Install pdflatex ubuntu

PdfLatex is a tool that converts Latex sources into PDF. This is specifically very important for researchers, as they use it to publish their findings. It could be installed very easily using Linux terminal, though this seems an annoying task on Windows. Installation commands are given below.

  • Install the TexLive base
sudo apt-get install texlive-latex-base
  • Also install the recommended and extra fonts to avoid running into the error [1], when trying to use pdflatex on latex files with more fonts.

Static vs Dynamic dispatch

AKA: Why is consuming an Iterator from glutin so damn hard?

In Rust, like many other languages, there are two different ways to call a function: static and dynamic dispatch. They're used in different scenarios and each have their own pros and cons, which are summarised thusly:

  1. Static calls tend to be faster because they do not require the use of a lookup table, which incurs overhead as the compiler has to 'find' the function it is calling at runtime.
  2. Dynamic calls tend to be more conservative of space as they can be re-used. This isn't so much an issue with functions like strcpy, but with functions that have multiple types of arguments (generics, for example), the code for the function must be duplicated.

Looking at npm projects that are good candidates for being re-written in rust / webassembly!
