> Teasing an owl: https://youtube.com/watch?v=Y0i9tjnW7r0 There was a video on youtube about a crow coming to a human and making that sound, also in winter with snow; commenters ag…

Thanks for the info! I guess it also makes sense as I realized after posting, if it did use the result of malloc unused it should crash immediately due to references into the zero …

Do you happen to use memory resource limits? I used to run Firefox under some, like everything, to prevent it from potentially making the whole system unresponsible, and at the sam…

If the code in the closure moves a value, then the closure becomes an FnOnce and does move the value out of the context. That's what you probably have in mind. So, Rust does suppor…

> So AFAICT Embassy doesn't do this at all? I haven't used Embassy, but the README mentions "Tasks on the same async executor run cooperatively, but you can create multiple executo…

No, unless you ask for it via the `move` keyword in front of the closure. This works fine: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&editio...

There's an independent reimplementation of the PIO assembler here: https://crates.io/crates/pio -- I haven't tried it so don't know how good.

I think the hard drive platter moves in the wrong direction--it pushes the head into the platter instead of away from it if it gets too close.

I wonder if they sensed that at some point number plates would be automatically recorded wherever you drive, even when not causing an accident or doing anything illegal. Just a fun…

Thanks for the nojs version!

I would expect that this increases the gap between new and old phones / makes old phones unusable more quickly: new phones will typically have enough RAM and can live with the 9% l…

That sounds plausible. I've sent them a mail.

OK, but they wrote "At the end of the last century", which implies towards 2000 not 1900.

> At the end of the last century, coal was used to generate more than 95% of the UK's energy, but last year it had fallen to 1%. That looks like an impressive change, even if the c…

If we're talking about constructing structs, like in `Foo { bar, baz: 123 }` (with the `bar` style shortcut in it), I have used that kind of syntax 10 times in 16 KLOC of Rust. Not…

Linkers & Loaders is their own book (I haven't checked the others). They have a page at https://www.iecc.com/linker/ where they used to publish a draft of the book contents, but ch…

I was looking at the main branch, and described the situation there. They have a different branch for the optimization work; in that branch, they do mark those functions as `unsafe…

Using clone or Arc with boxing everywhere to avoid using references with lifetimes at all will lead to code that's slower than Go/Java, yes, unless you're just cloning small object…

Yes, but their code appears to actually be `unsafe` (in the Rust terminology sense) without specifying that in their function declarations. They use `unsafe` inside their `slice` f…

After a cursory inspection of the memleak program source and Brendan Gregg's blog post it's still not clear to me what it is tracking to be able to decide that there's a leak here.…

I'm using VNC for coworking/mentoring sessions and it works very well for us (it's lower latency, higher frame rate, sharper picture than typical screen sharing, and allows both/al…

The sorting is according to the "sort" column, not the "name" column (they are not explicit about this but it's clearly what they mean, and it solves your problem). I think the ben…

Yakety Moog, https://youtu.be/qp_b-TkkR4I Maybe I'm hearing more into it than there is, and I'm not a musician. Still it's the piece closest to the Thing on a Spring tune that I've…

Interesting, this Gil Trythall piece is the tune in the Commodore C-64 game "Thing on a Spring", isn't it. I didn't know that was a pre-existing piece. https://www.youtube.com/watc…
