Interesting. The article states "The compiler prints the value as a given variable changes." -- surely it means the program does, and not the compiler?

At the end of the article he states that the next step is to work toward safe Rust.

Puzzling that the page has a headline declaring it "Proudly anti-fascist", but has nothing in the FAQ/About explaining what that means in this context.

You can make a burner email account that doesn't track you around the web, and other places. Is it possible to do that with a Facebook account?

I have the same issue. My suspicion is that this is going to be analyzed as a serious safety concern at some point. It seems that headlights got much brighter to benefit the driver behind them, without any consideration that they blind eve

> It is still just calories in and calories out. The problem with this line of thinking is the "just". Sure, physics says it's calories in and out, and we all agree that mostly makes sense. But -- how do you measure how ma

I made a similar call after an Amazon courier recently left two packages on the roadside nowhere near my house (where they are normally left at the door). They added instructions to my account indicating which door the packages should be le

I've always assumed that the answer is that due to the way email works, mail can, in certain (rare) situations, end up stuck in a queue somewhere between mail servers and not delivered until a couple days later. Saying that unsubscribi

But it is. Dawkins' meme was an idea that spreads person to person. So are the modern internet-spread image macro memes. The catching on and spreading is what makes it a meme and not just an image. The confusion is that the latter m

That may realign it, but it doesn't mean you're good at it. Maybe Joe-Z fails in the other direction, writes off tons of people as untrustworthy (incorrectly) for no reason, and hasn't realized it.

Actually, I run Thunderbird on Linux and have frequent issues with it pausing and hanging on me. (Among other issues related to it seemingly just having trouble handling large amounts of email -- but that's not important to dive into

If you're using Thunderbird 11, you are using a mail client full of security issues. https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/security/known-vulnerabilities...

This article doesn't seem to explain why they have a hard dependency on a proprietary tool to flash the firmware. There are no alternatives to AFUEFI?

This sure looks like a crisis for a grocery store. It didn't say it was a crisis for the population.

Your assumption that "someone else paid for it" only holds if the price was directly tied to external costs and not their own profit.

They tend to be speed targets in many places, because if you drive under (or at) the speed limit in many places, you'll get hassled by aggressive drivers behind you, creating a more dangerous situation than if you sped up instead. (Bas

Quality in video games is certainly more objective than in painting. There are a lot of aspects of a video game that are not fully subjective: does it have a control scheme that feels good and generally works, does it run well, does it hav

There have been efforts trying to do the exact opposite of this, and enable reproducible builds. Being able to compile code and get the same byte-for-byte result as someone else (i.e. a distribution shipping you binaries) can help eliminate

I'm not sure how the Linux kernel handles these, but in some projects, this is intentional, the goal being to land the fix and make everyone safe before knowledge of how to exploit the bug is widely known. Of course, sometimes just fix
