> It's easy to forget how different the Middle East looked before the conquest of Islam starting in 600 AD. It’s easy to forget because it’s a fabricated perspective. Islamic/Arabi…

It's YouTube that's the perpetrator of the tragedy of the commons here. There must be a mandatory expiration of any intellectual property into the public domain after a set amount …

I would go so far as saying people are born racist and can only grow out of it.

Not sure how this could work geopolitically. You need to able to build it to prevent a country from having the ability to hold another country hostage by cutting another country ou…

Ops... Brain just shortcut

Yes, currently the 2nd amendment only guarentees that no censorship comes from government. We need a stronger guarantee: no censorship on any public discourse from any party. Not a…

I saw posts on r/rust talking about making a rust-like language for non system programming. I think Swift fits exactly that purpose, only frustrated by Apple giving it Windows supp…

That depends though. In Java/C# dereferencing a null reference is a runtime error and you can pinpoint exactly where it happened. In C++/Rust, dereferencing null pointers is undefi…

Agreed. I think schools that turns bad students into good ones deserve more funding and publicity than schools that turns good students into excellent ones.

The law is unjust. The anti-defammation law was used to stifle press freedom and suppress journalists. It doesn't matter whether it's lawful in Thailand or not, freedom of speech w…

I think the article is talking about capturing inert N2 from atmosphere directly with benzene, not about nitrogen pollutants like NOx.

You can also make it with natural gas and capture the CO2 produced.

That complexity comes from the fact that you are using non ASCII characters. UTF8 is a superset of standard ASCII. If you are using only standard ASCII characters, they're exactly …

> Also the whole language suffers from being a weird mix of C-like statement syntax and FP-like expression syntax I quite like this though. All other expression based languages lik…

I don't think you can have shared IPC memory in rust. You have to use message passing. Of course you are on your own completely, and there will be weird logic bugs when you mess it…

I found the "Too Many LinkedList" tutorial is very helpful. Try to follow the tutorial by writing your own code.

Isn't Ada already used in areospace industry?

We should start a rating boycott where we rate highest for all ratings.

"Too many linkedlists" is an excellent tutorial for understanding ownership IMO.

This article does a great job explaining the subtleties about rust closures. A subtle point often missed is that if you want the anonymous structure of your closure itself to own a…
