On: How to Train Yourself to Go to Sleep Earlier

[phi-go]

Did you ever go to a sleep lab to have your sleep checked?

I didn't have this so extremely but could sleep pretty much any time during the day. Turns out I have sleep apnea. Now since using a CPAP machine, sleeping during the day is much less of a thing for me.

I understand gp to say that the database data is changed not the data in the event.

Surely, some data needs to change if a password is updated?

On: Lessons learned from a successful Rust rewrite

[phi-go]

Do you have source on that? I would like to know more. Not disputing this, just curious.

While we at it, someone argued that Zig is nicer than unsafe Rust: https://zackoverflow.dev/writing/unsafe-rust-vs-zig/

Thank you, appreciated!

To add on, unsafe Rust's main strength is the tools and the culture of encapsulating it well. It's probably the case that "well designed code that uses unsafe" is much safer overall, as you would expect for a memory-safe language. But it doesn't just come about from using unsafe.

They still need someone to write 75% of the code.

On: Several Russian developers lose kernel maintainers...

[phi-go]

I thought I read that they had enough maintainers already and so don't need to write any guides on kernel development.

On: Unit tests as documentation

[phi-go]

Doctests are tests they are not part of a release build. Also I don't believe there is a supported way to access code in doctests from the outside.

So (sadly?) no literate programming

On: Embedded Rust in Production?

[phi-go]

What's your point? Doesn't it only matter where things are now, not how long it took to get there? Or is this about more people knowing C++?

On: Julia 1.11 Highlights

[phi-go]

There is a talk on how this is possible due to multiple dispatch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kc9HwsxE1OY

[phi-go]

Most peer-review procedures I know of are actually double blind, so the reviewers do not know the author and vice versa. Only in the final publishing step do you add a name, should be easy enough to use a pseudonym.

[phi-go]

There are a few games that use LLMs and voice, they are usually hilariously janky.

Could you name some?
