We didn’t benchmark this project (yet) but previous c2rust translations had approximately equal performance to the original. This is to be expected since the transpiled output is unsafe Rust that is equivalent to the original C code. One caveat is checked va unchecked array indexing, but unless an array indexing operation into a statically sized array is hot _and_ the Rust compiler can’t elide the checks, that’s unlikely to make much of a difference.
I love Blink, it’s perfect for a remote emacs session. I use esc for alt, capture CTRL-space. You may have to rebind some control sequences, I don’t have that handy, but almost everything gets passed through. Only thing I can think of that doesn’t is F key sequences, and that’s probably for lack of trying.
Edit: this is with an external keyboard. YMMV with the on screen keyboard, but I haven’t noticed any issues the few times I’ve done quick edits with it.
Does that mean that it would support touch-verification on iOS?
[I bought half a dozen yubikeys with NFC last year for my family, setup and tested lastpass, extensively tested my android and PC... when it all fell flat on their iPhone. Whopsie!]
I'm very disappointed in this change. Having communication centralized in one place is important to me, and this means I cannot centralize on open, federated protocols.
There are often privileges and perks associated with being a patron of a certain creator. These perks aren't pro-rated, thus subscribing late in the month for a day or two might be a viable way to cheat this system. Personally, I don't think this is a huge deal, and, if this is their reasoning, it's a mistake.
You could even do it where you pay the full cost immediately, but the difference between that and the prorated cost counts as a credit to the next start-of-month payment.
eg. If there's a $100 reward tier and I sign up 60% of the way through the month, I immediately pay $100, then at the start of next month my $100 pledge is discounted by the $60 I overpaid for the previous month, so I only pay $40.
Effectively, it flips the first two months so you pay the full amount immediately but if you stay on for at least two months it all balances out in the end.
You assume that tuition is actually an "in kind" benefit. Most of that tuition money is not an in kind benefit at all. Rather, it is a way for the university to siphon off overhead from grant money. If you think of graduate students as apprentice workers, which is far closer to the truth than students, then taxing overhead costs is a ridiculous idea. We don't tax business expenses, why would we tax educational institution business expenses?
