You can specify the capacity on creation: Vec::with_capacity(foo) There are also alternative vector like types for different use cases, and you can roll your own.

I really enjoy some of the optimization details like when the memory overhead of Option<> can be elided completely. Other languages with Options will actually toss data up on the heap that doesn't need to be because it is in a Op

This depends on what one thinks of as build quality. If it is a certain way things look and feels that evoke emotions of quality and power, then yes, Apple's build quality is better. But if you appreciate that things are engineered in

32 is thin only if you have highly specialized workload. Its enough for all games and even pretty hardcore software development.

yes, but throughput is rarely a bottleneck for consumer grade cpus. Maybe on the 16 core ryzens you could get some benefit for select workloads

I don't think Go's documentation is better than Rust, Go is just a lot simpler than Rust. Especially if you are a programmer with a background in any of the C-ish syntax languages (C,C++, javascript, Java, C#, etc), its just reall

driving a non plug in hybrid to maximize electric use is not the goal, the goal is to minimize fuel use. The former is at odds with the latter.

harshness of aluminum is mostly mythological and based on design of some early aluminum frames due to them being noisy. also 99.9% of compliance comes from tires. people reliably fail to detect frame differences in blind studies as well. e

What workload do you do that 16GB isn't enough? Compiling large database backed .NET projects and Rust projects and AAA gaming all fit fine in 16GB

Since the 1950s battery energy density has improved by orders of magnitude, it has been happening and is still happening. Hasn’t stopped these incessant cynical takes though.

In part the optimum algorithm changes as hardware changes. In the 1980s for instance the CPU was about as fast as a ram access. Today the CPU is on the order of 200 times quicker than a RAM access, which means algorithms need to be designe

When our kids were little it was something I worried about a lot because I can absolutely imagine myself doing it. I would never support punishing a parent further because of an accident. There but for random chance goes any of us. (or at

Framework laptop. I think the concerns about it being beta are unfounded, the few quirks it has are also had by Lenovo/Dell etc but you don’t have a discerning userbase talking about a single model so much.

The two most recent large US mars rovers, and James Webb all seemed way too complex to ever work. All 3 worked! Shows what I know.

The cynicism for battery teach research is misplaced. In our lifetimes we have seen real enormous strides in battery technology actually go into production. LFP batteries are now in actual Teslas, provider a cheaper/safer/simple

In general in Rust game engine culture right now there is a strong trend towards using entity component system based design. Sometimes this is a definite good thing, for certain kinds of games it can have benefits both for performance and

To temper your enthusiasm some: They cannot fling things to orbit, they can fling things very fast but a (smaller) rocket is still needed to finish getting to orbit. and G Forces are extreme so this is only suitable for payloads that don&#x

Yes the idea is perfectly sensible, the issue is that such schemes are probably a practical impossibility for humans to implement and police in a such a way that we achieve the goals or reducing co2 output, rather than just achieving a way

It is commonly said that on the new M1 macs, that the ram is on the chip, it is not. It is on the same substrate, but its just normal (fast) dram chips soldered on nearby.

and Godot is actually free, but all of these are very general purpose, there is a lot of value in very specific engines for specific types of games, and we may see more of that in the future I think.

Is the current push back against coding tests in job hiring perhaps similar to this push back against the SAT?

I see Rust with a lot of potential, especially if/when it moves into domains like aerospace and other control of critical physical hardware. These are places where a reduction of bugs saves lives and/or huge amounts of money. Mac
