I believe the video game industry (and other industries where code co-exists with large binary assets) mostly uses Perforce and Mercurial

> I hope I was able to show, too, that I don't consider Rust the perfect, be-all-end-all programming language. There's still a bunch of situations where, without the requisite years of messing around, you'll be stuck. Because I'm so often the person of reference to help solve these, at work and otherwise, I just thought I'd put a little something together. [emphasis mine]

As you can also see from the table of contents at the top of the article page, it goes through a great breadth of topics. And you can use that table of contents to jump to the afterword.

I'm using this comment as jumping point.

What's cost/opportunity to optimizing for a specific platform/instruction set ? At what point is it worth doing, when isn't it worth doing ? AVX-512 strikes as something... "ephemeral".

Isn't it the case that only 1 in X soldiers actually fires their weapon ? I think vaguely remember something to that effect.

My intuition tells me that nowadays, if you can embed an arbitrary program "keylogger" onto a computer, it should also log most user events, not just "keyboard events", including screenshots of areas around mouse clicks, maybe a small OCR module etc.

Of course, a physical keylogger is a different beast, but really, if you got physical access enough to install an actual piece of hardware...

But if there's a keylogger installed, why would the same keylogger not take regular screenshots ?

I think it's a rhetoric device close the antimetabole.

That's probably one of the quotes I was thinking of but couldn't think of.

You can be optimist about your goals but pessimist about your means. There's probably any number of quotes from military strategists about that kind of thing.

> The kernel has to stand alone

Why ? (un-opionated "why")

To reuse the migrant melting pot metaphor used at the end of the article, the "kernel has to stand alone" seems to mirror the states wanting a "strong border" (while the idea of borders and states has a beginning and will surely end).

It's actually english going through a heavy compressor, vowels extended, consonants hardened.

Thanks :) that was why I asked here

Is there something similar to F1 but with autonomous cars ?

Just a race between autonomous cars, pitting teams of engineers directly against each other instead of via the human pilot.

I guessed that would involve some pretty different design of the cars, since without the human much of the current designs around safety wouldn't apply. Cars could go faster, slow less, take more risky trajectories.

There's RobotWars, but these always seem (currently) like a weird RC toys competitions.

FYI : wrong, so you can remove that "probably" from your mind.

In France, developers are amongst the most well off salaried people. A junior developper would already be well above the median income and amongst the top 30% earners.

Solar noon is much harder to "remember" since it varies so much over the year (and over the yearS)

It's a great article for "youngsters" with abolitionist ambitions relative to timezones (like I am/was)

Japanese animations studios seem equallly litigious.

Preamble : not saying you're wrong.

The idea of fighting ("[being] in a constant battle with") the compiler seems weird to me, the compiler is my automated helper, the stricter it is, the better I work and I thank it for correcting me.

Just to add to this comment, sometimes (often) the Rust's documentation(s) will point out footguns in C which is a valuable resources in & of itself.

From what I know, talent is usually cheap enough relative to the total cost of a game, it's the whole pipeline around integrating voice acting and motion capture into a game that's really expensive. In this[1] episode of that podcast they talk a bit about the costs around that. If you decide to do voice acting and motion capture you also have to adapt the whole game and writing around that decision, which balloons costs a lot since you've decided you want _that kind of game_.

Especially in that real law is left for judges to interpret, and that's a deliberate feature to allow "wiggle" room.

If you split your crate in small crates in a workspace you should see improvements in compile time.

> very first amendment

So, it's not, it's just the first change to an already existing document. The first article of your constitution describes the legislatives institutions. I (vaguely) know that, I'm not even American.

A cult of repeat group suicide sounds like something out of Terry Pratchett's Discworld.

FYI, if you're using Ublock Origin or something like it, you can block whole divs with it, wihtout another extension.

That's just a half an hour walk. It happens to also be about the distance between my apt and my parent's apt. It's a distance I walk very often.

I really like this tweet[1], which is bit cheeky, but gets also at the issue that everyone "basic" needs are actually different.

I'm exactly of this opinion, it's better for us (programmers/admins/etc) to deal with some level of breakage now (gigantic as it may be), than for actual users to deal with breakage with their future dates.
