> The nice things we want to do in native code are complicated to implement in C because cross-platform C is hard. The standard library is inadequate compared to modern languages. While modern versions of C++ are nice, we still support Python 2.7 and thus need to build with MSVC 2008 on Windows. It doesn't have any of the nice features that modern versions of C++ have. Things like introducing a thread pool in our current C code would be hard. But with Rust, that support is in the standard library and "just works." Having Rust's standard library is a pretty compelling advantage over C/C++ for any project, not just Mercurial.

Sounds like the main reason for rust is that Python has a weird dep on a fixed MSVC version.
Yeah there's absolutely no way I'm going to use something like this if it doesn't have a web interface.
Honestly, I just tell those relatives, “Thanks for the thought and lovely gift. In case you weren’t aware, we don’t allow battery operated toys in the house, so we’ll gladly let you keep [CHILD_NAME]’s toy at your house and when we come visit, they’ll be happy to play with it there.”

It might not be exactly this, but we have spent over a decade training our relatives, and after 6 children, we only get clothes (win!), wooden toys (win!), and board-games/puzzles (win!).

Otherwise, start asking for gift receipts or find out where they shopped so you can, “find something similar”...
Maybe at least partly because you had to engage your imagination a bit to make that stick into a gun, or whatever? Toy guns are obviously guns; point 'em and say "Pew! Pew!" — if they don't already make the noise for you, too...

Sticks, there's a visualization step or two somewhere in there, too. I'm not specifically aware of any research directly investigating the relationship between the degree or intensity of imaginative play and focus, but I wouldn't be at all surprised — read: fully expect — to find them strongly positively correlated.
Eh, 64-bit desktops were becoming common a decade ago. Considering the small minority of developers using a 32-bit machine for development, I don't see that it is worthwhile to spend effort on that.

Note that Rust can (and does) target various 32-bit platforms (ARM and maybe RISC-V, not sure) for cross-compile. Self-hosting on a 32-bit platform is such a minor drawback these days. 64-bit ARM processors are becoming more common these days as well.
We do not know that the cashier’s assumption of his Americanness was based entirely on what she perceived to be his race. What is probably most true is that her mind, based on a large dataset, “guessed” his Americanness and that his race may have had as much to do with that guess as his shoes (probably wearing sneakers, as American tourists tend to), his hat, glasses, shorts, phone, etc. Ever been to Europe as a white male American? They can tell you apart from white male Europeans instantly (usually from your shoes).

Edit: words and grammar.

Patriot doesn't work, Thaad doesn't work. The only ABMs worth a damn are the Israeli Arrow, Russian S500, and perhaps Aster 30 BMD when that enters service. The Americans have always relied on fighters for strategic air defence, and now those chickens are coming home to roost.
What is your thought on this?

>Rockets fired at Israel are generally cheap, short-range subsonic jobs,

not exactly. Most seems to be manufactured either in Iran or China and a follow on or similar development off basic USSR/Russian systems, like Grad, Uragan, Smerch - these rockets have speed anywhere between 2M and 3M. It is outside of capabilities of many air defense systems on the merit of the speed alone. Add to that multiple rockets in a salvo. Iron Dome being capable of dealing with that is a very huge achievement.
who reads/writes this garbage?

> As for me, it’s about more than a couple of check box attributes, such as 310 miles of range or the existing Supercharger network. In broad-brush, the Bolt and Leaf are great cars but leaned-back EVs; they seem pushed onto the stage, hesitant in their groundbreaking roles. The Model 3 leans into the future with a reckless glee you cannot avoid noticing. Its infotainment and autonomous systems are still a work in progress, but new software features are being beamed in seemingly every night. Its Autopilot 2 is crazy ambitious; will it work without lidar? Electric cars are often dismissed for seeming soulless; the Tesla fills the void with human fantasies. You may need to talk yourself into a Bolt or a Leaf; you need to talk yourself out of paying the premium for this Model 3.

> Taking all these factors into consideration, our finishing order in this first-ever comparison test of affordable long-range electric vehicles: Tesla Model 3 first, then the Chevrolet Bolt and Nissan Leaf. True, this is a $60,500 Model 3—but some say magic is priceless. Hey, Tesla fans, are your hands still up?

Timeliness, usually. Destruction is usually a batch job so if you care about risk of data exposure in the time lag between being able to wipe the drive (usually an online, relatively low-hassle activity) and destroying the drive, wiping is worthwhile.

Again, thread modelling is crucial. There may be no point wiping!

Worth noting that "neoliberalism" as a term must be taken in context of the era in which Chomsky wrote this.

Both "neo" and "liberal" as word roots are relative by nature, and no longer apply in a modern context to that which they were attributed in this case.
> The link you gave gives a single line description of the issue. It isn't very helpful in understanding what conditions were required to exploit. Is this a Sandboxie installer issue or all installers?

The single line description is literally an answer to both of those questions, "Sandboxie installer 5071703 has a DLL Hijacking or Unsafe DLL Loading Vulnerability via a Trojan horse dwmapi.dll or profapi.dll file in an AppData\Local\Temp directory."

> Edit: ok, read the medium link at the bottom. This is an issue with Sandboxie's installer behavior, for which I think it is unfair to blame the way Windows searches for and loads DLLs.

The vulnerability is literally caused by the dll load path containing the cwd. That is the subject of this entire thread.

This is a prime example of why you never answer questions like this from police. Give them nothing and they have nothing to twist against you. In a rigged system, the best option is to not play whenever possible.

No, I didn't say that. But on reading the linked article more carefully I'm more inclined to be supportive of the change since it doesn't disallow background checks, just prevents criminal history from being used to screen at the application stage.

You are right about that. I use two external monitors, one of which is rotated 90°. Guess which one I keep my browser window on? :)
So come up with some legitimate use for camera access (e.g. simple AR level in game) and also use it for ads?
This is super interesting to me on applications where I'm using Heroku's $50/month Postgres plan. Almost inevitably I find that the only reason I've upgraded past hobby level is for performance, not scaling. That it would auto-scale under load is just the icing on the cake.
I was imagining a giant hole in the ground, but low, very long buildings are no doubt more practical.
Although it's perhaps unfortunate that this was her reaction, on other hand I think it's frankly pretty amazing how quickly some countries, such as Vietnam, start welcoming tourists from countries that they recently had very unpleasant wars with.
That's fair, but I'm not saying it isn't better than many other places, I'm just saying that it is very bad.

Anyways, I'll believe it when I see it stop happening.
There are also people who want you to think they sunk immense amounts of money and time into a product.

That someone would slap you for having a healthy skepticism about their claims doesn't inspire faith in said claims.
Donate them to charity. Explain to the kids it is relative's fault for not also gifting you enough money to afford a mansion for housing ten jillion toys, but there just isn't space for everything.

I also like the suggestion here to take them apart and use it as a learning experience, knowing that they probably won't get put back together in working order.
Aurora is accessible via TCP (mysql or Postgres), not HTTP.
Tuition at the Montessori school by me is $15,000 per child, per year. That's crazy. Most families around here could never dream of affording that.
Not quite. With 4 toys, kids could still switch toys just as frequently as with 16 toys. They would just be expected to return to a toy after setting it down in ~1/5 as much time under one possible null hypothesis.

No, it's not a big bang result. That is a good thing. For a long time, psychology has had a real problem with studies whose reach exceed their grasp. This study appears to me to be an example of exactly the kind of sober, incrementalist work that we need to see more of in psychology. It takes a big hypothesis ("giving kids a lot of toys is harmful to their attention span in the long run"), picks a smaller sub-hypothesis off of it ("if kids have fewer toys, their individual sessions with each toy will be longer") and then tests just that bit. Like they suggest at the end of the abstract, this result indicates that it would be sensible to proceed to the next iteration.

Call it "lean science" if a buzzword is necessary.
>What if you were going to a casino and brought a few thousand dollars with you and got pulled over. People do that all the time. The cop notices a wad of cash in an envelope. Tells you you must be a drug dealer with all that cash and then just takes it. Any resistance to this results in you in cuffs and under arrest (or worse).

I sometimes take money out of my savings to put into my checking account to pay unexpected bills. Because my credit union (where my savings is) doesn't allow for online transfers I have to go in. I have a fear driving the 5 minutes from the credit union to a branch of my normal bank that I'll get pulled over and have the money taken. I end up hiding the envelop under seats so it isn't visible.
My memory on this is a bit hazy, but I seem to remember reading that the nuclear family and tee-totalling were related social developments that were in part motivated by social isolation.

If I remember correctly, the story goes that in Scotland there was a time that strong spirits were cheap and readily available, and that this led to many of the usual social occasions degenerating into widespread drunkenness.

To those wanting to avoid this, the only available option was to withdraw from the now 'toxic' community. These people that abstained from drinking spirits and no longer participated in the usual social occasions became both the tee-totallers and what we now call 'nuclear' families (because all socialising was now only with immediate family - picnics, etc).

edit:

(from The Oxford Companion to Scottish History)

"Temperance was a great radical popular movement in 19th- and early 20th-century Scotland. It affected the lives of millions who organized themselves outwith the accepted structures of a society cemented by the giving and sharing of drink, played a central part in the development of ideologies of self—improvement and of domestic happiness based on the nuclear family..."
Thanks, good to know. I can definitely add a frontend web app as an option as well. The reason I started with an app is because it was makes it easier (from the user's perspective) to import your podcast subscription from your existing podcast app ie) one or two button clicks vs having to save the file on your device and import into the web app.
4) You were CCNA certified. The certification expired around that time.

5) Sue the company?
I beg to differ :). For $30 you can buy a quarz-watch which will be quite accurate and work for some time. For a really well-made and durable basic quarz watch you have to pay a bit more. And far beyond that, you can easily see where the money goes if you handle a more expensive watch.

The question is: what is luxury? Is it anything beyond owning the most basic device that will perform its task for a short period in time? Is wanting a decent robustness and longlevity a luxury? I don't dispute that high-end watches have a high silliness-level as they are extremely expensive for little to no gained practical value.

But would you really need to put Serverless Aurora in a VPC? Is it even possible to do that? I expect it working like DynamoDB in this regard, the tables/database just exists and access is determined by IAM role.
Improving Your Software with Behavioral UX
I'm not sure how close to unobtainium they currently are, but I second the SuperDrive as a viable alternative to something like a Kryoflux. Given you have a 68k or other compatible Mac lying around as well, of course.

Ciderpress (windows utility) + SuperDrive-equipped Classic Mac was all I needed for all my early-1980s and Macintosh and Apple ][ related hobby adventures.

EDIT: Well I guess if you're stepping all the way down to 140KB ProDOS disks you'll need access to an Apple ][ system that can bridge the gap. Apple ][GS's are great for this.
I think that we may be talking past each other.

I'm distinguishing between something being "wrong" vs. something being "acceptable." Wrongness to me is a moral attribute; whether something is acceptable is a purely subjective and individual quality. Maybe the tantrum is unacceptable to us and to nearly every other adult in human society, but it's still subjective. I think that parents absolutely should show with their actions and words whether something is acceptable _to them_ and give advice about what will be acceptable to others (they will learn soon enough anyway). That's what GP did by showing that throwing a tantrum was an unacceptable way to get ice cream.

The key part is that he didn't then go on to say/communicate "and what you're doing is wrong and you should be ashamed of yourself," or something to that effect. The exact words don't matter, kids internalize shame very easily: if you think it's wrong or shameful, then they will get the point. It will be effective at preventing the behavior in the future, but damn, shame is like the nuclear option in my opinion when it comes to parenting. Obviously there's a healthy amount of shame that we should all have for things that are genuinely shameful. But is there really anything shameful or wrong about a lack of emotional control? The child is a child, they don't know any better.

So the question is what is unacceptable? I would argue that the tantrum itself is totally acceptable, assuming (as GP has said in follow-up comments) that it's a safe space for the child and the parent has the capacity in that moment to hold emotional space for the child. I would even argue that although the tantrum is obnoxious, the part of the tantrum where the parent says "yes, it's good to express and vent your anger"--even more so for a girl in a world where girls are told not to show anger--is downright healthy. The part that's totally unacceptable, in my opinion, is the idea that the anger will get her the ice cream. But if you say "not only will you not get this ice cream, but also you're not allowed to throw a tantrum ever because it's wrong," that kid will more likely than not internalize a certain amount of shame for her actions, and next time she wants to express anger she will feel ashamed about it. Which sucks, because that stuff, built up over time, will stick with you well into adulthood. Hence the therapist :-).
That's not accurate. Considering the enormous loopholes, corporations in the US actually pay something comparable to these other developed countries. The average company pays something between 12% [1] and 22% [2] -- much less than the ostensible tax rate. (See also [3,4].) Now we have nearly all the same loopholes and a lower base rate: a simple recipe for disaster.

My point is that while the literature is available, implementing its content is still a controlled action.

Aegis and SM-3 seem to be working for some forms of missile defense, including some BMDs.

It's a hard problem space and a lot of the apparent success/failure is really a matter of choices and tradeoffs made by the 'customers' who specify the design constraints.
This is classic old school Republicanism. The default state is to not care what the public thinks and to have no laws making such things illegal, and to have instead aggressive prosecutors and police who act like highwaymen. If you're rich you can afford a lawyer and buy your rights. If you're not, you get the default state which is fewer rights. This is how you build a two class society rather than a John Rawlsian "veil of ignorance" based society.

In Conservativism, the very idea that a person's family name, bloodline, wealth, title, are irrelevant before the law is itself unfair: people aren't equal, certain family's are better, even some of them divinely superior, and the law should not force police, prosecutors, or judges to treat people equally. No one really says this outloud but it is the base ideology of conservatism and aristocracy. Not equality. And this predates the United State's version of it.
One more reason we need cryptocurrency. Asset forfeiture is incentive for the police to steal. Given the wrong incentives, even to the best of people, you will get the wrong outcome.

I think it's a semantic difference between "attacking" and "defending". For some, attacking means the first party to engage in violence. Regardless, this was an act of violence even if it was preceded by other acts of violence.
I'm Canadian, not from the UK, but I can't imagine contracting possessive nouns with had.

Then again, this software contracts the with nouns rather aggressively ("this truth is so well fixed in t'minds of t'surrounding families") which is something I've never heard of either.
Surely this would require everyone to have perfect information at all times, otherwise how do we know if the law we conclude is wrong is based on something we didn't consider? We vote in elections, not with our actions. You're advocating anarchy.
