every non-zero k-vector and versor has an inverse. In PGA, every non-zero, non-ideal plane, line, and point, and versor

The problem with car-dependent cities is that they are very spread out. Why does public transit suck and why don't many people use the bike lanes? Because everything is far away. We've built our cities this way. Our tax system enc

"There's no evidence of that" often means that there's no money to be made in studying that thing: or, alternatively, that there's a lot of money being made and nobody wants to look for inconvenient answers.

Selection is acting on viruses as well. A virus that makes you very ill won't spread as well as one that makes you a little ill because there are only so many people you can infect while bedridden, and the trend among dominant strains
