The restrictions don’t seem very limiting. Why would I ever do this?

That’s a very good background and should be more than enough to understand the rust book. But if you do eventually want to go more into the theoretical background, I recommend looking towards type theory, specifically Algebraic Data Types (ADT) which Rust uses a lot, and Polymorphism (Generics). But it’s certainly not required to write good Rust code.

It’s wild that one of the problems is that the kernel doesn’t use floating point numbers.

Unfortunately not real, I would have loved to read into some of them.

There are much longer versions on the YT channel of Ivan Miranda who built it: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCF3cDM_hQMtIEJvEW1BZugg

It works by pushing out wrong marbles in the elevator so only correct ones for the current time make out to the queue.

We need to collectively realize that both Celsius and Fahrenheit are mostly arbitrary and not more than practical conventions to assign numbers to temperatures. Kelvin makes more sense but is impractical for daily use. It’s just US-Americans distracting from the fact that most of their units are objectively bad compared to Metric by pointing out that Celsius is only marginally better.

Yeah, that’s kind of what I thought, and if dynamic DNS is a problem then that already rules out self-hosting for me.

Thanks, the docs you linked really made it clear how the domain is connected in practice.

This is satire, right?

Is the point that they are just bots trying to appear natural?

I assume they decided not to publish on Steam because of their proximity to Minecraft, whose players are already used to having an extra launcher.

Could it be time for Al Khamenei to join Yanukovich and Assad in Putins closet?

Right, which occurs in particular when dealing with graphs, which are basically matrices and usually sparse. Large graphs are what I used this format for, however I also needed edge weights, so the first column was still required for that.

Well played, this should also teach the Russians not to play such stupid games in the future.

I want to add for context that the RDK (Russian Voluntary Corps), whose leader’s death was faked, is in fact a Russian neonazi formation that was formed to fight against the Russians and since 2022 actively take part in the war as a unit under Ukrainian command. The leader, Kapustin, was already widely known within the broader European far-right movement. All that is to say that the person this is about is far more than questionable, but at least right now he is fighting in the right side.

The CSR (compressed sparse row) format is a very simple but efficient way of storing sparse matrices, meaning matrices with a large amount of zero entries, which should not all occupy memory. It has three arrays: one holds all non-zero entries in order, read row by row, the next array contains the column indices of each non-zero element (and therefore has the same length as the first array), the third array indices into the first array for the first element of each row, so we can tell where a new row starts.

On sparse matrices it has optimal memory efficiency and fast lookups, the main downside is that adding or removing elements from the matrix requires shifting all three arrays, so it is mostly useful for immutable data.

The graph of Day 11, created with very little effort using the dot utility of graphviz. Because of a stupid parsing error I ended up with a cyclic graph, so this visualization helped in debugging.

That’s interesting that they look so different, but both look absolutely delicious. Weird how apparently some people in this comment section are unfamiliar with the concept of cheese.
