What on earth is @typescript's noUnusedLocals deal? How is const _x: never = foo; an error, but const [_x]: [never] = [foo]; fine?

That's a normal amount of @rustlang features that have been stable for a day to use at the same time, right?

Apparently creating (subnet) masks bit by bit with LLVM is a really bad idea. (also happens with equivalent C, gcc is fine) godbolt.org/z/5oe1qfc5f

Compiler Explorer - Rust (rustc nightly)

pub fn netmask() { for i in 1..=32 { let mask = !0 << (32 - i); println!("{i}: {mask:b}"); let mut mask = 0u32; for j in 0..i { mask |= 1 << (31 - j); } println!("{i}: {mask:b}"); } }

Pretty exited about scoped threads being re-introduced to the #rustlang standard library. It's a really nice abstraction for fork/join style parallelism. github.com/rust-lang/rust/is…

So… I misplaced all my USB Storage and wanted to install Arch on a Win 11 UEFI Laptop. Surprisingly simple: 1. Open PowerShell as Admin 2. mountvol X: /S 3. copy ipxe-arch.efi to X: (in PS) 4. Add boot option for it from UEFI Setup 5. Disable Secure Boot 6. Start the Setup

What does @risc_v and @bbcdoctorwho have in common? Today, @BBCLearning and @gotynker joined forces to bring coding education to students with the BBC Doctor Who HiFive Inventor, powered by @SiFive’s robust RISC-V-based processor. Read the release here: bit.ly/3fgHzn1

I hate when people loudly and confidently complain about documents, when they didn't understand or actually read them. Be it standards or resolutions. Get your facts first *grml*

I kinda want a warning for things you can (potentially) do LICM on. It's nice as an optimization, but really helps readability in/reasoning about the source as well.

From the start I was afraid of Trump's framing after his COVID-19 recovery. Still he managed to do worse than expected. "Just get infected. You'll be back on your feet in no time. We have the greatest healthcare. I've lived it." It is sickening rhetoric. Unfortunately literally.

Anybody else occasionally muse about how weird C's void is? It's a type with zero values that can not be instantiated. Still you can create valid pointers to it. You can (syntactically) even return it.
