There's a (configurable, easily bypassed) limit for newly created file size to catch that common mistake.

Disabling that option makes the `%SystemRoot%\system32\GigabyteUpdateService.exe` binary mentioned by the original article stop appearing, so it seems so.

There's even been experiments with binding futures to glib or various GUI event loops!

"system" here is intended to refer to the application using tokio, i.e. if you got rid of tokio and did everything by hand you wouldn't be able to make your application faster.

It's worth emphasizing that QUIC is more general than a new transport for HTTP; it has wide ranging applications, due to being far more versatile than TCP.

All Rust programs call out to platform-dependent unsafe code sooner or later in the form of the standard library. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to allocate memory or do any I/O w…

The current draft encourages, but does not require, QUIC implementations to employ path MTU discovery along those lines; see https://quicwg.org/base-drafts/draft-ietf-quic-transpor…

Even if you're writing your own engine from scratch, VR runtimes provide orientation information directly to the engine as a 4x4 transform matrix. They would have to ignore all the…

Those are probably supported version numbers.

Do you want GNU extensions? Use the latter. Otherwise, use the former.

One of Rust's selling points is literally that it has very easy zero-overhead C interop.

Who needs type systems, anyway? Or any datatypes but strings, for that matter!

A type system for Nix would be pretty neat, but a lot of unfortunate design decisions were made in the absence of one that may make this a difficult project.
