These types of GRBs are caused by the death of massive stars with low metallicity, not active galactic nuclei. There absolutely could be a GRB inside of the milky way galaxy pointe…

Very cool! I don't understand the motivation about lifetimes in sync rust not being able to be arbitrary. I'm also confused because most of the time went you want to send data arou…

I agree with you but just for completeness the rust equivalent is unsafe { *ten_things.get_unchecked_mut(11) = blah } Which goes to show that usually the unsafe methods are more ve…

This would be really cool! you should open up a RFC for it.

Leaks can happen in rust. The guarantee safe rust makes is that memory leaks cannot result in undefined behavior.

There are similar issues in Rust to the one Hickey talks about in Java, in terms of cognitive overload and difficulty in a human parsing the program. However, I've found rust large…

Former academic scientist, now software engineer. I think this article misses the point that rarely in science is the code the actual product/deliverable. The way a scientific code…

For a job interview I did the same parallelization of a`isPrime` in Rust, and it the basically as simple as the one for Julia, replacing a call of `into_iter()` with `into_par_iter…
