I've read a few small overviews of jj. One thing that's off-putting as a git lover is that while git is truly append-only (except refs), jj seems quite "mutable" by comparison. Say…

I was under the impression Waymo was the leader. Who are they behind and how?

> A C programmer who doesn't check the validity of pointers passed to functions and subsequently causes a NULL dereference is not a C programmer I want on my team. I disagree. Inte…

For a structured approach to ptrace/syscall rewriting, you could try FB's reverie. I worked on and used it during an internship a few years back; it's pretty amazing at what it doe…

It's possible the Chromium/Electron thing is this bug[1], which affects new proprietary nvidia drivers on recent Chromium versions. I also experienced that bug, though I don't thin…

Rust wraps in release mode and traps in debug mode[0][1]. All large projects that I know of ship in release mode. Though I'd be interested to see a source for it not pessimizing ba…

The field of view of the camera is only 1.5x1.5 degrees[1], roughly 3x the size of the moon viewed from the ground. [1] "NAR" in the upper left, and https://forums.vrsimulations.co…

Some here are saying "Why not just use Rust/D/Zig/Nim/Crystal if you're going to break backwards compatibility?" I believe the proposal is closer to "We've removed this old feature…

There's really no evidence that C++ has a higher performance ceiling. From a broad view, both are compiled with no runtime. More specifically, Rust and C/C++ trade the lead constan…

Regardless of what exactly rustc does right now, in the future Rust's strict aliasing rules will basically ensure Rust does this optimization in every possible case, because Rust r…

Rust basically has this functionality. Whether a type is borrowed or not dictates what I can do with it. For example, I cannot remove items from a `Vec` with a shared &reference. T…
