Re:Great things about Rust that aren't just performance on Friday January 17, 2025 @12:04AM (#42734275)
there's a wrapper type, AssertUnwindSafe to get around it. The whole concept of unwind safety was a mistake so don't worry about using it

please no. that article is nonsense. this is all nonsense.
Re:The Safety-Critical Rust Consortium on Thursday June 13, 2024 @02:17AM (#40666481)
Unsafe is one of the most important things in rust. The point is that you stick all the unsafety into well marked areas that can be more easily checked.
Re:Mojo vs. Rust: is Mojo faster than Rust? on Tuesday February 13, 2024 @02:54PM (#39362047)
You don't actually explain why Mojo doesn't need Pin, you just say that it works. Does Mojo automatically fix up self referential pointers on moves or something?
Re:Why Rust helps even if you have to use a lot of `unsafe` on Saturday August 05, 2023 @09:09PM (#37017941)
Banning unsafe is actually really easy. Just one line `#![forbid(unsafe_code)]` at the start of your code.
Box operator isn't actually used in Box::new anymore. It's been replaced with a magic attribute, #[rustc_box]

Rust also tests all public rust code on github
Re:Rustup 1.25.0 on Friday July 22, 2022 @05:22AM (#32190141)
So to be clear, you want it to be harder to update the compiler? I cannot interpret "rustup seems to encourage that behavior" as anything else but that.

"pronoun people"

What, you cant handle queer people existing?

Re:C meeting is over. C23 added: on Monday February 21, 2022 @11:58PM (#30424148)
what does this mean? It sounds like you tried to make a funny programming insult, but it fell flat if that's what you were going for
Re:Rust 1.58.0 on Thursday January 13, 2022 @02:34PM (#29925609)
This can never happen with regular string literals. String literals have the type `&'static str` but formatting returns a `String`.
Re:My negative views on Rust on Monday January 03, 2022 @04:49PM (#29787447)
this study is extremely flawed. It is impossible to tell if these results are from the garbage collection or how bronze violates rust aliasing
ok sure whatever but what does this have to do with the article?

that doesn't mean abuse isn't an asshole move
Re:NPM – "is-even", 160k weekly downloads on Tuesday November 16, 2021 @01:08PM (#29244100)
Would be a lot less work if he didn't do this package splitting nonsense
Re:Python interpreter written in rust reaches 10000 commits on Wednesday November 03, 2021 @02:30PM (#29098553)
You can interpret its MIR (mid-level intermediate representation) like Miri or const evaluation does
or maybe it's because most people are not using tor browser and do not vote for links they can't open
RIP mutable noalias (again)
