EPA doing their homework is fine, but what exactly is reasonable in VW denying this for a year?
Yes, when I talk about C++ compiler speed I generally mean Clang, since it's a widely-available high-quality implementation with compiler speed as an explicit priority. In the context of Rust it's doubly relevant since they both use LLVM. Compiler speed wasn't an explicit priority for the Rust developers in the run-up to 1.0, but these days it's essentially top priority (hence the aforementioned middle end overhaul, though it has more benefits than just incremental recompilation), and the speed of the compiler has already more than doubled since 1.0.

Of course you can build SOEs with manually assembled sideloaded drivers, especially if your organization uses just a handful of different models.
I was not thinking so much in terms of financial difficulty, but in terms of changing company culture. A lot can change at a company in three years. You may have to completely reorient the employee. Or...maybe since the employee has been absent for so long, their position is no longer valued/needed. The company shifts in a different direction without the employee there to shift with it.

Can all jobs be easily replaced with a "temporary employee". If you have a lot of inside knowledge and training that allows you do perform well, it would take a lot of training to get a temp up to speed.

Also, three children may be an "edge case", but two definitely is not and it seems like the same problems would apply.
Moving is not always the best option. For example, you could have more than one person that work and commute, and the house is between the workplaces. Or perhaps there's not acceptable housing near their workplace. Or perhaps they don't want to move and disrupt their children's social development by having them lose all their friends. And moving is often simply much more trouble than spending a little more to get a more environmentally-friendly automobile.

It's worth noting on top of what others have said, Gmail (and assume most others too) will only display the unsubscribe button from whitelisted mail servers, as far as I'm aware.

The reasoning being that it could be used by spammers to confirm an email address is real/valid after a user attempts to unsubscribe at which point they could sign them up to more spam. So don't expect your own emails to show the button by just adding the List-Unsubscribe header, unless you're using something like Amazon SES.

It's nice to have a one-click button for it, but this was already available by configuring a filter. You just need to select all emails from a particular address and then choose to always mark them as spam or send them directly into the trash. From the headline I was thinking that they changed it so that you could keep email from an address from ever being delivered to your account in any form.

Here is the letter (PDF copy) that was sent from the EPA to VW, VW America, and Audi. It was sent last Friday, which is when the story "broke".

The initial investigation 18 months ago kicked off an investigation by the EPA. VW denied any wrongdoing but admitted to a "glitch" and started issuing ECU updates. This is why some people think there is already an ECU fix for this out there. There is a "fix" from last year that says it's an ECU upgrade for emissions, but it was a stalling tactic / red herring while VW continued to cover up the extent of the deception.

What it is an absolute disgrace is that it takes a visit to extreme right-wing ranters to discover alternate, more reasonable narratives than the outrageous, divisive, and inflammatory ones that have been recklessly and irresponsibly promoted by the media and public figures. Just because the President is slick, keeps his cool, and doesn't go off on "vociferous diatribes" doesn't mean he's any less ideologically driven and dishonest. One ideologically-driven liar is The President of the US, the other one is a no-name blogger that no one would know about if he wasn't one of the very few voices to show up in opposition to the original narrative. I'm inclined to give the random no-name blogger more of a pass on tone policing.

> "hints" (read: concludes)

This distinction is very important, because establishing reasonable doubt in favor the school and teacher who have been tried and found guilty in the court of public opinion is different from declaring Ahmed to be definitely guilty of a hoax which was definitely done to provoke a divisive scandal. "Hinting" offers an alternate narrative that is as least as plausible as the original one. We can thus retract the condemnation of school, teacher, and police without declaring Ahmed to actually be guilty of anything.

If the individual cells in your grid aren't changing dynamically, you can use a one-time-binding[1] which will improve performance by removing the watchers after the expression is populated.

And yet, it's been demonstrated again and again with Steam, Netflix, Spotify, etc. that people are willing to pay for content if the price isn't outrageous.

For example, people are willing to pay for Spotify which with moderate average daily use (3 hours) is about 45 songs a day which comes out to $0.007 a song. Very few artists would be willing to admit that's how much their songs are really worth unless the listener is already a die-hard fan.

Nearly every popular game on Steam can be pirated with enough effort and yet Steam sales are practically a national holiday.

I am trying to solve a similar problem but offering unlimited email addresses, you can block any of your address, forward some of them to your regular email, visualize all (or just some) of the addresses in the same page as they were the same address and eliminate an address so that email is undeliverable.

So then the cynic in me sees this as more of an economic move than a privacy protection mechanism.

Edit. fixed typo.
You're both kind of right. A one-click unsubscribe is not required, but if you do use a web link for unsubscribe, the form can't require the user to enter any information beyond their email address. (Unsubscribe forms that require you to login are probably violating this law.)

"Reply with the word REMOVE in the subject" is also a CAN-SPAM complaint unsubscribe method, though.
"use strict" isn't comparable to warning flags at all, because it changes the behavior of code. I only brought it up because it can be applied selectively within function scope, not specifically for what it does.

I think what we need is a way to selectively disable language features. Changing the behavior of existing features is a much more questionable thing to do in my view.

The big question is if it's possible to disable some features without affecting how other features must work. It failed miserably for exceptions, but exceptions are a cross cutting sort of concern.

> Why .parent().unwrap().parent().unwrap()?

I'm not mega familiar with the code, but using a low-level binding to something else that has nulls often means a lot of Option, which means a lot of unwrapping. A nicer library could probably get rid of some of this.

Yep. Lowering temps by adding excess fuel per cycle to lower combustion temps by thermal mass and heat of vaporization. The fuel doesn't ignite because of careful regulation of the throttle plate (and in turbocharging engines, wastegate/sizing) management.

My naturally-aspirated gasoline engine has a third-party flash that lets the throttle plate open much more quickly when you step on the gas. It feels much snappier, but opening the throttle plate too quickly allows excess oxygen to burn the extra fuel, not leaving any for heat reduction, which means there are steep increases in NOx and temperatures during acceleration.
