> Point being, the tools have always existed, and always felt inappropriate or convoluted, but my parents at least were happy to do it for their kids 20+ years ago. From what you'r…

> I might be being overly cynical here, but I think part of the problem is parents expect to give their kids the internet so they don't have to spend so much time/attention with th…

Yeah I agree with that as well, the unsafe keyword takes on a double-duty which makes it unclear how it's actually intended to be used. The idea that you might mark a function that…

> But the bug is still almost always in an unsafe block. That's entirely dependent on how you write your Rust code. If you're derefing an invalid pointer then the bug is usually in…

I agree and would add to that from my experience: 1. Too many people think that having lots of text makes something impressive, really it's just inconsiderate and nobody is reading…

> A leap-hour, meanwhile: That kicks the can so far down the road that we'll probably lose track of it completely. 600 years is a very long time; society will be a very thing by th…

For me the problem is that the target performance is in a weird spot - low enough that it's not amazing, but high enough to still be very expensive if you don't plan to play games …

The government will release it with all the copyrighted code and assets that's owned by a bunch of third-parties? Ex. if I license my artwork, music, characters, code library, etc.…

> Wouldn’t it only require action from you if you were trying to kill multiplayer in the first place? It's a question of when, not if - you're not going to pay to keep the servers …

That doesn't sound that unlikely to me personally, not everybody has the best tech habits and some life events can result in losing access to both very quickly. It doesn't have to …

The point is that at a minimum you're supposed to bubble the `unsafe` up if the API does not guarantee safety is maintained for all cases (and documents the invariants that have to…

> Assuming the port is actually 1:1 without any behavioral changes It's not, that's clear from this kind of bug popping up. Functionally this bug exists because `PathString` was co…

> They already have the position of used buying and sales, extending that into in store receiving and listing of items on eBay makes sense. Why do they need to buy eBay to do that?…

Sellers what? You generally don't just drop stuff off at a fulfillment center, when you get to that size you're dealing with large amounts of inventory and you ship it to them. If …

Yes but I don't need to go to my nearest fulfillment center if they ship everything to my house, that's why I don't know where it is. What do you think people need to visit fulfill…

> Obviously they're going to need to liquidate a lot of this stuff. If you read online employees have talked about how they donated it or threw it all out, presumably there is very…

No, why does it matter? I also don't know where my local GameStop is since the few by me closed a couple years ago :P Plenty of stuff on EBay offers me 2 day shipping clearly via f…

Yeah this is the funny part to me - if you thought EBay was an amazing business then you could have just bought that stock months or years ago. Maybe the combined company will real…

Well let's be clear, the "trade-in anything" day was a fancy discount day. They gave everybody $5 for whatever they brought in, online you can read from employees that they just do…

Well I'd add to that - the real core feature is that the teacher and usually the textbook show you exactly how to use it, that's why it gets listed specifically as a course require…

It all depends on the CPU architecture, if it supports something like out-of-order execution then both parts of the CPU could be in use at the same time to execute different instru…

I think you're somewhat missing the point - if the code from A and B only works if joined with C, then you should squash them all into one commit so that they can't be separated. I…

In this case because Nintendo has an American branch (Nintendo of America) that imports their goods, Nintendo of America is who paid the tariffs and would get a refund. Consumers o…

I think the public funding aspect complicates this, NASA is probably not in a position where it can blow up a bunch of rockets and still get funding for the next year.

The problem is the messy in-between, plenty of people who talk to professionals or call hotlines don't know that their questions are dumb. The bot should at a minimum say "I have n…
