> I really do wish that Rust would provide nice alignment guarantees (eg 32 byte) without depending on customizing the allocator, and builtin, safe, SIMD instructions

Same could be said about C/C++. I'm guessing the answer is much simpler: the author(s) are comfortable with C++. And they probably don't deploy much rust code yet.


It doesn't need to be open source, no. It will host anything in the repo as static content, even if the repo is private.


I'm assuming the argument is that at home, you'd just recharge from your house's power. So the use case is diminished in that sense.


Sounds like a niche that might work for you guys. I'm guessing the people who need that kind of fuel intersects nicely with "people who don't have time to fill up" and are willing to spend some extra money for convenience.


Plus there are very few stations which carry that fuel -- maybe 6 in the bay area.

it's a several trillion market, loots of room for "me too plus some functionality extra" companies, or simply a better product than competition.



2005. Long before it existed actually.


Fourier transformations clicked for me from your previous articles, this outline really shows the skill of "sharpening" rather than "building" knowledge. Helpful for young kids to adults alike.


I had the same experience. However later when I encountered new properties of fourier transforms, such as the convolution theorem, fast fourier transform and the fourier transform of boolean functions, I felt my acquired intuition no longer fitted. Did you also experience this? If so, how did you get past it to that "next level"?


Yes, a password manager likely negates this kind of attack. Although the timing info likely gives away that you're using the auto-fill (which isn't useful, just interesting)
