A shame that you would waste your money on a browser that nobody would use.

If they turn yellow that's a pretty good indicator that you have a problem. Other than that, probably not?

Sure, depending on how far you want to go into the future, eventually the sun will grow so bright that all our water will boil away... but barring a catastrophe that destroys (almost) all life (nearby supernova, collision with a large space

A "lock" in programming generally refers to a mutex, semaphore, or similar mechanism implemented mostly in software, e.g. see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lock_(computer_science) . The distinction betwe

People often ask for "simplified x", but it's often not clear how they envision that. What would you remove from Rust to make it simpler?

Windows tends to have a case insensitive file system (although these days it's possible to deviate from this tradition). For files the case being important thing isn't really a thing there.

You could argue that but as you expect your opponents would quickly paint you as being pro-X. Every decent person would prefer zero child abuse, but few people would support having mandatory police surveillance cameras installed in every ro

It seems that Wikipedia refers to them as "Strings as records"[1], which I suppose fits quite well. I suppose that C strings could be considered "the most" cache friendly since it has only 1 byte overhead instead of ho

What makes you say that? Besides C strings (pointer to characters, null-terminated) we have Pascal strings (pointer to length, followed by the characters), and then there is the variant that I'm not sure what it's called, that con

That issue is considered a feature by many. Don't send out broken web pages. If you don't build your pages using string concatenation you have already eliminated most problems (it's just like SQL, in that respect). XML parser

Nice gatekeeping. Perhaps you could provide some concrete examples of how Rust is worse than C++ for embedded programming, when it comes to "understanding the hardware and leveraging its power through good architecture and smart thinki

Why would that be a problem? They can either pay an expert (if they want someone to assess the "quality", whatever that may be) or just be happy with their pretty picture.

Of course you could also just stop drinking after a few beers without taking additional drugs.

As far as I am aware there is no theoretical limit that they cannot surpass, but of course they are limited in practice by the available mass, and how fast they can consume that mass; a lot of mass ends up orbiting, instead of falling into

One far-fetched yet simple example would be an observer/observable pair, where the observable mutates observed properties inside its finalizer. The observable will usually contain a reference to the observer, but not the other way roun

I remember a question that was similar in nature; suppose you (accidentally of course!) drop a full but opened bottle of vodka in the sea. That night there is a huge storm that mixes all the water in the oceans so that the vodka is distribu

How do you see this work in practice, and wouldn't it just lead to calculating the deltas between three evils, the third being abstention? How would this be better than getting rid of the first-past-the-post system? We saw this is the

Fair enough. Can we meet in the middle and agree that this action, whatever the exact name, is of comparable moral badness as theft? :)

So if it turns out that your car dealer can remotely disable your car and they announce that starting September 1st, you will no longer be able to start it. You would not consider that theft? In this scenario it would also be very difficult

And if such posts were allowed/encouraged it won't be long before dozens of other people appear asking us to embrace Allah and his prophet, or whether we have accepted Jesus as our Lord and savior, … it helps nobody.
