In the foreground a kid seems to be drowning. It is labeled “Useful information”.

In a second panel a skeleton sits at the bottom of the pool. It is labeled “The copyright year”

Yes, but

it's unsafe, therefore not really Rust I'd argue
it doesn't look as good

float Q_rsqrt(float number) {
   long i;
   float x2, y;
   const float threehalfs = 1.5F;

   x2 = number * 0.5F;
   y = number;

   i = * ( long * ) &y;
   i = 0x5f3759df - ( i >> 1 );
   y = * ( float * ) &i;

   y = y * ( threehalfs - ( x2 * y * y ) );
   return y;
}

Please don't tell me you, unironically, actually use the Carmack rsqrt function in the year of our Linux Desktop 2024.

Also if you like, you can write unsafe Rust in safe Rust instead.

No. But somebody may be.
