Lol, it took me a while to realize it's the compiler essentially saying "how high".

WRONG, PRIVATE!

Now drop and give me int(ceil(19.9))!

i dislike rust, but have to give them credit for helpful error messages. not quite racket level but impressive

What made you dislike it?

[–] embed_me@programming.dev 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's what makes us humans different from computers. We don't ask how high, we just do it. Now, if it were a C pointer it would jump anywhere from 0 to 2^32-1. That's why C is more suited for artificial intelligence than it might initially seem. Thanks for coming to my tedx talk

Pointers are ackshully 48 bits on amd64 (which is most PCs and servers)

[–] ___qwertz___@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

Well ackshully newer CPUs support 5-level-paging which uses 56 bits.

I do enjoy the rust compiler error messages. They are nicely formatted

[–] 30p87@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, but to observe such error messages you'll basically need to wait for 20 mins for it to compile.

[–] PlexSheep@infosec.pub 1 points 4 months ago

No? The steps are compiled once and afterwards your project just gets compiled. Besides, rust-analyzer exists.

Height should be a float

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Chad quantised rust

[–] crispy_kilt@feddit.de 0 points 4 months ago

Never use floats.
