Non-tokio runtimes manage just fine without all of those bounds for local, single-threaded execution though. https://docs.rs/smol/latest/smol/fn.block_on.html

There's such a thing as unfunny comedians.

Another alternative is to use the RMT (remote control module). I've had success with that. There's a driver for it in Rust: https://lib.rs/crates/ws2812-esp32-rmt-driver

They are callable from plain Rust. See the crate `esp-idf-sys` [1]. I'm using ESP32-C3, Rust, and the IDF for a DIY RGB room lighting solution [2]. Convenient MQTT and OTA updates …

Seriously. The post should've just been the "Rust Isn’t Fun for Me" section. That's the reason, everything else is just rationalizing. To be clear, I don't mean to disparage the au…

Also, get a new smoke detector just to verify that you're not sleeping every night in a room with a carbon monoxide leak.

I can write on a piece of paper, right now, that I have supreme power over the state. That doesn't actually make it so. Most of the powers the monarchs in Scandinavia supposedly ha…

Isn't that basically how you'd write it in Prolog?

It is in France, and possibly other places as well.

Reminds me of a post on here in 2018, "It Takes Two Neurons to Ride a Bicycle (2004)" [1], where many of the commenters rightfully pointed out that instead of turning this into a m…

In my uni, many professors used Emacs when demonstrating. For example, one course [0] used the Agda language [1] as a proof assistant. Afaik, the only good interactive Agda interfa…

VSCode isn't, but VSCodium is.

VSCode isn't open source, but VSCodium (which comprises a significant subset of VSCode) is. See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24561289 .

Depending on your definition of the term, OOP can imply parametric & ad hoc polymorphism. Sure. But that in no way implies that all languages with that kind of polymorphism are OOP…

Do you know how this ray marching compares to normal ray tracing time complexity wise, with regards to the amount of geometry?
