Using the allocator interface is only required if you allocate, which in this context you explicitly don't. If you want to use static preallocated memory in Rust, you'd have to use #[no_std] and only have access to the…
Is it nonsense to say C doesn't have any protections?
Why do you recommend the living definition of not having any protections whatsoever for protection?
The funny thing is that Rust works perfectly fine with statically preallocated memory. It's not even against its idioms - most code will work with zero changes. In a way, the borrow checker is the perfect tool for this…
I like my datacenters like I like my railway infrastructure - covered in enough protective layer of rust that it will never suffer structural damage even when running for years under extremely heavy load.
If you literally want one and only one allocator instead of the Rust's built-in one, that's been supported for years[1]. Almost 8 years, to be precise. It's very easy to implement and works with the entire standard…
p<=0.05 is so easy to achieve for actual positive results (just increase sample size) that I don't think it's productive to treat any result with p>0.05 as positive evidence for any purpose other than deciding to rerun…
I'd say it's very sensible to assume absence up front before there's convincing evidence of presence. Sure, personal biases influence our evidence thresholds a lot, and often people demand unfair rigor that cannot be…
Evidence can be strong or weak. Every positive study result is evidence of presence, usually strong evidence. Every negative study result is evidence of absence, usually very weak evidence.
Note that we didn't call it junk DNA until we learned a whole lot about how DNA works and formulated a theory in which junk DNA doesn't do anything for good reasons. In a way, lack of understanding prevented us from…
These single letter names are getting out of hand.
Ah, the one where invalid assumptions lead to invalid conclusions. Got it. Explains the invalidity of your conclusions.
According to what logic?
Whether we like it or not, em dashes are effectively verboten in online discussions and blog posts if you want people to take you seriously. If the idea that excessive hyphenation is an AI tell gains traction, it too…

> Stealing electricity is already illegal. So is shooting a house with fireworks. I'm against a general ban on doingelectrical work yourself, and against a general ban on fireworks.
> How would you feel if your house burned down because your neighbor did something stupid? Probably the same way I'd feel if it burned down because my neighbor did some other stupid thing, like drive into it with a…
This kinda sounds like some middle ground between forced modernization of Eastern European countries (this isn't our tech but we could make it ourselves if we wanted to but we don't want to because it would be inferior)…

If code is predictable then it should be extracted into reusable functions/classes/modules and reused in accordance to DRY principle. I'm not a fan of this AI future where coding standards drop to the floor because…
There are cities in the US that have 2.5x the population density that Zurich does. Rural Texas might have this excuse, but New York City absolutely does not.

"Being online during the short time" heavily favors bots. In a way, AI screening tools saved us from the future of everybody buying resume-spamming-as-a-service because it became as important to use these as getting a…
Sometimes, the relevant timezone is whatever the local timezone was when and where the timestamp was recorded. Which is information that's lost on UTC conversion. Sure, you can reconstruct it if you stored the "where"…
