I wish `#[non_exhaustive]` worked with struct update syntax
https://shift.click/blog/non-exhaustive-fru-sad/
Published: April 10, 2024 07:00
It’s pretty annoying that in Rust, #[non_exhaustive] structs don’t support “struct update” / “functional record update” syntax (the syntax that powers Stuff { a: b, c: d, ..blah }).
Why is there no realloc that takes the number of bytes to copy?

I’d like a variant of realloc that takes the number of bytes that should be copied, in the case a copy is needed.

In an effort to post more, I’m going to start posting shorter (and frankly, lower effort) blog posts known as “Codelets”.
Futex-likes

Published: January 4, 2021 08:00
Most major OSes offer some form of futex-like functionality at this point. Some of these are a bit obscure and hard to remember, though, so I thought I’d write some stuff about them down so that I can refer to it or link it later.

If you’ve ever thought “Using a Mutex<[f32; 3]> is pointless, what’s the worst thing that could happen here?”, I’ve written the Cell type that empowers you to find out the answer to that question yourself.
