Last time I check, multi-process byte-range file locking was a mess. I'm surprised by your statement about BerkeleyDB, because as far as I can tell it simply cannot be safely imple…

If you want good examples of Rust code, you should probably look into other repositories. Today I was checking out how Rust's HashMap works and I found it quite readable: https://g…

Thanks for the clarification. I wanted to subscribe to rust's internals debates and proposals, but I was not sure how to find them. Should I be looking at https://github.com/rust-l…

That's a fair criticism, and well taken, but keep in mind I'm learning the language as I go, and most of the commits are just rewriting things because they were suboptimal, not idi…

I had no intention of making the end result useful, but I run into interesting problems. First, I wanted to make it as pure Rust as possible. I tried to avoid UNIX specific code, a…

Te respondiste a vos solo, no a mí. Sí he estado, no desde que se popularizaron los smartphones, y mientras hablas de experiencias personales no deja de ser estadísticamente insign…

Rant? Do you really consider I was ranting at any point? I think I've exhibit thoughts, tried to look for mathematical proof, quoted people who are smarter than me, wonder about kn…

I tried to do the math myself about the correlation, but it seems like my statistics teachers would be disappointed[1]. What R^2 did you get compared to ARI and what with PRO? At f…

Surprising finding 99% invisible here, but more surprising is the chosen episode, considering its latest is completely computer related, even talks about Steve Jobs. It closes with…
