This isn't particular of Rust. Nim also forces you to deal with all possible branches of a case statement. I'm pretty sure other languages do so as well. This is just basic type safety stuff.

Start? You already have to disconnect form the network to be able to use the "offline account" option in the installer (last I checked, which was like a couple of months ago). So this has been going on for a while. Edit (merge the

Clickbait headline. Facebook was not "blocked" - they voluntarily halted the rollout of the feature themselves. NOBODY told them to do this. Reading between the lines, someone at Facebook's legal department was asleep at the

Did you read the article at all? The European Union is already planning to introduce a temporary ban on facial recognition in public spaces - PRECISELY because the technology is being rolled out throughout European cities without first asse

I've only toyed with D a bit. IMHO, if you come from a typical OO programming language background (which to me includes C++, Java, Python...), the majority of D will immediately feel familiar, and to a great extent, obvious. The syntax

Well, that sucks. IMHO, Logitech has (or is it had?) pretty outstanding hardware. I had two RumblePad 2 (the original ones) that survived over 10 years of abuse (buttone mashing, dropping, rage due to losing to my brother 30 times in a row

This is the old "announce an inquiry" ploy. This should be familiar to anyone who has watched "Yes, Minister" - or has paid any attention at all to anything ever made in public. Basically, someone "blows the whistle

Fun. BTW, I tried a bunch of single word titles (example: red, green, blue, title), and I always seem to get the same result: Bad: 0.4528 - Good: 0.5472 So, apparently, if you want to maximize your "score" with the lowest mental e

That isn't an official communication from Mozilla. That is "someone's" recollection of something "someone" said (or not) at some workshop: "Fair warning: I don't speak for Mozilla. Everything I say he

You won't be laughing for long, I believe. See this FAQ: https://blog.mozilla.org/addons/2019/09/03/mozillas-manifest... Note how they say: "We have no immediate plans to remove blocking webReq

Seems like a real missed opportunity to look at the Python stdlib and add a bunch of missing functionality to JS so that people don't have to import a metric ton of third party libraries (or worse, write it themselves) to add something

Define "one go". Keepassxc auto-type allows you to add a delay between writing the username and writing the password. Works just fine for me in these "two step" login scenarios. Edit to clarify: This is what I am talking

This "accident" didn't happen in isolation. Firefox already ships with telemetry enabled by default, superfluous closed source components (pocket) and a remote control mechanism which Mozilla has already abused "for fun&

The irony is strong with this one. By default, Firefox: - Collects a bunch of telemetry data via several mechanisms and ships them to Mozilla HQ - Provides Mozilla with remote code execution privileges on your machine via the shield (or nor

How so? Google has already been found guilty of Copyright Infringement (and then admitted it by invoking the "fair use" defense). They are in the hole already. This is just ironing out the details of how much Google is in the hole
