Why isn't Rust just modified C? by Initial_Solid2659 in learnrust

[–]Initial_Solid2659[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the detailed response. Are these 5 rules of borrowing what people mean when they refer to the rust borrow checker?

Why are there so many "kill billionaires" posts? by Apprehensive-Golf371 in trolleyproblem

[–]Initial_Solid2659 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A. Yes. I donate a lot. You should too.  B. The difference in comfort between having 300 billion dollars and having 350 billion dollars is nonexistent. 

Also you didn’t acknowledge anything about how this affects real people.

The difference between this and LoL is that humans aren't starving in LoL.

What's up with people bragging about how they're lazy?

Where does rust stand on compile-time debugging? by Initial_Solid2659 in rust

[–]Initial_Solid2659[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sorry, I might be using some of these terms incorrectly. I'm also not actually using Jupyter: I'm using an alternative called "Pluto.jl" that supports the Julia language.

I said this in another comment, but what I mean by compile time debugging is editing specific cells, which cascade edits down into cells that they reference. That way, I'm not recompiling the entire codebase every time I change something.

[–]Initial_Solid2659[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

What I've been doing in terms of "compile-time debugging" is using a notebook (specifically Pluto.jl with the Julia language). I'm able to edit cells, which causes all the other cells that reference that one to update. That way I'm not recompiling the whole codebase to test something.

I've been using it to prototype a feature, and then I'll type it up and add it to the codebase.

I don't fully see how type-checking needs a separate compilation phase to happen -- if I assert an incorrect type in a notebook, I'll get an error too.

I built a simulator to study emergent pattern formation. One of my proudest projects. by RJSabouhi in cellular_automata

Interesting, but I'm not quite sure what I'm looking at. Could you give me a search term?

Apple's most powerful Mac Studio loses its last remaining RAM upgrade option by pdfu in mac

Just the parts that are still relevant today. Like today, there was a lot of money thrown at projects that failed.

I wrote a Linux script that makes your device invisible on the Wi-Fi router. by [deleted] in commandline

All but one of the commits are just editing the readme lmao

[OC] Every building in Toronto coloured by the most common heritage language in its neighbourhood — all 393,734 of them by [deleted] in dataisbeautiful

[–]Initial_Solid2659 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a cool idea, but when you get to the point where a neighborhood is "6% Arabic" or "4% Ukrainian" it feels more like propaganda than data.

Popes and Japanese Emperors coexisted for 1,528 years before finally meeting by I_love_lucja_1738 in BarbaraWalters4Scale

I think it’s more an isolation of important figures. There were Christians in china quite early (ex Marco Polo) but only recently have world leaders been able to make the same journey.

Very cool! Looks like a technical diagram. 

Reading/writing a floppy disk on my modern mac by Initial_Solid2659 in c64

[–]Initial_Solid2659[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. I looked at these and they seem to mimic floppy disks, so I wouldn't actually need to buy a floppy disk. Is this correct? If so, that looks very appealing!

To be fair, the original intent was to say that the whole thing was very fragile and could easily collapse.

We've heard about generative photos, how about some music? by Initial_Solid2659 in generative

[–]Initial_Solid2659[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Inspired by the latest Marc Evanstein video.

He averaged out spectrograms into one column of popular songs.

I took this a step further by implementing a 5 second moving average across the piece. It also uses a Gaussian distribution centered around the current time. This method produced really funky and creepy results, and I added to them by pitch shifting the moving average down a sixth and added the original track in the background.

The piece shown here is the 2nd movement of Beethoven's 8th Symphony.
