Do you support the 19.10 release? The inability to compile or package every version and variant of TF, and GCC9 conflicts with both the CUDA SDK and Tensorflow, is precisely why we created Tensorman.

It did not have serious memory bugs. All of the unsafe code in Redox, of which only a small fraction is unsafe, is neatly compartmentalized so that it's easy to audit.

Having written Rust code for 4 years, I'd say it's not the biggest feature of Rust. It's just one of many good points. Among my favorite are the explicit & rich APIs, high level concepts (ADTs, pattern-matching, trait-bas

He was given a notification by System76 back in January that we were busy with moving into the new warehouse, hardware testing, and developing our 18.04 release. Getting our firmware to work with his tool is not a high priority.

Rust doesn't have a runtime, so there's no runtime code to ship in the first place. It's as low level as C, but with a modern syntax and accompanying core and standard libraries. Thread support is done by using existing OS pr

We've already thrown away POSIX compatibility. Linux isn't POSIX. Mac OS X isn't POSIX. Windows isn't POSIX. POSIX only continues to exist in varying degrees at different times.

Although, a lot of us are working towards replacement of C in a lot of areas. Being able to say you've written something in Rust is one thing, but having the whole stack Rust all the way down is something else. Not to mention, it'

I landed a job w/ Rust, and the programming challenge I was given was a simple C programming challenge to implement a parser to parse gzip headers, to which I did it in both C and Rust. Nobody hiring for a position that's largely

He's referring to how the language and it's ecosystem will evolve from this point forward in comparison to the C++ ecosystem. In addition, the programs that are there should be just fine. There is a lot of room for advancing the R

It doesn't really matter that Mozilla's a small organization. All they had to do was provide strong leadership and management expertise, and entice the open source community to voluntarily join and advance the project accordingly.

I personally went from Go (slightly mingling with it) -> Rust 1.0 (wrote my first applications with it) and found it to be incredibly easy to learn in comparison to C, C++, Java, and even Python and JavaScript. Everything's pretty e

What's funny is that if you ask different people the same question about Rust's selling point, you'll get a different answer most of the time. Rust has a lot of features, and it's the sum of all the parts that make the w

Sounds like what you want is more along the lines of the Ion shell[1], rather than Elvish. It's written in Rust, and the performance well exceeds Dash (written in C), despite having a lot of features that Dash is unable to do efficient

Here in Northern Virginia, near the DC area, it was so hot that winter never came. Grass, bushes and trees were still green during winter. It didn't snow this year. And it's been incredibly hot through spring and summer. Temperatu

The more experience you gain with Rust, the less you fight against the compiler, and the less you'll opt for the unsafe keyword. Fighting the compiler is just something that happens the first few weeks.

You should use crossbeam for #1. And as for strings, I wouldn't think of them as duplicate types any more than u32 and &u32 are duplicate types. They are semantically the same. Referencing a boxed type returns the reference type.

Rust refactor times are significantly faster than C++, and solutions can be implemented and deployed to production at a much faster rate, without the need to wait for Coverity scans to verify PRs. It enforces proper idioms at compile-time;

It seems that you have a very misguided view of what Rust offers to the table. The main selling point of Rust is not safety. Safety is just a side effect of lowering the bar to achieving concurrency/parallelism, which has proven time a

Rust does much more than reducing bugs. It is able to reduce memory consumption, decrease the required amount of CPU cycles, and increase maintainability / adaptability. ADTs aren't a joke, and neither is Cargo, move semantics by
