From what I understand the need for a "proof-of-concept" comes from the fact these codecs/drivers often using memory unsafe "tricks" to increase performance and therefore need to be properly tested on a myriad of hardware to make sure the conversion to memory safe code isn't a significant performance impact.

> I was right: it was a risk, and it did slow us down. However, by being forced to use Rust, we ended up with a better design that was safer and easier to debug, and it was just as fast as the C++ equivalent. In the long run, it was a massive win. We’re all in love with Rust now, and 5 years later we’ve replaced nearly all of our non-Rust code (mostly Go) with faster, safer, and better-architected Rust equivalents.

Seems like a win?

Wow I really like that little mini-map on the right...

Can't even view a thread without logging in now, got to hand it to Musk for reducing my Twitter usage from passive to non-existent.

Hence the inclusion of the statistics for the United States also.

sure, but only because HN is mostly men working in tech. these types of features are far more popular among women. (not all women of course)

It's intentionally confusing but "not-for-profit" and "non-profit" are two very different things and it seems the article gets them confused.

I'm glad you specified in your first comment on this site that you're not CIA otherwise I would have been suspicious.
