Exactly why IMHO the rust stdlib is so easy to understand. Ownership only when required as a design principle tends to make the design of the overall system more consistent / easier to approach.
I was involved with the London esports scene from 2010 to 2014, running events that would gather up to 500 people for blizzard and valve games.
I left the scene because I could not morally justify the exploitation of the majority of the talent. I hoped that the younger guys would be finding a way to make it work for the majority but it still irks me how many years have been wasted by young adults on a wild goose chase. Some very few were able to make a living out of it and deserve 100% what they pulled, but man, what a churn in that industry.
Devastated that TB / Odee didn't get to manifest a vision for player's union. That would have made a difference.
Hi, do you know if there's a recent hash benchmark I can look into? I am using `FnvHash` as my go-to non-crypto-secure hash for performance reason, didn't realise there could be faster contenders.
I wholeheartedly agree - I am working on a very technical new build at the moment and cannot listen to music when coding for it, but when I switch to maintaining stuff, I reach-out for my headphones.
`SmallVec` allocates a contiguous array in the struct holding the vector itself (so it can be located on the stack), then if the capacity is insufficent, fallbacks to a heap-allocated `Vec` equivalent.
The `Vec` struct contains the capacity and used length integers, as well as a pointer to the heap-allocated storage.
There's a new feature where you can now build your own generator by cherry-picking stems from the entire catalog (192 generators as of last week's count).

Just looking at my uber rides, I am pretty certain Uber could already infer some interesting facts about my life.
Cross-referencing with geo-data, time, and weekly occurences, I am pretty sure Uber could infer who's in my social circle, and under which category (coworker, wife, arm-candy...)
The day Uber links its userbase with Facebook we are doomed.
