Selon les statistiques officielles, établies par les parents eux-mêmes (source la plus fiable qui soit d’un point de vue strictement scientique), sur les 736 000 bébés nés en 2020, il y aurait très exactement 735 990 enfants HPI. Sur les 10 restant, 9 seraient THQI, selon les mêmes sources, et un serait mon fils.

Épatant, non ?

@loevenbruck Ce qui est très dommageable pour les enfants réellement HPI…

Même délire avec les personnes réellement allergiques au gluten etc.

2024 Edition Update, https://blog.rust-lang.org/inside-rust/2024/03/22/2024-edition-update.html.

> This is a reminder to the teams working on the 2024 Edition that implementation work should be finished by the end of May

The article lists changes of the 2024 edition, like Future and IntoFuture will be part of the prelude, RPIT lifetime capture, the gen new keyword etc. Interesting.

Can we just stop using bash and mute anyone arguing that bash is in fact good rather than an awful and unavoidable legacy dependency?

Really tired of putting up with this shitty pile of hodgepodge accumulated over decades when we have demonstrably better tools with acceptable levels of maturity.

@Elucidating @semitones I am curious: what would you recommend?

@Elucidating @semitones Good. I had the same in mind 😛.

Stabilize count, ignore, index, and length in Rust 1.80, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/122808.

Patch to stabilise meta variables in Rust (for macros). It’s really awesome.

Fediverse, what nonprofits do you donate to, and why did you choose them?

If you don't mind specifying, I'd love to know what region of the world you're from!

@metacosm Not even that. Just the freedom of landing my ideas somewhere, they will come alive.

Look ma, […] a new JIT compiler for PostgreSQL, https://www.pinaraf.info/2024/03/look-ma-i-wrote-a-new-jit-compiler-for-postgresql/.

The author explains how he is writing a new JIT compiler for PostgreSQL. The author uses a technics described in https://arxiv.org/pdf/2011.13127.pdf, called copy-patch. It’s an old idea with a new name, but it’s fun.

How I [the author of the article] reduced (incremental) Rust compile times by up to 40%, https://www.coderemote.dev/blog/faster-rust-compiler-macro-expansion-caching/.

The idea is pretty simple but clever: cache the output of proc macros, if it hasn’t changed, no need to recompile the associated code.

The author explains the caveat of this approach as not all proc macros are pure.

Well, well, well…

Iterate Over Parameter Packs in Swift 6.0, https://www.swift.org/blog/pack-iteration/.

The article explains a new feature of Swift 6: pack iteration.

Parameter packs is pretty smart on its own. Being able to iterate over them is excellent. That’s a much better ergonomics than variadic arguments in C.
