My read of the "side projects and experiments" part of the blog post is that, in the context of LLM projects , if your project does not use resources and isn't looking to attract a…

I think more to the point, if 0 doesn't represent 0.0, and 255 doesn't represent 1.0, congratulations you've just lost your additive and multiplicative identities and most of the m…

Both types have the `From` conversion traits implemented between each other, so in most cases interoperating with APIs using the old type should be as simple as doing `(1...4).into…

That's part of the error enum. enum AllocError { SizeTooLarge { size: usize }, // etc. } This enum has a known size and doesn't require any dynamic allocations.

I mean, yeah, that was the point of my original reply: health care, education and housing have been getting less accessible in general, not just that poster's country. (Or wherever…

I don't have concrete metrics/sources to give right now, but my general perception from reading the news is that there's been staffing issues pushing healthcare systems in the US t…

Health care, education and housing have been getting worse and more expensive in the US over the decade also. Must be all that nationalization.

In what ways do version pining/lockfiles not solve this problem?

I love corruption!

No, they're implying that you need a lot of coins to pay for parking. If you need $6 to pay for parking, and the largest commonly available coin is a quarter, that means you need 2…

Games are not fungible.

> Is this actually useful in practice? It's required to do any intialization, particularly for compound futures (e.g. a "join" or "select" type of combinator), since you need to be…

For 1, I think it's hard to make a distinction between swapping an object, vs. swapping/mutating all of its fields such that it becomes equivalent to a different object. For 3, som…

People aren't complaining about that. What you do in the privacy of your own computer is only your problem. The issue is people pouring a whole "arduous" 2 hours into vibecoding a …

This post mirrors my sentiment and the reasons I dislike these sorts of "projects" much more closely than the main site does, deserved to be the main submission, in retrospect.

The author of the patch does mention that the better thing to do in the long run is to replace the data structure with one that is possible to better encapsulate: https://lore.kern…

I thought that the implication was that the shader compiler produces a second shader from the same source that went through a dead code elimination pass which maintains only the co…

I was lost when it suddenly jumped from a long retrospective on GPUs to abruptly talking about "my allocator API" on the next paragraph with no segue or justification.

A 'static lifetime does not live for the rest of the program. It rather is guaranteed to live for as long as anyone is able to observe it. Data allocated in an Rc for example, live…

That is not a memory leak though! That's using/exposing an uninitialized buffer, which can happen even if you allocate and free your allocations correctly. Leaking the buffer would…

...yes?

Needs a (2020) in the title. I don't think anything major is outdated, but in particular in section 10, one of the desired syntaxes is now supported as an unstable feature but ther…

And after digging through the comments... Yup it's private equity again. PE buyouts should be considered criminal fraud.

The world today is just crooks all the way down (or up, depending on how you look at it).

It relaxes the contract required for an existing type with derive(Clone) to implement Clone, which might allow types in existing code to be cloned where they couldn't before. This …
