>> Built-in line and column tracking. Any movement across a newline updates the line number, including a backwards seek. getLine and getColumn are always available and both are one…

I will provide some context from having done a lot of that work. The Rust grammar is actually quite regular, that's why we have things like the turbofish for type parameters (`bind…

It's a project years in the making.

The thing that has changed is that there are spaces where security is being taken more seriously, and C's memory unsafety became a deal breaker there. I do think that providing a m…

Could you point me at the members of the Rust project doing so? I'd want to have a word with them (I'm a member of t-compiler).

I don't think using an example that includes licensing, plenty of regulations governing drivers, the cars themselves and the built environment, enforcement, and plenty of research …

There's a material difference on one taking risks for oneself and one taking risks where the brunt of the consequences fall on others.

> Are there any drawbacks to Rust editions? That they can't (yet) be used to influence name resolution, so that they can't be leveraged for std API evolution. Work is being done on…

I think that everyone has the power to be wrong, but to be very wrong with convincing arguments , you must be smart. A smart person can come up with post-hoc rationalizations that …

If anything comedy is an excellent way of learning a language: the use of double and triple entendres helps to quickly get exposed to alternate meanings and misunderstandings of wo…

You sure come across as calm and collected, looking for a good faith discussion...

In cycling threads you always have comments both telling cyclists to stay out of sidewalks and others telling cyclists that they "only* belong in sidewalks (and away from the road …

We can't individual responsibility our way out of systemic problems. Cyclists on sidewalks generally signals terrible bike infrastructure. There are people on bikes that ride like …

Yes, that would be one way of doing it. You can model off of the Typed Builder pattern: struct Builder { a: Option , b: Option , } struct Val { a: u32, b: u32, } impl Builder { fn …

This is in effect a state machine, and when you have a type system more complex than C's you can encode state transitions in the type system (either by having state transitions exp…

Like DVD before it, Blu-ray includes region locking as a feature (but apparently ~70% of disks don't bother with it, notably Paramount and Universal don't). Non-locked disks are ma…

The movie itself is generally encoded at a higher bitrate than what you can find in streaming or torrents. The media includes bonus features that generally aren't available in stre…

A lot of people talking about how displaying the flag at all could get somebody in Russia in trouble. You could see the increasing of the likelihood as helpful then, because the fl…

This is a problem I'm seeing a lot of countries rushing full steam ahead. The age of a single physical ID that's only rarely needed and ubiquitous cash payments seems to be coming …

This kind of thing is one of the reasons crates.io distributes source only, and that published crate dependencies can't depend on other repositories (that might allow for that atta…

Feel free to point at 1 thing that the rust-lang didn't do because the Foundation blocked it.
