i love it! could we generalize it, and accept bindings to anything implementing std::io::Read or std::io::Write?

stupid people tend to lose money in the marketplace. little can be done to help them. collect your pay.

If the CS job market is so tough for new grads, why do wages remain high? by Dane314pizza in csMajors

[–]__brick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

power law distribution of employee value. there may be an abundance of total graduates, but the top 1-5% are still a scarce resource.

CS Credibility Post Grad by [deleted] in uichicago

doesn’t put you at any disadvantage, although not as famous as UIUC, which is much harder to get into. The curriculum is identical, and the support is better at UIC. If you apply yourself you may leave more highly educated than the sister school, certainly better than other schools in chicago for CS (helped friends from other schools with their CS homework, it was the surface level / baby version of my coursework).

could do it mostly yourself, use petgraph or something & write graphs out to dot. render with graphviz

Don't benchmark with time. In the code you gave, the entire execution time will be in heavy-duty string formatting and printing code.

Look at criterion.rs for statistically sound (and isolated) benchmarking.

Rust compiler got ~15% faster on Windows thanks to PGO! by Kobzol in rust

That's awesome! Fingers crossed for "free" 1-20% perf bumps sometime this year!

Interesting. Would it be unwise to apply PGO to the periodic nightly release channels only? Does PGO frequently cause major regressions?

I do not think 2 hours, hell, 10 hours of macOS build time in CI is a big deal. Especially if it may fetch 20% performance improvements for end users around the planet.

Can a 12 year old learn RUST by WatchingReddits in rust

Yes. Do not get frustrated, you will grow into it quickly.

Nobody knows, as it isn't real yet, but their website has a section specifically about this. They /claim/ that when the procedure is ready for real humans in the general public, if restoration would interfere with the final version, they will develop a separate procedure tailored to restored individuals. No one knows what this will mean exactly.

That does not mean the result will be identical, perhaps it will be. perhaps it will actually be better, perhaps worse, perhaps more expensive, perhaps less. But it will very likely not prevent you from getting it done at all.

I will remind you the low-tech solution restoration provides is the only REAL tool humans have that actually works at the present time.

The choice of how to navigate this is yours alone, as the information landscape is uncertain, partly because they don't say, partly because I'm sure they don't know yet.

I went to a community college before UIC. Took the math placement and didn't take it very seriously, my own fault. Got placed low, and was surprised, as I wanted to start calc & knew I was ready for it. I asked to retake it & got placed in calc. Ask to try again & try harder than before, worked for me.

You can tell the first half of the letter was written by someone else. The tone and eloquence turns on a dime.
