Through outside of patent and copyright law very many of the law suites commonly brought up as "frivolous" are actually very reasonable law suites and both the reason they are well known and them being known as "frivolous&quo

The code the blog presents copied from the std, ironically it does include the line where the len is set to 0 with a in code comment (but the article fails to go into it and seems to not be quite aware of the issue, it's otherwise quit

some random additional information: - initially it was believed you can rely Drop for soundness - then the rust community realized that this is an oversight -- the so called leakocalipyse - there also was no easy straight forward way to fix
844.
by dathinab 2y ago
yes drop can't be responsible for safety in Vec::drain() by setting the Vec len to 0, std semantically moves all elements from the Vec to the Drain and in in Drain::drop it semantically moves the non drained elements back i.e. vec::Dra

and fails to properly convey outright stating both in the title and places in the article that drop can be responsible for safety (it can't, in drain it's responsible for not leaking non drained elements, not safety)
846.
by dathinab 2y ago
yes in general when it comes to rust it tries to make sure that any new abstraction of features don't cause unknown unknowns, at least wrt. safety/soundness. Like make abstractions only leaky in ways where either the compiler will

From the article: > That means that impl Drop for Drain is responsible for making sure that Drain is sound. This is _wrong_ the Drop impl _must not_ be responsible for making sure Drain is Sound. Drop is not guaranteed to run it must _ne

by dathinab 2y ago
I know, that was intentional. It doesn't change that you _must not_ use Drop for safety. You only can use it for cleanup, and that can involve unsafe code and that can make things easier, but you can't rely on drop running for any

by dathinab 2y ago
TL;DR: YOU MUST NOT (and as I haven't yet time to read the article I'm not sure if they convey that correctly) But for various (complicated) reasons Drop isn't guaranteed to run on a "safety" level. That means that

From other comments I learned that the period is not a week but more like 90 days and required conditions are more stringent, too. Just in case someone reads my previous comment at a later point.

There is a HUGE amount of things you can criticize about MAID specifically (and should) but honestly there are only a few reason why we shouldn't let the living dead go: - it's a slippery slope - they are young, they might revive

Is Mozilla killing it because German courts ruled that it's a binding GDPR opt out and as such you can't harass people with DNT flat with opaque often not fully legal consent dialogs? Like it might make all their tries of cookie&#

by dathinab 2y ago
It's a failure because law makers haven't made it clear ignoring it is illegal. You probably can build a case around DNT clearly communicating that a user doesn't want to be tracked and as such it should be treated like an if

yes, GDPR is technology agnostic many of it's predecessor sadly are not and are still around leading to absurdities of there being _both_ a GDPR dialog for tracking and a "cookie dialog" (which depending of the law might also

But if you already decide to forgo the benefits of JSON (mainly the ecosystem/wide spread support) and use a niche solution why would you go for JSON5? That looks like a worst of both world solution IMHO. You are probably better of wit

by dathinab 2y ago
IMHO if you have human managed configuration do not use JSON, it's a pretty bad choice for it and adding comments is not (fully) fixing it or in other words IMHO if you have JSON you shouldn't have a need for comments, if you do t

The thing with you example is that there is a "time and location bound context" due to which the false positive rate can be _massively_ reduced. But for nation wide public search the false positive rate is just way to high for it

What often is fully ignored in such articles is the false positive rate. Like e.g. where I live they tested some state of the art facial recognition system on a widely used train station and applauded themself how grate it was given that th

it's fair compared to the standard solution of fully cutting the value in half making everyone lose half their money for good or the other alternative of politicans not making necessary unpleasant decisions and in turn making everyone
