I get notifications, but generally don’t read them until I’m taking a break, maybe 4 times a day. No one has complained. If they did, I’d tell them to call me if it’s an emergency. I’m guessing about half would never make a phone call if they could help it, so it’s a good bluff. Also I don’t mind receiving phone calls.

Thanks

Do you have a link?

Not saying you’re wrong, but just to add, [this article] (https://www.opb.org/article/2022/11/18/demolition-plan-of-four-klamath-river-dams-moves-forward/) gives a good account of the issues with several dams along one river. The electric company saves money by demolishing compared to building required fish ladders. They were already expecting less and less power from the dams due to low water levels, which may be drought or competition with irrigation. The dams only accounted for 2% of the electricity they sold, so I’m not sure how big the replacement project will be, if any.

One thing to note is that activism like this does normally happen in “spurts”. The legislative cycle is very long and most projects that eventually achieve government backing also require a lot, even matching, private money. Backers may go through several rounds of hype before catching the attention of a big local family or other donor that makes the whole thing plausible enough for the government to act on.

The thing that triggers the alarm is flat and often applied as sticker. Most likely the bold design is meant to alert the cashier to deactivate it. But if you’re suggesting that you can just keep walking after the alarm goes off, I think your chances are good, unless like all the Walmarts near me, there is a police officer in the exit lobby.

I think about the venting: one thing you can do when you know you’ve gone too far with it is just to thank them for listening and tell them it makes you feel better to be able to say it all out loud. Just turn the conversation away from your problems and leave them with a good feeling at the end.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.
