That doesn't mean it's not memory safe - it means that those constructs need to be thoroughly scrutinized for memory safety, which is significantly better than the entire codebase needing to be thoroughly scrutinized for memory sa

I haven't experienced that at all. Any of the codebases I've worked in - both proprietary and open-source - have converted errors to strings when it becomes necessary: When presenting it to a user, whether that means logging or

Yeah, but that futzing typically happens separately near the "outer" error type's declaration - and when it doesn't, a concise .map_err() often does the job. It's also often taken care of by a sort thiserror macro i

I had a bug hunt as part of an interview once (or, I should say, once that I remember). It was different from that proposal in that the code was not part of the company's actual codebase - it was entirely fabricated for the test. It

According to another replier it's been moved to dedicated VMs in Azure, so it's not as bad, but still subject to noisy neighbors. I agree with your assessment - if I were fixing it I would do something similar.

They're also benchmarking on Github Actions runners, with swings of up to ~50% from run to run, which is more than enough to shuffle the results to more or less random positions. I contributed to it last week but without any will to s

A misfire is a failure to combust the air/fuel charge in the combustion chamber during the expansion stroke, and they aren't typically caused by muffler deletes. They can lead to the popping sound you're describing, but the

Your analogy really hits. I don't mind doing construction in general (I quite like doing it once in a while), but roofing absolutely sucks no matter how you cut it

I can't (or, more accurately, don't ) believe that, but I can certainly believe they have nothing interesting to say about the topic of static vs dynamic typing.

If slide-out keyboards were still a thing they wouldn't be nearly as bad but we had to get rid of those because being thinner is the most important thing in the world

You, me, and anybody else reading the comments. If you want to disagree on the metaphysics or whatever go ahead, but this is already proving to be a huge waste of time and I'm not particularly interested.

Not disagreeing you, just adding a point...I self-host Conduit and use FluffyChat on my phone, with ntfy for push notifications. While that works great most of the time, I occasionally have to restrict ntfy because it'll get into some

Note that this isn't true for all heat pumps, nor all furnaces. A forced-air system can vary the air handler speed, and a hydronic system can vary the water temperature; with heat pumps, there exist variable-speed compressors, but the

The project itself may not be large, but if it's pulling in 517 dependencies, that's a lot to compile. Rust also does significantly more for you at compile time than C++ does, so I don't mind the compiler taking some not time

If you're already an expert in some other programming discipline (e.g. another language) I wouldn't expect it to take 10 years to become a Rust expert. I'd expect one or two if you're using it primarily, which is simila

I think that depends on your perspective - specifically, whether you think more deaths or fewer deaths is winning:)
