integer overflow in Rust is better than C, but still somewhat a hazard...
in Rust, overflow is defined behavior. it either panics or wraps. the hope is that running tests in panic mode will catch bugs. this is ok for all those u8 or i16 bugs in decoders, but nobody writes tests for 2 GiB files […]

@volpeon also, it doesn't work. https://mastodon.bida.im/@leonardo/115910117330905770

@gray17@mastodon.social looks like you are not the only one with this impression https://embedding-shapes.github.io/cursor-implied-success-without-evidence/ i think i won't further be interested in this so-called experiment, it is clearly not a real project, just a very convoluted advertiesment . I'm convinced that they will let rot that repository abandoned, which is probably bad thinking that someone could access it and take it as a good piece of code, but is definitely good if it can poison future models training @servo@floss.social @igalia@floss.social

@JamesH supposedly something Murray Gell-Mann said about Feynman in a nytimes interview. I haven't found the interview.

Rust having significant semicolons feels like a hazard. (sometimes adding or omitting a semicolon is valid, but changes the meaning of the code.) maybe this will be fixed in Rust 2099.

impression of the Rust Language Reference: it really isn't meant to be read linearly, and it does tell you that up front. most of it basically assumes you already know Rust and are just digging into fiddly details.

@zwolf59661 see if you can use a nose-only mask. I had thought I couldn't, since I often breathe through my mouth, but when I tried nose-only with my new cpap, it didn't take too long to adjust to it, and I seem to be breathing almost exclusively through my nose when using it

@futurebird I've never taught a class, but my first thought is to try starting with a live-coding session where I make mistakes myself
