That's not the same thing.


Right, because it's an apt analogy.


Xiang?


Autocomplete from Xi probably.


yes, thank you


Definitely can't rule it out as a factor.


this is great for nim, really cool language that could use the support.


When some websites are 5mb after all ad.content is loaded. It's doesn't seem that much


It isn't the size that is the problem as much as that it is on the critical path for every image that uses it and that it does not support progressive rendering or rendering parts of the image as the file is downloaded. go to https://bellard.org/bpg/lena.html and set your browser to throttle to GPRS speeds and you will see a pretty huge difference.


How does this compare to the Rust Programming book?


Programming Rust has 21 chapters and is 583 pages long. I’ve read it, and I’ve also read the online Rust Book (both several times). Most chapters are in the order of 20 to 30 pages long. Programming Rust is one of the best programming books I’ve ever read, and I’ve been coding professionally since 1997. If you want to get an A+ in Rust read Programming Rust a few times. You can see the entire Contents section of the book on Amazon. Below is a list of chapter titles from Programming Rust that get little to zero coverage in this Learning Rust website.

Ownership. References. Expressions. Error Handling. Enums & Patterns. Operator Overloading. Closures. Iterators. Collections. Strings & Text. Input & Output. Concurrency. Macros. Unsafe Code/FFI - the coolest part, they show you how to create a safe wrapper around libgit2.


There are two books with similar titles and I'm under the impression that you don't talk about the one the OP had in mind:

https://www.amazon.com/Rust-Programming-Language-Steve-Klabn...

https://www.amazon.com/Programming-Rust-Fast-Systems-Develop...

I think both are good books, I already have the second one and preordered the first.


I assumed he’d misnamed the book, switched the words around, as your first link points out (“The Rust Programming Language”), there isn’t actually a book called “Rust Programming”, and “Programming Rust” seemed like the closest approximation.


My target is preparing a short and sweet way to learn Rust.



Where in that article is it said that the padding of agriculture numbers and subsequent massive overestimates were the cause of the 50M deaths?


It's in the section on Famine [1]. Main article [2].

> Although actual harvests were reduced, local officials, under tremendous pressure from central authorities to report record harvests in response to the innovations, competed with each other to announce increasingly exaggerated results. These were used as a basis for determining the amount of grain to be taken by the State to supply the towns and cities, and to export. This left barely enough for the peasants, and in some areas, starvation set in. A 1959 drought and flooding from the Yellow River in the same year also contributed to famine.

> During 1958–1960 China continued to be a substantial net exporter of grain, despite the widespread famine experienced in the countryside, as Mao sought to maintain face and convince the outside world of the success of his plans.

Thanks.


The wiki links to a French article which has quotes from the author of this book: https://www.amazon.com/Maos-Great-Famine-Devastating-Catastr...


I agree. I also take issue with it's content, I think all the points made are very shallow and not necessarily correct.


its content


no. code switching is mixing multiple languages, often in a single sentence.


That's one definition, but it has expanded into "Both in popular usage and in sociolinguistic study, the name code-switching is sometimes used to refer to switching among dialects, styles or registers" according to(1)

This has happened to me as well.
