I agree with you. My general rule of thumb is that I use `unwrap()` for cases where the panic should be unreachable, and is at least reasonably easy to prove it's unreachable. Otherwise, `?` in 90% of code, with panics far up the stac

I use Rust for more or less everything these days, but I found the learning curve to be fairly tough up front. That was in 2019, though; maybe it's easier today with all the improved compiler diagnostics and new books and whatnot. &gt

The bar I frequent uses straws made of biodegradable material derived from sugarcane - they last a lot longer than paper straws, but ultimately are water soluble and will dissolve after a day ish if submerged. They obviously cost a lot mor

Good point. I'm going to start allocating tens of megabytes of random data all over my address space at the beginning of execution so that I too can gain this advantage :)

You actually can - https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/lli.html LLVM's original purpose was something analogous to the JVM, but it's obviously evolved to be more of a compiler platform, debugging toolchai

You just listed two very good reasons: Intermediate values can't be named, and error messages are awful.

Go's issues are mostly not performance related, so more monomorphization will really not solve a significant portion of them.

What's the definition of "success" here? Popularity?

I agree. The rule of thumb I follow is that if the list comp doesn't fit on one line, whatever I'm doing is probably too complicated for a list comp.

This is an ... interesting argument. "I can't write this 200LOC component of a large codebase in safe Rust, so what's the point in Rust?"

I think their point is that there are a lot of people for whom $300 is a great payment - essentially, defending the maintainers for offering what the parent seems to be implying is too little. Personally, I'm a senior dev making more t

I was thinking about busy servers running mixed workloads. I would think that, with the CPU running a bunch of workloads on different cores, context switching, etc, it wouldn't be a practical attack. Maybe that's incorrect. Most

At some point you have to accept that if you want to know something, you have to learn it. At one point, you didn't know grep, awk, sed, etc... And then you learned them. Or you can just stick with the old tools if you prefer not lear

I would not describe latency as "excellent" in Go, unless you're measuring average or p90.

I stand corrected then, this would probably be a great fit

When last I checked (and contacted support :)), there was no way to get per-panel generation data from the API. It's been, like, at least a year, but if it hasn't already been added, that'd be a thing I'd love to see so

I have nothing to add, but I'm using IQ7+s on the roof. It's grid-tied, but they've consistently worked great, and Enlighten's API is shockingly (pun intended) nice to use.

I would also bet that getting the game to perform the exact same series of allocations would be an intractable problem to solve. I don't think Doom 3 has a benchmark mode; the author just recorded themselves loading the game, loading

I agree. It's not like there aren't plenty of improvements to be made, but I write a lot of async Rust and the limitations (which are well enumerated elsewhere in the comments) just aren't really an issue for what I do.

The default AVX offset for Ice Lake is indeed only 100MHz (and it doesn't exist starting with Rocket Lake), but 512b SIMD instructions use a lot of power, and as a result generate a lot of heat - so they certainly can cause thermal thr

Not for recent hardware - Ice Lake eliminated the throttling on 256b ops (they already didn't exist for certain 256b ops and all smaller ops), and reduced the throttling to almost nothing for 512b ops. Rocket Lake eliminated the throt

Sure, obviously you can generate strings containing HTML and send those. I'm imagining something like the serverside rendering you get with e.g. React. That said, I don't know what specifically the previous poster was looking fo
