About ~16k people are murdered every year in the US, however I would assume you think it's worthwhile to try and do something about that

Being combative rarely works out the way you want to, at least in my experience. That being said, it's still important to have standards beyond just empathy. I hope that Linus, and the Linux community can "do both" in some se

One issue is that at scale, communication costs dwarf almost every other cost. So, sending objects between nodes isn't as critical as you might think it is for distributed systems. (I was also in Norm's class! It was awesome, and

This has to be one of the most dishonest pieces of writing I've ever read. Why stick the thesis, namely: "envy and resentment are good," at the bottom? Why pepper the article with Marxist terms like "late capitalism&quot

>fundamental types like Vector are implemented with unsafe That's kind of the point, though: Vec provides a safe interface over behavior that would otherwise be unsafe. You could as easily complain that C is fundamentally implemente

I mean by that logic, no progress is possible at all in programming languages, because at some point every language had worse tooling than the competition. I'd say the greatest part about Rust is the community, which realizes all of th

I find the claim about there being no rational actors a bit odd. If that's the case, then how do economies work at all? At some level, most people must be able to act in their own interest to some degree.

The difference with that go code is *DexFile is like Arc<DexFile>, and not like &'a DexFile<'a>. Yes, the go code is more readable, but it comes with additional overhead and data ordering constraints that the Rust

I'm not entirely convinced that "plain text" is "simple." For one, utf-8 is a variable-length encoding, which can cause all sorts of subtle bugs and sometimes leads to security issues because somebody failed to pars

The thing about getting rid of prop 13 is you'd price out a lot of residents that bought a long time ago for something they don't have a whole lot of control over. If you thought that gentrification is bad now, churn in residents

The thing is, as a result of not being in the euro zone, the same sort of situation that Greece is in could not happen. In a way, it's really a disaster to have a monetary union without a fiscal union. However, the main benefit of the

Yeah, but lower-class wages especially are pretty flexible. This is especially true with temporary workers, and contract ones. In the end, it'll just mean less people get higher-paying jobs. This won't really matter anyways, becau

>because you're in control Realistically, who reads and reasons about every line of code that their system runs? For the most part, people don't ever really consider software beyond just installing it. In that case, maintainers

Yes, on x86 at least. There are special data structures that can only be initialized with special instructions, which you can't generate with normal C because they aren't useful for anything but initializing those special data str

The issue is that tobacco cigarettes are _much_ worse for your health than e-cigarettes. This doesn't mean e-cigarettes aren't unhealthy, but between the two there's a clear winner in terms of health outcomes. Sure, it denies

At least for the nightly builds, you can specify a closure to run when OOM happens. The only restriction is that it cannot return, but you can "recover" from panics in the nightly standard library as well. The thinking was, I thin

Congratulations, Python team! Your website is now identical to the hundreds of other bootstrap-based websites. Moreover, the page is somewhat confusing, especially with non-obvious menus, and language that makes links seem redundant. Multip

I'm relatively sure that every OS supports changing the keyboard layout without being root and for just one user, so unless your employer specifically disabled that, then that shouldn't be an issue. The point about the keycaps is

The title makes this out to be worse than it actually is: SA didn't actually ban all software under permissive licenses, but requires the use of non-free software to complete its courses. Though I'm not extremely in-tune with SA p
