Большинство статей про Rust заканчиваются на borrow checker и lifetimes, как будто внутри компилятора живёт только проверяльщик заимствований и злой шрифтовый дизайнер для сообщений об ошибках. На деле там целый зоопарк механизмов, о которых редко пишут даже на конференциях. Я собрал несколько по настоящему любопытных вещей, которые меняют представление о том, как устроен язык изнутри, и подкрепил каждый сюжет кодом, который можно скопировать и проверить самому.Начнём с того, чего никто...

BrianFagioli writes: Notepad++ has finally made its way to macOS, and this time it is not through a compatibility layer. A new community-driven port brings the long-standing Windows text editor over as a fully native Mac application, built with Cocoa and compiled for both Apple Silicon and Intel systems. Instead of relying on Wine or similar tools, the project replaces the Windows-specific interface with a macOS-native one while keeping the... Read more ›

An anonymous reader quotes a report from Ars Technica: In January, the European Commission began an initial investigation, known as a specification proceeding, into how Google has implemented AI in the Android operating system. The results are in, and the EU says Android needs to be more open, which is not surprising. Meanwhile, Google says this amounts to "unwarranted intervention," which is equally unsurprising. Regardless of Google's characterization of the... Read more ›

Researchers say infrasound -- low-frequency vibrations from things like pipes, HVAC systems, and traffic that humans can't consciously hear -- may help explain why some old buildings feel unsettling or "haunted."

In an old building, there is a good chance that... Read more ›

He created a LinkedIn page for the home, describing the move as a "diversification play" because he is "under-concentrated in AI investments relative to the importance of AI in the future, and over-concentrated in real estate." A young Anthropic employee, Duncan says, might be "in the exact... Read more ›
