Wtf no your 9-5 (or in your case im guessing much longer) isn't a replacement for a relationship.

If you're somehow able to do nothing but work and self improvement all day and be satisfied with just that in your life then good for you but don't assume everyone can just adapt to that mindset.

Humans are not evolved to find intimacy so irrelevant.

So anything bad that ever happens to you is your own fault?

Do you just walk around through life assuming cancer patients did something awful to deserve their disease? Cause that's the only way this analogy makes any sense...

I speak Japanese. You clearly do not. Edit: "no less unusual" is admittedly a slight overstatement. It is slightly more permissible to speak in third person in Japanese. Nevertheless it is false to say people GENERALLY talk in third person.

Adobe made a small change to its terms and conditions and that made its users very, very unhappy — scrutinizing data to find illegal content is a risky move

That's not the same as content distribution.

Sharing content to clients cannot be effectively done through creative cloud.

It does not make sense to try and stop the distribution at the level of video editing. Not only is the thought of child predators making regular use of professional editing software completely absurd, but even if you assume they do, why the fuck do you think they would use the inbuilt cloud sharing tools to do so?? They would just encrypt the contents and transmit it over any other file sharing service...

It makes no sense to implement this measure because it does absolutely nothing to impede criminals, but enables a company well known for egregious privacy violations unprecedented access to information completely law abiding clients have legitimate reasons to want to keep private.

It is a farce. A smokescreen intended to encroach on customers precious data all the while doing nothing to assist law enforcement.

Announcing Rust 1.84.1

Reply in thread

There does exist a crate that allows you to turn it off. Unfortunately the compiler will still compiler your code assuming the same exclusive access rules imposed by the borrow checker, so any time you break the borrow checker rules you're basically guaranteed to segfault.

The rust compiler always assumes mutable pointers are exclusive. This is the crux of your issue with the borrow checker. If you don't make this assumption, then you can't automatically drop variables when they fall out of scope, thus the programmer would have to manually allocate memory.

You may prefer even then to allocate memory yourself, but if I was you I would just trust the rust compiler in its assumption that it can optimize programs much better when all pointers are exclusive, and learn to program in a compliant manner

Yea I mean it's possible, but the sooner you bite the bullet and use a more modern language, the sooner you'll get back to the same level of maturity and start having productivity dividends being paid out thanks to things like being able to get your compiler to prevent use after free bugs and the like.

Not sure how much sudo specifically needs this, maybe new commits are rare. As long as it stays out of LTS for the time being I'm all for it though.

Also not quite sure what you mean by "footprint"

Are you talking about the binary size or the fact that C has a tiny and straightforward language spec?

GNOME Desktop top bar - waste of space?

I don't use gnome and after switching to hyperland prefer not to have my compositor draw anything other than windows, so I can understand where you're coming from, but for gnome i'd want to keep it, namely cause its used for:

  • System controls including power/logout are there as well as switching audio devices through an extension.
  • clock
  • system indicators (what else are you going to do about applications that unmap their window on close, like discord?)
