That would make usize a 32-bit integer, regardless of the data width. It does make other hidden assumptions though, such as that there is a single "memory" that is uniquely identified by a usize value, regardless of the way it is

Are such changes a rare occasion? I had naively expected this cycle (accident, analysis, changes to code or law, quiet period, then another accident with a less obvious cause) to be a tragic but necessary engineering routine. I'm refer

Is it just me or is the headline exaggerating a bit? The article doesn't seem to give any hint that "engineering" will change "profoundly", but rather checking that buildings are built to code, inspecting their curr

The whole problem seems to start with a clear definition of what a string is . Java (IIRC) defines it as a list of code points, and its behavior follows from that. It's even "correct" in the sense of correct according to tha

Quick idea: You could use a different wording that doesn't get recognized by Xcode but sticks out in a similar way. It would take some time to get used to it though.

Can somebody give a layman explanation why the debris would stay in the same orbit? I would expect a lot of energy to go into destroying both objects, especially in a head-on collision.

I would argue that this is only half true. In the strictest sense, yes, we are at the mercy of hardware manufacturers. In practice, however, we can make chips at home, using FPGAs. For example, Lattice ECP5 offers capabilities beyond what

Actually, why not? The main reason that "in the kernel" is concerning is because untrusted code needs some kind of sandboxing, either by static analysis or by run-time checks. (Most modern systems do a combination of both). After
