Excuse my ignorance but when are you copying commands from a site you don't trust? If I don't trust a site I don't run anything it suggests to me, copy hijacking or no.

I'd appreciate some examples. I'm not saying it doesn't happen, but in my experience downvoted comments tend to have something beyond a counterpoint or difference of opinion; their content is usually irrelevant or unnecessari

I think if your program is string heavy you would definitely notice. It is quite a difference between chasing one pointer per structure and one per character.

Is random access that common? I usually only iterate over strings (and random access is hard to do with utf-8 and friends). I think the two biggest reasons to not use a list of characters to represent a string are memory efficiency (not sto

There are way too many strawmen here to rebut, but I'll take on a couple. > The way this will manifest itself is through a left-wing 20-something low-pay intern who will be tasked to decide whether something is or isn't true.

By "Automatic scene detection" do you mean somehow detecting in the video if interesting things are going on and avoiding cuts around those spots? Because a lot of videos I record have silence in the audio when important things mi

In the case of hacks (someone gets the court's private key and signs fraudulent transfers), mistakes (bugs, human error, etc), and other such scenarios, there would still need to be some kind of title insurance and human oversight.

Yeah I agree. Not only have I seen the milky way, but I've seen andromeda with my naked eye from the right place on the right night, within a day's drive from very populated cities.

To expand on this a bit, the C++ unordered map (hash table) uses basically a linked list to track the entries in each bucket (separate chaining for collisions) because the standard requires that operations that may resize the map don't

So you'd place value in a cryptographic signature from the author that ties the piece of paper in my analogy above to the photo of their real life signature? How much would you value that at, given that anyone else can acquire and enjo

Is this true? You still need connections to the rest of the network so that you know your block chain is the longest one and you get the number of confirmations that both of you feel is sufficient to remove double-spend risk. So it's n

Except it is different in a way. Owning a physical autograph is different from owning a picture of one; the physical autograph can't be reproduced and has value due to its uniqueness and to its physical existence. It would instead be l

I don't think I'd consider it stringly-typed then. To me, stringly-typed means the type system treats strings and non-strings as convertible to each other implicitly. Strings backing enums seems more like an implementation detail

On the flip side, if you have six months or more of expenses in a brokerage account, you don't need to sell all of it day one. And if you sold a little at a time over six months during the covid crash, it wouldn't have been as bad

I've not had that problem. I would love to see the question mark operator in go because I think it is an elegant way to avoid a ton of boilerplate while still remaining a tad explicit about where errors can occur.

There's of course some nuance here - for example the original interface was designed to never error, assuming calculation was local in a way. The new implementation of that interface that makes remove calls may now fail - and basically

I'm not sure I understand. Lots of single threaded programs that don't do crazy data processing have serious security vulnerabilities that memory safety would have prevented.

by jjnoakes 6y ago
Eliminating memory safety bugs won't prevent other kinds of bugs (of course), but it would still be a net win for security and reliability.

Could you elaborate? What issues would simple wills and beneficiaries have in probate? And how does giving someone access to my passwords avoid those issues?

I don't do anything with my online accounts; for assets I rely on beneficiary information and my will, and I expect that the online accounts will just die off (as CCs close, etc). I've always wondered if I should do more. What are

I mean that I'd use it. If it takes a while then maybe I can get by with mrustc for a bit (haven't tried yet) but the net of it is that I need to support systems which llvm does not, which has kept me from using rust in product th

Ecstatic to see this. Once this stabilizes then I can switch my shop to rust and not look back. If I find some spare time I will absolutely try to find a way to contribute.
