    Not GP but I feel like there's a continual process of the stdlib adding some new functionality to make one such crate redundant (e.g. is-terminal in 1.70), but it isn't done yet.

    I noticed my 13 thermally handles being on a soft surface (like a bed or a couch) very poorly, it gets quite warm to the touch and runs the fans hard even at rest. Does the improve…

    Similar story here. Mine is 3 years old, and the battery is about 80% of its original capacity and the touchpad occasionally drops clicks, but otherwise it's still working great! A…

    Maybe this isn't the case for you, but a number of creators I watch have some videos that they only upload to Nebula. So it's worth it for me to see those videos I otherwise wouldn…

    There's a lint for indexing an array, but not for all maybe-panicking operations. For example, the `copy_from_slice` method on slices ( https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/primitive.slic…

    If you pick the DIY version, that is an option. I got mine with no OS preinstalled and no MS tax, and it was easy enough to install Manjaro.

    Many people do code against some sort of VM, but there are still people writing code in C/C++/Rust/Go/&c that gets compiled to machine code and run directly. Also, even if you're r…
