Wondering how the 2021 MacBook Pro camera stacks up to the 2019 one. I did my first Zoom call with my 16” M1 Max yesterday and the quality seemed to be quite a lot better (although I coincidentally im…

Yup. Given, too, that it was presented at the Dutch Cycling Embassy, I (as a Dutchman) read this as the author trying to raise the bar/challenging the Dutch discussion on transit (or Movement, as…

Both bloggers know each other (this is pretty obvious if you read some of their online stuff), so Dan Luu probably reviewed the other post early and thought it interesting enough to add his own take.

unsafe code blocks are required to uphold the invariants of the safe Rust code surrounding it. So yes, if you fail to uphold those invariants (and that's proven to be pretty tricky), your program…

We're mainly using it to find related names in the set of domains available from aftermarkets. We're using the fastText word vectors from Facebook for this. We haven't done any work spe…

I wrote an HNSW implementation in pure Rust: https://github.com/InstantDomain/instant-distance It works pretty well for us at InstantDomainSearch. I like to think that this is a …

Does anyone have links to the Google and Microsoft reviews mentioned in this email? Browsing the last 6 months of public-new-work archives doesn't seem to yield many other reviews of the DID prop…

IIUC lack of attribution in this case is enough to invoke GitHub's DMCA process against the violating repo.

List comprehensions date from Python 2.0 (October 2000), decorators from 2.4 (November 2004) -- so both of those are from when people called it "executable pseudocode", right? At the least t…

I for one would be interested in a worked example for how you think this could be better, maybe as part of the internals thread? https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/blog-post-rustac…

I only use feature flags for features that require an additional dependency, or for features that really require a whole lot of extra code.

Yes, homophobia is a thing even in NL; what I think the GP post was trying to point out is that there’s been no connection between inline skating and any particular sexual orientation in NL. That ring…

It’s not just Fly IIRC, the official macOS Wireguard also relies on userland Wireguard (wireguard-go), as does Tailscale.

Rush sounds interesting, but the README is pretty sparse. Do you know more context/background?

I mostly live in the Rust world, not the Python world, but I worked on two Python packages wrapping over my own Rust libraries and it's been pretty great. https://github.com/Insta…

Writing Python packages in Rust with PyO3 is pretty awesome, though.

Your praise for Rust combined with the list of Julia problems left me curious what you find redeems Julia even though it has all these problems.

Huh, they're running now. I guess it's "just" being very slow.

I don’t find the browser example particularly compelling. In the case that Firefox/Chrome would have been closed source (but free to use), the web browser history might have been largely similar.…
