Imagine being elected president then just deciding, entirely on your own, that a law (that you helped pass) just shouldn’t exist. So much for checks and balances.

FTC learns that the grass is green.

I’d have confidence in them doing something if Lina Khan weren’t on her way out. Even if she somehow stuck around, there’s no way that random court in Texas is going to let her do her job.

Don’t forget Intel’s latest GPU launches either! For custom PCs, there are some really affordable and relatively powerful GPUs available now (for the price). Despite their performance otherwise, Intel is killing it in the GPU space now.

For a lower spec build, you could definitely put together something with a 12100F (or other cheap CPU) and a battlemage GPU. Depending on where you get all the parts, you might be able to hit sub-$500 and get great 1080p performance, or for sure sub-$1k 1080p and likely 1440p performance.

Handhelds also have a lot of good options available too. To save some cash, you can get low end Steam Deck and swap the hard drive yourself. Got myself the cheapest LCD variant and swapped the tiny drive in it with a 2TB drive off Amazon.

I’ll be honest. I’ve written async code in Rust for years and I don’t think I’ve used select at all. I tend to drop into manually implementing Future before that point. Either way, the issues related to that macro still exist, but the author seemed to call it out and link to an article about it (which doesn’t seem disingenuous at all to me).

As for cancellation, the fact that you can cancel tasks by default in Rust has come up far more for me than any issues with unintended cancellation (which I don’t remember ever coming up, honestly). What I find myself wanting in other languages (especially JS) is the ability to both control when the task starts executing (for initialization logic or to prepare the task and pass it somewhere before it starts executing) and when it stops executing (early termination, for example with debouncing). I don’t get that by default in other languages, or often even at all in JS (unless I pass an abort controller everywhere).

Another potential security issue is path traversal - can someone getting an uploaded paste pass in an ID that allows them to read files in other directories of the system, like ../cert.pem? Verifying that the ID is a valid UUID, if that’s the route you go, should solve this.

Anyway, it was a lot of fun reading your posts the past few days. Seeing the improvements between the iterations was really cool. Feel free to keep sharing your adventures!

If you don’t threaten, tariffs hit and you pay more. If you threaten, he magically remembers what tariffs do and walks it back. At least, one would hope.

Want to make Trump listen? Threaten him with tariffs. He’ll only listen to money and threats.

Not only this, but C# has diverged enough from Java that anything but the absolute basics isn’t going to help much with C#.

static mut has so many safety requirements to use it soundly that you should just not use it. Use an AtomicUsize instead, and just make it static.

Cybertrucks have a lot of problems, but this seemed to be a clearly intentional explosion by somebody.

That aside, can Tesla just unlock any of their vehicles remotely and access all the camera footage on it? That seems like a much bigger problem, especially since Mr. Musk is practically our next president.

Nah both parties suck. One’s fascists, the other’s just a complete mess. Still, says a lot that people would rather vote in the fascists.

Making homelessless illegal will obviously result in fewer homeless people. They’ll all pick themselves up by the bootstraps, walk into the nearest fast food restaurant, and ask the manager for a job. That’s obviously how it works these days, clearly.

What kind of person sees a law that makes it illegal to be poor and thinks it’s going to solve some problem lol.

Well you can have a party full of literal fascists and people will still vote for them before considering a third party. If you have any hope of a third party taking any amount of control, I could use some of it. Sadly, third parties are mostly just spoilers for the opposition these days though.

It sounds to me like the FDA is doing what it’s supposed to (part of it anyway). I wish these could be caught before they made it to shelves, but pulling them before they can do more damage is still a positive.

What about the Nazis? What about the genocides in Rwanda, Soviet Russia, Cambodia…

I saw evidence of Chinese persecution of political prisioners in Hungary, which is completely unacceptable and needs to be dealt with.

Seems we both agree then that the Chinese extralegal, international persecution of political dissidents is unacceptable. The rest, guess we can continue to disagree.

The fact that you’re necroing a week old post to spout nonsense without evidence shows just how confident you are in your argument.

The number of prisoners in gitmo have been reported on plenty of times.

Dozens in 30 countries… OK

Do you live under a rock or something? Feels like every week there’s a new investigation/arrest related to this.

In other languages, these are usually called static methods. Rust just uses these instead of constructor methods. That way you never have to work with a partially initialized value - you just create the value in your new function once you’ve initialized all its fields.

Do you happen to know when the most recent new prisoner to gitmo was brought there? And how about the most recent kidnapping, assault, or other official international crime by the Chinese government?

Maybe some numbers? There are dozens of known Chinese international, extralegal police stations opened in at least 30 countries. There are less than 30 remaining gitmo prisoners.

Nobody likes gitmo. If a certain “party of law and order” would actually give a crap about law and order, it’d be closed by now. But comparing the two is grasping for straws, especially since one’s actively being expanded while the other has been shutting down since Obama.

With how much hate I see about the US here, I could say the same thing there.

Calling out people for doing bad shit is kinda normal. It just so happens that China, Russia, and the US do a lot of bad shit, so they get called out a lot. If it bugs you, then just filter out posts by specific people or with specific keywords.

Not sure how the post relates to spez personally and I agree with you, but I don’t think anyone needs a reason to say “fuck spez.”

Fuck spez.
