Not if the gigabit ethernet adapter is also a USB3 hub, like so: https://www.amazon.com/USB-Ethernet-Splitter-HUB-Network/dp/...

They sell high end Linux systems, and maintain the Ubuntu-based Pop!_OS Linux distribution. The Lemur Pro — and other Intel-only laptops — are running open source firmware develope…

Options like so exist: https://www.amazon.com/USB-Ethernet-Splitter-HUB-Network/dp/...

You can purchase a USB3 to 1G ethernet adapter for $10.

Do you support the 19.10 release? The inability to compile or package every version and variant of TF, and GCC9 conflicts with both the CUDA SDK and Tensorflow, is precisely why we…

It did not have serious memory bugs. All of the unsafe code in Redox, of which only a small fraction is unsafe, is neatly compartmentalized so that it's easy to audit.

Having written Rust code for 4 years, I'd say it's not the biggest feature of Rust. It's just one of many good points. Among my favorite are the explicit & rich APIs, high level co…

He was given a notification by System76 back in January that we were busy with moving into the new warehouse, hardware testing, and developing our 18.04 release. Getting our firmwa…

Rust doesn't have a runtime, so there's no runtime code to ship in the first place. It's as low level as C, but with a modern syntax and accompanying core and standard libraries. T…

We've already thrown away POSIX compatibility. Linux isn't POSIX. Mac OS X isn't POSIX. Windows isn't POSIX. POSIX only continues to exist in varying degrees at different times.

Although, a lot of us are working towards replacement of C in a lot of areas. Being able to say you've written something in Rust is one thing, but having the whole stack Rust all t…

I landed a job w/ Rust, and the programming challenge I was given was a simple C programming challenge to implement a parser to parse gzip headers, to which I did it in both C and …

He's referring to how the language and it's ecosystem will evolve from this point forward in comparison to the C++ ecosystem. In addition, the programs that are there should be jus…

It doesn't really matter that Mozilla's a small organization. All they had to do was provide strong leadership and management expertise, and entice the open source community to vol…

You can mix them if you take your Options and convert them into Results with the Option::ok_or(E) method. do_this(x).ok_or(CustomError::ThisError)?;

I personally went from Go (slightly mingling with it) -> Rust 1.0 (wrote my first applications with it) and found it to be incredibly easy to learn in comparison to C, C++, Java, a…

What's funny is that if you ask different people the same question about Rust's selling point, you'll get a different answer most of the time. Rust has a lot of features, and it's …

Sounds like what you want is more along the lines of the Ion shell[1], rather than Elvish. It's written in Rust, and the performance well exceeds Dash (written in C), despite havin…

If you have ideas, then you should pitch them on the corresponding GitHub projects.

Here in Northern Virginia, near the DC area, it was so hot that winter never came. Grass, bushes and trees were still green during winter. It didn't snow this year. And it's been i…

The more experience you gain with Rust, the less you fight against the compiler, and the less you'll opt for the unsafe keyword. Fighting the compiler is just something that happen…

You should use crossbeam for #1. And as for strings, I wouldn't think of them as duplicate types any more than u32 and &u32 are duplicate types. They are semantically the same. Ref…

> You say that, yet you're still running a ton of software written in C and C++. Nice assumption. Much of the software I use is actually implemented in Rust. And soon, I'll be usin…

Rust refactor times are significantly faster than C++, and solutions can be implemented and deployed to production at a much faster rate, without the need to wait for Coverity scan…

It seems that you have a very misguided view of what Rust offers to the table. The main selling point of Rust is not safety. Safety is just a side effect of lowering the bar to ach…
