I think what they were referencing with that is that the kernel hardware interface is unstable, it changes literally every version, which is why you went to upstream it so you don'…

To be frank, Google Sheets came installed on my phone, don't think it's ever been opened though... Easy way to inflate numbers there.

As someone with extremely similar experience to thomashabets2 over my life, but less go and more rust, please allow me to compare go's Interfaces to rusts dyn Traits, both of which…

My extended family are also the traditional "white trash", and yes they do indeed think this same way.

A general bevy scripting crate has already been in the works, they were waiting on various things like be y reflect and other such features to be able to work properly and so forth…

Indeed, I personally find Rust to be very nice for rapid prototyping, incremental recompilation is usually a second or two even in my giant projects (mold helps on the linking step…

CMEs in Java are a constant thorn to many Java programmers as a lifetime violation bug. Hell even NPEs are too for that matter, lol.

You can do it without HKTs with an effects system, which you can think of as another kind of generics that causes the function to be sliced in different ways depending on how it's …

LibGDX is not so much a Java game engine as it is just a set of helper utilities and little libraries for building a game or engine out of. It is actually surprisingly efficient on…

I don't think this is accurate as Windows 10 and Windows 11 have edge built in, as WebView2, which is used for some internal Microsoft programs now as well, and older windows syste…

Specifically Tauri uses web views that are based on Chrome or Safari on systems, and only if they don't exist by default will it package it, which somehow still ends up smaller tha…

When initializing a GPU context you can specify whether you want the most efficient device, the fastest device, etc, for a GUI app then you would want to pick the most efficient, w…

Which is what Tauri uses.

This sounds awesome! I hope you post it here!

Rust actually has a library with very good flutter integration, it does require using dart for the actual flutter part though, but it works well together.

Rust may give a subset of file system functionality that all general file systems should in theory support in the front interface, but you can access platform specific functionalit…

> Is the Rust FFI story much better? So very much so. All the usual C types are available, you even have as much control as even saying that you want to struct laid out as it is in…

Honestly curious, but of all the things I've heard people say about QT it could never be about poor performance, it's generally consistently regarded as the fastest complete GUI to…

More likely, I would wager that they were just overwriting the instructions to draw with new instructions that just inline everything so it didn't need to fetch out to anything.

Or rather RAII, borrow checker is a different feature that is not related to garbage collection

Things like the borrower checker helps manage all resources, a GC only manages memory.

I always go back to this: https://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/EWD/transcriptions/EWD08xx/E...

What are you referencing on that page that is memory and safe, the program panicking when attempting to access invalid memory is one of the safety features, it means you have a pro…

Wait, is this why my tap to pay mysteriously stopped working in the past few months on my Pixel 4?!

Just as a bit of counterpoint, I'm still running the same hardware right now as I was 12 to 15 years ago with KDE3, nowadays KDE5 is so much faster than KDE3 ever was. Yes I need t…
