I think for the case we're talking about here, though, it would be doable. This doesn't need to thwart deep forensic analysis. It just needs to survive a border agent thumbing through the contents of your phone for a bit. If th

Sure, you're right that this analogy is bad, because that would never happen. But if it did , you'd still be on the hook for the bomb, even though technically the LEO set it off through incompetence.

In theory, yes, but in practice they can do whatever they want, and suing them after the fact is going to be expensive, and have a high probability of not working out for you. When interacting with border officials (or any LEOs, for that ma

Honestly, I think this is still fine for most people. The probability of a border agent asking me to unlock my phone is very, very low. The inconvenience of using a burner phone is high. If they do take my phone (completely shut down, unl

If you're using roaming on your cellular plan, all your traffic is routed over VPN to your home country, so local blocks don't work. (That's one of the reasons why it's trivially easy for foreign visitors to China to byp

That's the thing that worries me. The Democratic party just doesn't have their shit together in that way. They absolutely should be developing this sort of plan. I expect there is some plan, but I doubt it's as comprehen

Voters change their mind all the time. Sure, there are still plenty in the US who want all this, but Trump's approval ratings are at or near all-time lows, and at least some people who voted for him finally see his lies for what they

You seem to be under the mistaken impression that the Rust team is some huge organization. They're not. They are certainly larger than you or me sitting behind our keyboards at home, but they don't have endless resources, and th

It's interesting that you include Java in there, as I've worked on some pretty bog-standard Java code bases where the dependency tree didn't look all that different from a cargo project's.

I don't really agree. You reach for a dependency when you need to do something non-trivial and the stdlib doesn't have what you need (or the stdlib implementation is bad). You don't just sit around running `cargo search` fo

What a weird way to frame the argument. Banning pineapple on pizza takes away choice. Legally requiring that headphone manufacturers offer the ability to buy a new charging case for them just saves people money and reduces harm to the env

Sure, but people don't really care about that. They care about it working, and if it works better under one environment than another, they'll blame the environment where it doesn't work as well. That's just natural.

Designing a parser and deciding how to solve the problem isn't work? Writing code is not the only work involved in building something. I love writing code and avoid using an LLM for pleasure projects, but c'mon, this kind of deri
