Not worth it for the $0.10 return. Put more down there to incentivize.

In the intro I liked the precursors to the IBM "Thinkpad" name.

Yeah, I never knew that bit of history (probably did and just forgot it) and dug into it some after watching this.

Or 0. Lua is in superposition, ready for the quantum computing age.


Tcl needs a special command for tail calls though, instead of it Just Working (tm). It's kind of awkward.

I had a friend who had a Honda (edit: actually, Toyota iirc) for ~15 years that didn’t know it had oil; So when they sold it and was asked how often the oil was changed, the potential buyer was met with a quizzical look. Tires and gasoline and window washer fluid was its maintenance.


I coworker of my mother some 20-25 years ago bought a new car. Drove it until it stopped and refused to go further. Called some road service who upon inspecting it announced that she had run out of gas. She was surprised, "Cars still need to be refueled??!!".


I find that a bit hard to believe. Someone in that family knew and took care of it sometimes.

The longest I've seen a used car go without an oil change was 40k miles and it was changed when it started making noise instantly on startup. That was basically 90k to 130k. Sure 0 to 40k would go a bit better.. but not 15 years of typical driving.

Between carbon blowby, gasoline dilution, oil burning at the rings/cylinder walls even if minimal, no car is making it 15 years if the person drives more than 5k miles a year IMO.


I wouldn't believe it either unless I heard it directly from my earnest friend who learned at that moment:

1) cars have oil

2) said oil should be changed regularly


Unless they were driving very very low miles per year, they are simply incorrect. A car isn't making it over 100k miles without an oil change IMO, even a Toyota.

Similar to how this person went most of a lifetime without noticing and wondering what oil change businesses, advertisements, coupons, etc were for... They also didn't notice someone in their household or a service provider of some kind (brakes, tires, idk) changing their oil.


I thought preheated was the LEAST shocking to devices in the oven, otherwise they're in the cold oven (fine) until you start heating and they take the full energy from the elements trying to get the env to temp(not good). I guess too it would depend what the dishes are being set on in the oven - wire rack versus pizza stone/steel, ... I wouldn't think the hot air (poor conductor) would be as shocking as the direct energy from the full-on elements.

Unless your mac&cheese was premade, put into the fridge, then directly into the oven at cook time?


> Rusts tooling is hands down better than C/++ which aids to a more streamlined and efficient development experience

Would you expand on this? What was your C tooling/workflow that was inferior to your new Rust experience?


Not the GP, but the biggest one is dependency management. Cargo is just extremely good.

As for the language tooling itself, static and runtime analyzers in C and C++ (and these are table stakes at this point) do not come close to the level of accuracy of the Rust compiler. If you care about writing unsafe code, Miri is orders of magnitude better at detecting UB than any runtime analyzer I've seen for C and C++.


I do not think package management should be done at the level of programming languages.


Strictly speaking, Cargo isn't part of the Rust programming language itself. Cargo is a layer on top of Rust, and you can use the Rust compiler completely independently of Cargo. I think bazel, for example, can compile and handle dependencies without Cargo.


I agree, it should be done at the project level - that is, if you care about portability, reproducibility, deployment, etc.


Pacman is extremely good, too, for C. :)


Pacman solves a different problem. Cargo manages your project's dependencies, not system packages.


I know, but often that is all you need for C.


Made this mistake w VirtualBox once - never again. I ended up somehow running the proprietary version which “phoned home” and some 30 or 60 days later corporate got a call. When it comes to Oracle, I take Nancy Reagan’s advice [0].

How does mimalloc telemetry compare to jemalloc?


> light beans == more caffeine

For any single lot. Different varietals can have different caffeine levels -- so one can imagine a dark-roasted high-caffeine bean having more caffeine than a light-roasted low-caffeine bean.
