This was my question, too https://sh.itjust.works/comment/11976255

This is true, but I think the bigger deal is that some people actually like driving (maybe not the trafficky daily commute). Some speeders fit this category, but also others who just like being precise on the curves, being in the flow of an uncrowded road, and even expressing their neighborliness to others.

So far, self driving cars drive very clumsily even when they are safe. More scope for embarrassment and frustration than anything else if you identify with the behavior of your car. "Chill mode" for example, chooses the right of a four lane road until the last minute instead of making lane changes when space allows. Awful.

But even if the cars get better at it, some people will miss driving.

Oh, I remember now, aerial photography highlighting how coastal millionaires illegally restricted access to California beaches. Thanks

Fuck the NY times

At the least it should have a prominent "for entertainment purposes only", except it fails that purpose, too

Thanks, I understand the problem with using memory after it's been freed and possibly access it changed by another part of the process. I guess I was confused by the double free explanation I read, which didn't really say how it could be exploited, but I think you are right it still needs to be accessed later by the original program, which would not happen in Rust.

Thank you, that is very clear.

The way I understand it, it is a bug in C implementation of free() that causes it to do something weird when you call it twice on the same memory. Maybe In Rust you can never call free twice, so you would never come across this bug. But, also Rust probably doesn't have the same bug.

My point is it seems it is a bug in the underlying implementation of free(), not to be caught by the compiler, and can't Rust have such errors no matter its superior design?

Those are ooids.

My Android keyboard will automatically capitalize lots of common words like target, guess, even-- shit it's not doing it now, it heard me thinking. I guess it's brands, but some of them I don't recognize. I'm going to be mad if it starts doing it again as soon as I leave this thread.

I'd like to see a law that the owner can always see where data traffic is going from a product and selectively start or stop it whenever they want. Maybe this would make part our all of the product temporarily unusable or throw a flag somewhere else in the system depending on the purpose (as specified in prepurchase literature), but it should be transparently allowed. That's how consent works. I can dream

Singer believes interdiction of synthetic drugs is so difficult that U.S. policy-makers should focus resources on helping drug users find medical treatment instead of funding more law enforcement efforts.

Who is this candidate? Pick one and start saying their name! Would Sanders take the nomination? Whoever it is, you'll need their cooperation at least, so find your duck and get it in the row.

I don't mean to yell at you, it is frustrating and humiliating for the average citizen, and it's going to get worse.

Losing less is still better than losing more and if we're too late we have to accept that and look beyond the vote to damage control in the coming years. Yes, asking each other to "hold your nose and vote" sucks, but we've got to pair it with the idea that protest and disobedience and local government action is going to be an important factor for years to come, no matter who is president.

Captain drives from the stern, though. If you sit up in bed you're facing the bow.

I don't know what this is about, but it reminds me of the constant ev-bashing in most major newspapers over the last two decades (since the beginning). I believe it's oil money in the press, and definitely had effect on the overall conversation, especially discouraging small evs, but not clear effect on policy. It just keeps consumers from adopting.

He was not trying to recover property, he was trying to kill people.

They say "soldiers" for sympathy but it's the politicians who are rightfully scared.

I don't know much about this stuff, but thinking of all the work drm games have gone through to prevent piracy, is it possible to do something with these highly popular dependencies so each user gets a sort of differently obfuscated version or something so that finding a vulnerability in one distribution doesn't give you immediate access to all of them, so that it isn't such a valuable target in the first place and damage can be limited? There's going to be no end to this kind of attack as long as you have a single piece of software embedded in thousands of giant systems.
