It's so you don't have to tether your phone. It might cost you another data plan, but it makes it very convenient to just open your laptop and start browsing the internet in the train or something.

How do you handle failures in constructors without exceptions?

You can only install this on windows in a VM (like Virtual Box). You also can't install it directly, you would need a Linux distribution as well. It would be easier to wait until Ubuntu or Fedora releases a new version which contains this version of GNOME. Desktop Environments on Linux are basically GUI themes.

I think you have to upgrade your laptop often or you won't keep up with the increasing requirements of software. I have a similar flow as you do (tons of apps, tabs, Linux workspaces, code compiling, video running etc). I also get easily annoyed when I do some basic stuff and all of a sudden the computer lags behind, is stuck etc.

in the end I went with a desktop computer (if you have the space and you don't mind losing portability - I also have a Dell XPS in a pretty good shape for when I need it). It does waaay better when it comes to multitasking, never gets sluggish, much easier to upgrade, no throttiling/overheating problems, cheaper.

> In that research, Rust had the same overall count of bugs and even some 'zero day' sort of ones not any different from C++ and C codebases (maybe just better than the C one).

That's actually not entirely true. One of the problems was the program taking too long to compete due to suboptimal algorithm. The GitHub repo showed that the tests were run using debug version of the Rust binary. It worked fine when people tried to reproduce using the release version.

For the other two problems, not many details were given, but both programs panicked immediately with the given input. That's still better than any kind of undefined behaviour or silent error.

Works here on Firefox 74.

Is there also a repository associated with this website? I'm a bit curious how the rendering on canvas code works.
