> This isn't much different than saying that C safe language if you write it perfectly. The difference is in C, the entire language is unsafe, whereas in Rust only the bits marked `unsafe` are unsafe. Most Rust code does not need

If interactions through safe abstractions leak unsafety into your code, that's a bug in the abstractions. Edit: who voted me down? This is literally the definition of writing a safe abstraction around unsafe code in Rust. If the user

Good idea. I just tried that on the first image of the whole route (after zooming in a bit) and the misplaced hold looks like it's floating in space away from the wall.

I have no idea if we've observed it. Galaxy collisions take a very long time, I'm not sure how we'd ever be in a position to observe both the starting state and result. That said, the point of the law of conservation of momen

I haven't used Kagi's Quick Answer very often yet, but when I do, it always cites its sources and I often end up clicking into at least one of the sources to look for more detail or context.

With the car & truck, and with the eagle, a lot of energy is lost into the environment. With two galaxies colliding, there is no environment to speak of. They're in space, and space is as close to a perfect vacuum as one might reas

The weird thing about C is the syntax does not clearly identify which tokens refer to types and which tokens refer to other things. A statement like `myint x` is only a variable declaration if `myint` is a type, which means in order to iden

"Harassment" and "disagreement" are two separate things, and the fact that you're conflating them here tells me you're not a member of a marginalized group

Because quoting is also used as a harassment vector.

PBKDF2 is at least better than YoloPBKDF (which looks rather like PBKDF1). Besides brute-forcing, YoloPBKDF/PBKDF1 has a maximum key length (the length of the hash function output) whereas PBKDF2 can construct longer keys. PBKDF2 also

Basically, yeah. It sounds like the problem is the difficulty of cracking it scales linearly, and a ton of work has gone into figuring out how to efficiently crack it. Modern KDFs are memory-hard, which is a resource that's a lot harde

I'm pretty sure I'm fairly far from your target customer, given that I'm not building products, and right now my only usage of fly.io is to host a tiny app that expects to be used a few times per year by my spouse and me. H

The answer to anecdote 2 is probably that if the seller chooses to skip validation measures on the transaction, then they become liable in the event the transaction is deemed fraudulent.

You don't "build tolerance" to UV. Developing a tan will help avoid getting sunburn in the future, but it does nothing at all to reduce your risk of skin cancer. Sunscreen doesn't just stop sunburn, it also prevents canc

> willfully passing a law which you know to be unconstitutional This is the sticking point. Do they know for a fact that it's unconstitutional? If they do then I agree they're in the wrong. My argument here is that they don&#

The oath says "support and defend the Constitution". That doesn't make it their job to interpret the constitution.

It's not the job of the lawmakers to follow the constitution. That job belongs to the judges. Lawmakers ought to know what's constitutional and what's not because there's no point in passing a law that will immediately b

Or instead of going through all that work to look for reasons to justify tipping less, you could just do a simple 20% on the subtotal.

In that same article, you have some iterations 8 / 41 = 0.1951219 (8 + 41 = 49) / 8 = 6.125 (49 + 8 = 57) / 49 = 1.16326531 (57 + 49 = 106) / 57 = 1.85964912 (106 + 57 = 163) / 106 = 1.53773585 That s
