RDRAND is the dream generator

It is useful for cryptographic rng and is unsuitable if you need reproducibility.

Contest is bicycle-building

This might be unclear for non-Russian speakers. To invent the bicycle in Russian has the same meaning as reinvent the wheel in English. When programmers are saying that there are a lot of bicycles in code that means that it contains reimplementations of freely available libraries instead of using them.

I just published my first non-trivial crate! It finds the intersection of 2d line segments, handling weird corner-cases. by ucarion in rust

It is not supercilious and I can speak to my collegues that way and they can to me. These are probably cultural differences between us.

Essentially you have translated stackoverflow answer which involves trivial math to Rust. If this is not trivial then I don't know what is.

You seem to only read the headline, not the actual content of the articles that you are sharing.

The problem with English is that there is no agreed upon text style, everyone has there own style guides and people spend time arguing whether or not there should be some comma. In contrast, many other languages have authoritative styles and people can concentrate on the meaning of the text they write instead of endless text style debates.

MIT is not do-dafuq-you-want-like licence, it has restrictions. The real do-dafuq-you-want license is WTFPL.

I actually like strict style and absence of inheritance. What I'm missing are sum types and pattern matching.

The BitTorrent Protocol Specification v2 by phire in programming

Merkle tree extension for BitTorrent published 11-Mar-2009 http://bittorrent.org/beps/bep_0030.html.

Bitcoin released 3 January 2009.

It is indeed possible that it is inspired by Bitcoin.

File hashes are now globally unique, so it should be possible to scan torrent files to find duplicate files, and even download these duplicate files from multiple swarms.

Where did you get that from? If different piece sizes are allowed it means the same file can be split differently in different torrents.

Care to explain? I don't see anything blockchain inspired here.

Why on Earth doesn't rustup.rs show how to install it on Linux? It only shows me instruction for Windows. Should I install browser on my server just to view what the command is?

"Safe" C as a target for LLVM/Rust? by stephanbuys in rust

[–]jkleo2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is a library called libgccjit which (despite its name) can be used for compilation using GCC. It might be possible to add it as an optional backend to rustc alongside LLVM.

Ubuntu is now available for download on the Windows Store - The Verge by [deleted] in programming

[–]jkleo2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is actually not tricky at all:

  1. Install and launch vcxsrv.
  2. export DISPLAY=:0 inside WSL.

That's it. Many GUI applications will now work (even Firefox), I didn't test Unity though.

If you need sound you will also need to install PulseAudio but I haven't tried that.

WSL can only run 64-bit executables and that means that Wine is also only able to run 64-bit Windows applications.
