Check this out: https://github.com/IntegralPilot/rustc_codegen_jvm While this cannot compile C/C++, it can serve as a fil-C alternative for unsafe pure rust code. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?

> It's easy to forget how different the Middle East looked before the conquest of Islam starting in 600 AD. It’s easy to forget because it’s a fabricated perspective. Islamic/Arabian conquest of MENA isn’t really that different

It's YouTube that's the perpetrator of the tragedy of the commons here. There must be a mandatory expiration of any intellectual property into the public domain after a set amount of time and/or after the owner died and the s

I would go so far as saying people are born racist and can only grow out of it.

Not sure how this could work geopolitically. You need to able to build it to prevent a country from having the ability to hold another country hostage by cutting another country out of the network.

Yes, currently the 2nd amendment only guarentees that no censorship comes from government. We need a stronger guarantee: no censorship on any public discourse from any party. Not any kind, because even well intentioned censorship causes pro

I saw posts on r/rust talking about making a rust-like language for non system programming. I think Swift fits exactly that purpose, only frustrated by Apple giving it Windows support a decade after it's creation.

That depends though. In Java/C# dereferencing a null reference is a runtime error and you can pinpoint exactly where it happened. In C++/Rust, dereferencing null pointers is undefined behavior since the compiler makes assumptions

Agreed. I think schools that turns bad students into good ones deserve more funding and publicity than schools that turns good students into excellent ones.

The law is unjust. The anti-defammation law was used to stifle press freedom and suppress journalists. It doesn't matter whether it's lawful in Thailand or not, freedom of speech without the fear of persecution is a part of the In

If you use electric motor, the noise of an internal combustion engine can be eliminated, although the propellers themselves make huge noise too.

I think the article is talking about capturing inert N2 from atmosphere directly with benzene, not about nitrogen pollutants like NOx.

You can also make it with natural gas and capture the CO2 produced.

That complexity comes from the fact that you are using non ASCII characters. UTF8 is a superset of standard ASCII. If you are using only standard ASCII characters, they're exactly the same thing.

> Also the whole language suffers from being a weird mix of C-like statement syntax and FP-like expression syntax I quite like this though. All other expression based languages like MLs and Haskell use indentation, making it very hard to

I don't think you can have shared IPC memory in rust. You have to use message passing. Of course you are on your own completely, and there will be weird logic bugs when you mess it up. However, there won't be any memory corruption

I found the "Too Many LinkedList" tutorial is very helpful. Try to follow the tutorial by writing your own code.

This article does a great job explaining the subtleties about rust closures. A subtle point often missed is that if you want the anonymous structure of your closure itself to own a value, so that you can have a closure with a `'static`

It is actually easier to introduce an undefined behavior in unsafe rust than in C, since rust use the guarantee that two mutable references living that the same time cannot aliase to optimize code.

This is very strange to me. Isn't Japanese supposedly to be very easy to rhyme due to its very simple phonetics?
