Rust has assert and debug_assert, which are self-explanatory. But it also has an assert_unchecked, which is what other languages incl C++ call an "assume" (meaning "this condition not holding is undefined behaviour"), wi

You don't de jure vote for a Prime Minister but you de facto do so. Please, don't pretend to be obtuse.

Evil is commiting atrocious acts for self-interest. This is a description of US foreign policy (not exclusively, of course). Killing 150 schoolchildren is unfortunately but a fraction of a drop in the bucket of atrocities committed by eithe

The European """Parliament""" can only reject laws, but not propose new ones.

No, but I vote for the Prime Minister. I don't vote for the European Commissioner or the President of the Council. What's idiotic is presenting these are the same.

"This is like the HN dropbox post" is now a whole class off low-effort comment in itself.

I wonder if it would be practical to have bot-blocking measures that can be bypassed with a signature from a set of whitelisted keys... In this case the server would be happy to allow Internet Archive crawlers.

Having no payoff is the payoff. After everything that's happened to him, he is killed offscreen and his son, now an adult, doesn't even quite remember him. The journey is the point, basically :) The scenes with the fellow "

This is a sign of a broken system. It's the old joke about paying someone to smash windows and someone to repair them, how that's great for The GDP.

You can make thousands of absolutely delicious vegetable dishes. You can adapt another few thousands by replacing the meat with veggies. Why the obsession about ultraprocessed "meat substitutes"?

Rape and child molesting is often, unfortunately, hard to prove in a court of law. This case is the opposite.

It's not even just incompetence, but malice. "AI says so" is going to be the perfect catch-all excuse for literally everything anyone might want to do that they shouldn't. You know how techbros love to excuse every hor

Definitely not. Rust gives you a tangible benefit in terms of correctness. It's such a valuable benefit that it outweighs the burden of incorporating a new language in the kernel, with all that comes with it. Zig offers no such thing

There's zero mention of hardware specs or cost beyond architecture and core counts... What is the purpose of this post? Anyway, it's hardly surprising that a young ISA with not a 1/1000th of the investment of x86 or ARM has s

LG TVs may be rooted. You probably can also run a pi-hole sort of thing to block any traffic except whitelisted domains. Not that I've done it, I don't get enough value out of it to justify the hassle or the privacy intrusion.

That's ridiculous, a radar that snaps a photo when a car goes over the speed limit is not , by any conceivable definition, a surveillance array. There are real surveillance arrays, please worry about those instead.
