They might be trying to get into the context of long-running chat sessions.

Yes, editions are a great mechanism. It still has its limits, especially if you want easy edition migrations. All existing Rust code assumes it can drop any type whenever it wants,…

Yes, destructuring is typically the only allowed way to get rid of linear/indestructible values. If the type has private fields, this is only possible in the same module, so commit…

Ah, thanks, I didn't realize "pin ergonomics" was the Rust Project name for @withoutboats' pinned places.

There's a different proposal by @withoutboats to make immovability a property of the place/reference instead of the type: https://without.boats/blog/pinned-places/ Does this projec…

You could also detect when the elevator call button gets pressed again right after the elevator has left a floor. That means someone wasn't able to get on the elevator (and is now …

The gluon with color (|g1> + |g2> + |g8>) / √3 is just a superposition of the gluons with colors g1, g2 and g8, the same way you can make superpositions of any other particles. You…

I guess it's mainly a limit to savescumming.

Yeah, this is basically stochastic dithering applied to numeric floating point quantization instead of image color quantization. This makes me wonder whether you could apply differ…

It's the same topology! Just replace each shuffle/blend with multiplication by a root of unity and addition, and you get FFT!

A good example for this is A + A^T; you can fuse the two operations but you cannot get around the access pattern of matrix transposition.

Making laws more explicit in important cases is valuable because it reduces uncertainty about legal interpretation. Using your example of cellphone use, under distracted driving la…

Thank you for the detailed answers! I think purity is something the programmer just has to annotate themselves. Any boundary between languages with different type system guarantees…

It's great that this allows passing Rust structs both as ForeignPtr and as native records with marshalling! Some questions/ideas: - Is there a way to generate #[hsrs::data_type] bi…

Monads got their name from monoids (being a monoid in the category of endofunctors). Monoids are equivalent to one-object categories, so the name uses the greek syllable "mono" for…

I've noticed this with UI interfaces before: For example, an IBAN field which actively blocks you from entering more than the expected number of characters. Seems like a good idea …

Does "Pharma" actually dose medication based on the Eyring equation? I'm not convinced we actually know the value of ΔG. AFAIK, the optimal biological dose is determined via dose-r…

Road capacity does not increase with speed above 50 km/h on urban roads or 70 km/h on highways. Following distance scales with speed, so more speed can actually mean fewer cars per…

I'm not so sure this is really a free market equilibrium. There are two effects which explain the prevalence of ads even if consumers are willing to pay more for ad-free products: …

The last line of the introduction > By doing so, we aim to provide a novel paradigm [...] also made me think of item 19 on your list: > 10 points for claiming that your work is on …

This reads a lot like an advertisement. The linked page [[Cyclorotor]] is more neutral and has more information on the design and applications outside of marine vessels: https://en…

It‘s preying on the city‘s desperation to get a cash payout, to get space and utilities worth much more. Facebook abuses its market power to pit city governments against each other…

The saying probably assumes that each chronometer has a certain small probability of malfunctioning, resulting in a significant error (basically a fat-tailed error distribution). W…

Thanks for the link, nice to see the informal conventions spelled out like this!

True, although better pruning can massively lower the effective branching ratio compared to pure alpha-beta, making the algorithm benefit more from longer search time again (which …
