Dragon ball: Budokai Tenkaichi

I see you ignored my entire comment.

I don’t know what is more explicit about expect. Unwrap is as explicit as it gets without directly calling panic!, it’s only 1 abstraction level away. It’s literally the same as expect, but without a string argument. It’s probably top 10 functions most commonly used in rust, every rust programmer knows what unwrap does.

Any code reviewer should be able to see that unwrap and flag it as a potential issue. It’s not a weird function with an obscure panic side effect. It can only do 2 things: panic or not panic, it can be implemented in a single line. 3 lines if the panic! Is on a different line to the if statement.

An unhanded error will always result on a panic (or a halt I guess). You cannot continue the execution of the program without handling an error (remember, just ignoring it is a form of handling). You either handle the error and continue execution, or you don’t and stop execution.

A panic is very far from a segfault. In apparent result, it is the same. However, a panic is a controlled stopping of the program’s execution. A segfault is a forced execution stop by the OS.

But the OS can only know that it has to segfault if a program accesses memory outside its control.

If the program accesses memory that it’s under it’s control, but is outside bounds, then the program will not stop the execution, and this is way worse.

EDIT: As you said, it’s also an important difference that a panic will just stop the thread, not the entire process.

Replace uncaught exception for unhanded error.

“unwrap should not exist” is true as long as you don’t want to ever use the language. If you actually want to use it, you need it. At least while developing.

Some values cannot have a default value. And some cases it’s preferable to panic even if it has a default value.

unwrap is not the problem. Cloudflare’s usage is.

It’s really hard to do without Rc (or similar) or unsafe.

You can’t shrink the yardstick down to an infinitesimal size.

Coastlines are not well defined. They change in time with tides and waves. And even if you take a picture and try to measure that, you still have to decide at what point exactly the sea ends and the land starts.

If the criteria for that is “the line is where it would make a fractal” then sure, by that arbitrary decision, it is infinite. However, a way better way to answer the question “where is the line” is to just decide on a fixed resolution (or variable if you want to get fancy), which makes the distinction between sea and land clearer.

It is like saying that an electron is everywhere in the universe, because of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle. While it is very technically true, just pick a resolution of 1mm^3 and you know exactly where the electron is.

Formal and informal is not the same in plural.

“Ustedes” is formal, “vosotros” is informal. Although Mexicans (and many other south Americans) don’t use the informal version, it doesn’t mean that it doesn’t exist.

Some countries also say “vos” for singular. I don’t know if that replaces “tú” or “usted” though.

It’s not minor, but commuting. If every job that could be done from home was always done from home, those people would save 100% of their commuting time. They would also leave room so the ones that have to commute can go faster (in case of road) or enjoy more space (in case of rail).

Data storage devices are the last items you wanna buy second hand though. A drive failing could mean much more than just having to buy a new one.

The problem is not the AI integration. Along with AI integration they changed their stance on data selling.

It went from “We promise to never sell your data” to “Firefox is secure!” Just as they were adding AI.

Yes, I know about that one. That is code made specifically to reproduce a bug in the compiler. Unless you do it on purpose, there’s no way you’d get hit by it. If it were, they would have fixed it, it’s been known for several years.

I would love to see a study about people that follow C++ best practices. Put a bunch of C++ devs and tell them to write some programs. Then see how many of those programs would be valid according to rust’s borrow checker.

Whatever % of people that “fail” this test, is much higher than the 0% of people that would do so using rusts’ compiler.

Of course, programs that don’t pass the borrow checker can be totally memory safe, but that would need to be analyzed on a case by case basis.

I’ve only seen it once. And it was made specifically to trigger a compiler bug. It barely looked like rust code.

Now tell me how someone will introduce such a bug by accident. Winning the lottery 10000 times in a row with the same number isn’t impossible either. But we are engineers, not pure math pedantics. 0.000000000000001% probability for something that happens with less frequency than once per second is impossible.

Easy. Do some specific incantation that barely looks like it follows rust syntax that is specifically made to exploit a bug in the rust compiler.

This comment was surprisingly easy to read. Definitely easier than if it were for the “th” sound

The problem with that is that reviewing takes time. Valuable maintainer time.

Curl faced this issue. Hundreds of AI slop “security vulnerabilities” were submitted to curl. Since they are security vulnerabilities, they can’t just ignore them, they had to read every one of them, only to find out they weren’t real. Wasting a bunch of time.

Most of the slop was basically people typing into chatgpt “find me a security vulnerability of a project that has a bounty for finding one” and just copy-pasting whatever it said in a bug report.

With simple MRs at least you can just ignore the AI ones an priorize the human ones if you don’t have enough time. But that will just lead to AI slop not being marked as such in order to skip the low-prio AI queue.

I hope they are prepare for the AI slop DDoS. Curl wasn’t, and they didn’t even state they would welcome AI contributions.

Pokemon uranium is playable on PC, I don’t think it works in consoles. Played it long time ago so I don’t remember how good it is though.

I don’t know how easy it would be to find though since Nintendo shut it down.

The difference between treason and a revolution is which side wins at the end.

Just make sure you’re enough people doing it.
