Nope. Not at all. Afaict, Rust memcopys moved objects if they're larger than some size when passed as function arguments. Also take into account implicit copies such as those left laying around when a vector outgrows it's heap seg

How do you know where the local part starts? Google uses '+' but nothing stops you from using '-' as a delimiter if you're running your own servers. Also, how do you deal with spam filters that are designed to spam

Folks, downvoting me isn't going bring your language any closer to being supported. If you have a sound argument against what I stated, please voice it instead.

Don't complain. Contribute. I've worked on text rendering in the past, and the amount of subtleties in how each language is rendered and the exceptions/code paths that must be implemented to properly support said languages is

We're actually on the same page here. I should have worded my comment more clearly: Governments should get involved and force vendors to allow device owners full control over their devices. Not only to secure them selves from vendor mi

Good. I hope that vulnerabilities like this continue to surface until legislators take notice. Morally bankrupt vendors will never stop locking down hardware unless governments get involved. Fuck each and every company that does this. Fuck

Searched for price the moment I opened the article. $1000 is a tough sell. I bet if they somehow manage to lower it down to around 200, they'll take off regardless of how "dorky" they look.

The apt-packaged version of OpenSCAD was broken for the current LTS version of ubuntu and hasn't been fixed yet. You'll need to download it from an alternative source if you want it on 18.04. Works well on 16.04 though!

On a related note: Does FTDI still write driver malware? They've been caught with their pants twice. There is no way in hell I'm buying their ICs again.
