Interesting. The article states "The compiler prints the value as a given variable changes." -- surely it means the program does, and not the compiler?

At the end of the article he states that the next step is to work toward safe Rust.

Puzzling that the page has a headline declaring it "Proudly anti-fascist", but has nothing in the FAQ/About explaining what that means in this context.

Most of it is part of the core language now.

You can make a burner email account that doesn't track you around the web, and other places. Is it possible to do that with a Facebook account?

I have the same issue. My suspicion is that this is going to be analyzed as a serious safety concern at some point. It seems that headlights got much brighter to benefit the driver…

> It is still just calories in and calories out. The problem with this line of thinking is the "just". Sure, physics says it's calories in and out, and we all agree that mostly mak…

Presumably most of these are accidental, which makes that an ill-fitting term.

I made a similar call after an Amazon courier recently left two packages on the roadside nowhere near my house (where they are normally left at the door). They added instructions t…

I've always assumed that the answer is that due to the way email works, mail can, in certain (rare) situations, end up stuck in a queue somewhere between mail servers and not deliv…

In a world where CPUs now require microcode updates to run securely, it's not very obvious that this is bad behavior. Maybe erring on the side of safety here makes sense?

How does it spy on you?

How many of these items are not also available in a standard Linux configuration?

But it is. Dawkins' meme was an idea that spreads person to person. So are the modern internet-spread image macro memes. The catching on and spreading is what makes it a meme and n…

That may realign it, but it doesn't mean you're good at it. Maybe Joe-Z fails in the other direction, writes off tons of people as untrustworthy (incorrectly) for no reason, and ha…

Actually, I run Thunderbird on Linux and have frequent issues with it pausing and hanging on me. (Among other issues related to it seemingly just having trouble handling large amou…

The off-brand that invented x86-64? :)

If you're using Thunderbird 11, you are using a mail client full of security issues. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities...

> Crypto currencies are worthless unless they have an enormous amount of hashing power behind them. I think this is only true if you assume that crypto-currencies must be based on …

This article doesn't seem to explain why they have a hard dependency on a proprietary tool to flash the firmware. There are no alternatives to AFUEFI?

This sure looks like a crisis for a grocery store. It didn't say it was a crisis for the population.

Your assumption that "someone else paid for it" only holds if the price was directly tied to external costs and not their own profit.

They tend to be speed targets in many places, because if you drive under (or at) the speed limit in many places, you'll get hassled by aggressive drivers behind you, creating a mor…

How do you determine the dollar value if there aren't solid exchanges where people are buying and selling the coin?
