I feel that the quality of auto-generated docs is generally better for Rust than for other languages like C++ (e.g. via doxygen). This is because the tools make it trival to publis…

Usually these inform tools that can be used to detect rule violations. For example, the rust constant evaluator can execute almost all Rust at run-time except for FFI. This allows …

To make the path stop resolving, you'd have to perform an action (update the server, etc.). These canaries are not automatically updated: they are manually updated (that's the whol…

> Stuff that’s unstable isn’t in Rust; that’s why it can be changed or even wholesale removed at any time. The distinction is very important. I've seen you talk about "writing an O…

Most programming languages don't have a stable / unstable distinction at all, and unless one is "in the Rust loop", stating something like "_unstable_ Rust can do X" won't probably…

If they want to squeeze out the last ounce of performance out of the Rust toolchain it probably wouldn't make sense to use stable Rust anyways, so I don't think that's a big downsi…

I see that you are using MMX intrinsics directly, like _mm_sub_pi8, but you are never calling _mm_empty ( https://software.intel.com/sites/landingpage/IntrinsicsGuide... ) as requi…

You don't need destructors to release resources if you never release them.

Where do you live? And why isn't this the norm everywhere ?

I can totally relate here. I remember that when I started running, "it's too cold", "it's too windy", "it's too dark", etc. were real issues. It was too dark and I didn't had enoug…

You don't have to pay 100$ to run a marathon. If you have a pair of running shoes and a normal running belt (for water and a gel) that will do. You just have to put them on and the…

Is there a good read somewhere about Travis CI vs Circle CI vs gitlab ?

Living in Germany, nobody here cares about Brexit. They don't show it in the news much. General opinion across my circles is that the UK should do whatever they want (leave or stay…

The amount of food the UK imports from the EU is irrelevant, the relevant question is how much food does the UK import ? This is because, as an EU member, the UK has trade agreemen…

I don't think the OP literally meant that porting code was impossible, but rather, that it was very hard to do so and have the result run efficiently.
