$ rm -rfv huge_dir (A zillion removed files scroll past) Now check if any of the removed files that were dumped out contain “foo.txt”. No, “just run it again” doesn’t work.

Also importantly, an Arc<T> can be passed to anything expecting a &T, so you’re not necessarily bumping refcounts all over the place when using an Arc. If you only store it in one place, it’s basically equivalent to any other boxe

I guess this means the system volume is not encrypted with FileVault? It makes total sense, since it’s supposed to be sealed, read-only data, and identical for every macOS installation. There’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to boot all th

I mean I’m as anti-Trump as the next, but didn’t the bill say it could be delayed to finalize a sale to American owners? You could make the case that this sale means the Trump admin actually didn’t break the rules here.

I literally returned a game from steam because it not only required a Microsoft login but the login dialog said “let’s get you signed in.” I maintain that if it didn’t use such infantilizing wording I may have given it a chance (I had a Mic

We only have trouble obeying due to eons of natural selection driving us to have a strong instinct of self-preservation and distrust towards things “other” to us. What is the equivalent of that for AI? Best I can tell there’s no “natural

Looks like the only unsafe parts are the parts which interop with the rest of the nginx codebase (marshalling pointers, calling various functions in nginx_sys, etc.) Rust cannot guarantee this external C stuff adheres to the necessary invar

It’s not just the destructor you have to worry about, it’s all of the state accessible to callers. If you have any type that represents validated data, say a string wrapper which conveys (say) a valid customer address, how do you empty it o

Y’know the script approach sounds like a good idea. I also have an OpenBSD box similar to what you describe, but I run ISC dhcpd and BIND because it’s the only setup that does old-school dynamic DNS where the dhcp server sends zone updates

No, my policy is to just not go to websites that don’t respect me. It basically means I don’t use the web very much, but it’s probably better for me in the long run anyway, at least that’s how I see it.

But it's not undefined behavior. That's the key. It's "unspecified behavior", meaning that according to the standard, it's allowed. A program that reuses a moved-from value is considered valid and well-formed b

I'm not sure why you keep posting snippets demonstrating C++ rvalue references. We all know what those are, and it's not what we're talking about. We're talking about how the rust compiler uses move semantics to prevent

What’s not possible in C++ is the actual prevention of the moved-from value from being used after the move. Entire API’s are designed around this: my type that tracks a background task can have a shutdown() method that moves self, so that
