Yeah, security is in layers and userland isn’t automatically “safe”, if that’s what you’re pointing out. So I did mention non-superusers. Separating the kernel from userland applications is also critically important to (try to) prevent non-superusers from accessing APIs and devices which only superusers (or those in particular groups) are able to reach.
Well hopefully you can’t harm your computer with userland programs. Windows is perhaps a bit messy at this, generally, but Unix-like systems have pretty good protections against non-superusers interfering with either the system itself, or other users on the system.
Having drivers run in the kernel and applications run in userland also means unintentional application errors generally won’t crash your entire system. Which is pretty important…
It helps with compile time. I don’t know why exactly rust macros are slow, and precompiling them helps. Unfortunately, it means distributing a binary along your build process which I personally think is not worth the few seconds of build time speedup.
Btw I do think it is a technically clever solution to improving build times. I’m convinced serde’s author is trying to improve the project and this does address one of the common complaints. Clever solutions are not always the right ones though.
This article is quite restrained while more mainstream media writes about a “potential fifth force of nature”. E.g. https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-66407099
At least it seems we may find out relatively soon which is the right answer.
Great comment. However let’s not forget the history of many exotic materials which were made practical to manufacture after their useful properties were found. Consider many types of semiconductors, blue LEDs, carbon fiber, etc. All once super expensive but now commonplace. This makes me at least somewhat optimistic that if a material is useful enough (and a superconductor would be revolutionary) fabrication will be solved. Hopefully.
Install the Mono package using the package manager. Then you should be able to copy your application to the NAS and run it in a terminal.
Same here. Lifelong tinnitus in one ear without measurable hearing loss. Presumably due to a severe ear infection.
