We didn't? It must be a small minority of countries that dole out the same punishment for both.

The way I read their statements is simply that the it's the binary classification problem (is the user cheating or not) that should be done server-side. There's still data collection going on client-side. Given this, actually send

"Bias" here is just sentiment analysis. The report (from a conservative think-tank) is not about factual errors. Plus, the effect they find shows only for US politics, where there is really not much of a "left".

That's not how it works. When a state prosecution of a federal officer is removed to federal court, it's still the state prosecutor who's in charge. The problem is that as long as they were performing their duties they get a

Not really. We keep getting pointer-like types like std::string_view and std::span that can outlive their referents.

From what I read, blocking sunlight can hurt yields even more than the higher temperatures.

What's that have to do with it being a sovereign state? By that standard, neither Russia nor China are sovereign states. And it's not like the US gives a shit about democracy outside its borders. The CIA overthrew Jacobo Árbenz in

I think we can agree it's uncomfortable to read though: the font is too small, for instance. I had to use Firefox's reader mode.

If the state "confiscated" wealth derived from capital (AI) would that be OK with you?

A part of that figure is an artifact of how strong the dollar is though.

If it were just a "hormone and brain chemistry issue" there wouldn't be huge differences across populations that can't be attributed to only genetic factors.

Many of these are against public bodies... Hundreds of pages with lawyers back and forth for in the end money going from one part of the government to another...

No it isn't. Just gave some context to it (purpose) and copied into it some 250 lines of code I know has some bugs someone looking more or less closely would find and asked to evaluate its correctness. It did not find any of the proble

It's besides the point whether C pointers are more similar to Rust pointers or references. It's even true that pointers BY THEMSELVES have fewer constraints in Rust than in C . It's in the interaction between pointers and ref
76.
by cataphract 2y ago
I don't think this is true. Rust has constraints that C/C++ doesn't have. For instance, it's undefined behavior to create more than one exclusive (mutable) reference to the same object or to create one where a shared ref

You can't tell the difference between: 1) a random citizen murders someone and 2) a cop murders someone on duty? Yes, ideally the country would be safe enough that no one was killed, and you can even argue that it don't matter bec

You mean Sottomayor and likely Gorsuch acknowledge the 1st amendment issues at play. The rest just assume it without deciding.

The header stuff is pretty bad. The rest are strange choices of stuff to complain about. The vexing parse was never a big deal and these days with bracket initialization (which only rarely you can't use) even less. The pimpl idiom: not

It doesn't make it any safer because the cast is unchecked. It could be argued it's discouraged[1] for a reason that doesn't really apply to modern C versions where implicit-int isn't allowed anymore. But while the cast

Depends whether the program calls into libc or inlines the syscalls, I imagine. Though you could use other mechanisms like secccomp.

That's not the problem. If time_t was a struct with a single int32_t, you'd be in the same situation when you changed it to int64_t (ABI incompatibility: you need more space to store the value now). In order not to have this probl

Yeah, it's strange, the first paragraph seems to just say he didn't roll it back alone, it was a consensus thing, and then the second says actually it wasn't even rolled back because other people kept using the old chain (and

The US obsession with literality in recent times is very sui generis (and even then you have a lot of people criticizing it for not taking further, e.g. the fish is a tangible asset SCOTUS case). In Portugal, the law specifies how it should

So killing civilians en masse is fine, as long it forces the enemy to surrender with (probably) fewer casualties? Why even have laws of war then, if we adjust adjudicate these questions with a utilitarian calculus?

Is this only a kids thing? I'm a terrible swimmer and very dense (on fresh water my head will be completely underwater even with the lungs full), and had to be rescued once on the verge of hypothermia on an ebb tide and I was able to c

It's the governments of the EU countries that are agreeing to this in the Council (apparently it's going through because France is lifting its veto). If enough people cared about this, they would put pressure on their governments

Unfortunately, where I live, more and more people have dogs. It's now a risky proposition to live in an apartment in a closed city block, because it's almost guaranteed that someone will leave a dog barking outside for hours.

An easier option is to build against musl, remove the DEPENDS with patchelf, and use that. There are a few incompatibilities with glibc (more on aarch64 than am64), but it's manageable (you might need to patch a few headers in musl and
