And they run Linux

1) Do not free memory allocated in one language (even more: in one library unless explicitly documented so) into another. Rust can use a custom allocator, and what it uses by defau…

But you would not be able to define functions.

To run win32 applications inside Windows operating systems that are too modern (e.g. for 16bit apps), in a browser or on macOS (recent versions of macOS do not have 32bit support a…

... There are plenty of those kind of games being sold and developed, though. I only play single player stuff and have a backlog that just keeps increasing, I can't keep with the p…

Pentium 60MHz was P5 though, not P54C ... if I'm not mistaken. IIRC the slowest P54C was the 75MHz one as they all had 1.5x multiplier or greater? Again, I wouldn't rule out my mem…

I didn't remember that case, thank you!

Curious: who was/is the tech executive with an Italian arrest warrant?

Plus a waste of computing resources and energy that is better spent elsewhere rather than pointless eye candy.

Cool list! I learned a lot of new things, kudos. One suggestion: where you talk about using AsRef , might be worth suggesting IntoIter, where it makes sense? IIRC that's what std u…

I have an EV, no gas car and I'm super happy about that. And yet when I needed to rent a car, I rented a gasoline one. Why? Because car rental is pretty much the worst case for an …

Didn't know that, then the last point doesn't really apply

I'd say quite the opposite. Reasons: - practically every developer who is remotely interested in assembly programming knows the x86 basics and most experts have a better knowledge …

A domain name can be got for 30$/yr more or less. Vanity is just another explanation, and the hope that the CVE gets "famous" like heartbleed or spectre or meltdown. Source: I'm th…

"someone" is probably a dependency you include that, for one reason or another tries to revert the policy to a lower level of enforcement. Might be because the dependency needs the…

Really? Organized crime also produces fake documents, and they are sold/smuggled to independent actors constantly. Plus, identity theft is not an uncommon crime.
