What prevents us from coding like this in C++? As far as I can tell, human fallibility. C++ has been around for decades and we still keep running into the same bugs over and over. That is my point — "What can I do in this language?&quo

No? A corporation forcing news outlets to issue editorial statements (and without disclosure) isn't remotely the same thing as a newspaper voluntarily paying Reuters for access to its reporting. It's like the difference between bu

Newspapers pay Reuters for access to their stories because Reuters has pretty good writing on offer for less than it would cost the paper to do the work itself. They can choose what stories they want to put their name on, and they are even

A constitutional republic is a type of democracy. Trying to draw a distinction there is beyond splitting hairs.

Do you not see how incredibly Blubby the view you're espousing here sounds? You seem surprised by the downvotes, but what you're saying seems to boil down to "Blub is fine." (Not a Rust developer, BTW, just somebody who

I thought it was broadly the English-language format. AFAIK the comma is the thousands separator in the US, the UK, Australia and Canada.

It seems precisely as easy to make sure you've deleted every copy of the data as it is to make sure you've encrypted every copy of the data.

If there is a factual problem here or a word choice you think would be more accurate, offering that would be useful. Do you have any corrections like that? As it is, the title seems to be an accurate description of the story, and your comp

It's a sizable percentage of all the cars Tesla has ever sold, considering they're barely over 300,000 produced across all lines right now.

Sure, but that doesn't have any affect on the safety of eating the plant, which was the topic here.

Almost nobody, whether technical or not, is looking for something as generic as a "programmer" when they want a freelancer. Some people want expertise in a particular technology. Other people don't care as much about the tech

The "easy-to-understand" business model of a service like Facebook is that they show ads on it. That's pretty different from what we're talking about here.

Fortunately not. As noted in the article[1] linked in the OP: > Deleting a public repository > When you delete a public repository, one of the existing public forks is chosen to be the new parent repository. All other repositories

Did you actually listen under the same circumstances you would have read? For example, you wouldn't visually read a book while folding clothes. I suspect some of the lower recall with audiobooks is because people listen to them in situ

What does this have to do with public projects? This is entirely about private repos.

This doesn't look like shifting goalposts to me — it looks like you misunderstood where the goalposts were to begin with. Read the original comment charitably rather than with an eye for holes and I think you'll see that it wasn&#

I think maybe I was a little bit imprecise. It's not that the projects are too hard, but that the way the book is structured doesn't give you what you need to complete the project before giving you the project itself. They're

I suspect people probably can do it a bit faster in Python, but like you say, you wouldn't necessarily end up with the same quality of work. The Rust code is likely to be quite fast and very solid, whereas the Python code is likely to

I think this is the difference between the "projects" all through the book and the "exercises" the earlier commenter is looking for: The projects in the Rust book are just a construct to give the example code context. It

That's actually sort of what the original story was. I mean, no blockchains, but the battery thing was introduced because the studio didn't like the idea of humans as CPUs.

That's assuming their userbase is a lot less elastic than it probably is. They'd have to retain at least half of their current users in order for that to even come close to replacing current revenue. The reason these pay-with-your

I'm not all that familiar with actix, but surely not every Rust program is written using a library that largely changes the nature of Rust code. Like, would you say there's a name for the dialect this program is written in?

Well, I mean, a program can call chdir() and it works exactly as it's supposed to, but it only affects that program , not a different program.

Not really. The abstract of the study specifically lists improved memory as one of the effects the mice experienced. There are obviously lots of caveats you could list (e.g. it's only shown to help mice with chronic stress, not people

Yes, I said in the comment you're replying to that Tesla's advertising for that nonexistent feature was confusing. I'm not sure why you're repeating it back to me. But at any rate, this thread isn't about whether it
