I already do. Why are you whining about that?

Well, for example, if they do business here, they have to partner with a local company who owns a 51% share.

As he has already mentioned, his mom is an alcoholic. The symptoms of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder will vary depending on what stage of gestation the fetus was in during alcohol consumption. In rsilvergun's case, he's got the whole spectrum. That explains a lot of things about him, such as short temper, short stature, weak jaw, small head (microcephaly), learning disability, impulsivity, inattentiveness, poor judgement, poor memory, poor analytical skills, difficulty determining reality from fantasy, struggling with daily tasks like bathing, and more.

You may remember that he admitted that he is a low functioning autistic, but that's actually not true, rather those are just symptoms of FASD.

Well from TFS, that isn't even what the concern is:

They went into it with this idea that their pedigree guaranteed they'd have a cushy job somewhere. That has never been the case. I still remember about a year ago slashdot ran a piece about a construction worker who went to a coding bootcamp expecting that he'd get a high paying programming job, and the narrative is that it didn't happen because AI.

But that's just downright false, not to mention really naive and stupid, as any experienced developer will tell you. Even before AI, going to a boot camp might have gotten you a $30k salaried position at a shitty software mill somewhere in Bumblefuck, South Dakota. And only if you were lucky.

And having a CS degree did the same, only not needing quite as much luck. You'd still need to show what interesting projects you've done before you'd land a higher paid spot, whether in school or at a smaller software company.

Either that or don't do any of this, be self-taught, then apply those skills to your existing job, whatever that may be, then be able to describe interesting problems you've solved and/or projects you've worked on while in that job, or even hobby projects. This is the route I took. Demonstrable experience beats paper, full stop. But it's still no guarantee either. We've turned down a lot of experienced developers. In fact, if you're the kind of person who thinks a software mill job is beneath you for your first job and/or you're god's gift to software, then even if you are good, we'll probably turn you down as well.

Who was ever asking for censorship of the web back then? The closest thing to censorship demands I can recall during that period were e.g. Hillary Clinton, Janet Reno, Joe Lieberman, Herb Kohl, and a number of other "who's who" of the Democratic party demanding a crackdown on video games, mostly because of Night Trap. Apparently it wasn't wholesome enough for their values. It featured a scene of a "scantily clad" female having something done to her that any sane person would just laugh at, but the word on the street was that it was a rape scene. Even though it was nothing even close to that, the party determined that this rumor was all of the evidence that they needed for a crackdown.

The party's response to it was pretty hilarious.

That was the inspiration behind Desert Bus.

Dunno why we don't just give China the same ongoing treatment they already give us. Fair is fair, after all.

It sounds like the EU and the UK have the same idea, so no, Russia does not count as everybody. Besides, rsilverjinping the poo, if it was unfair to your country, then why do you already have much more strict policies in your own country? You don't even follow your own obligations as a member of the WTO.

Not exactly. The 9th circuit gave apple permission to charge something for the privilege of using the app store. Just how much they can charge is another matter. They did not, however, permit apple to force apps to use tracking links, or transaction auditing, or anything to that effect, which the lower court took away from apple.

So that's the rub -- how does apple determine how much money changed hands? This could be the first move towards a malicious compliance scheme. Which is pretty bold if so, because they're already on thin ice with the courts, but at the same time, that reality doesn't seem to have sunk in. Their ability to bill anything at all was taken away by the lower court specifically because apple has shown that they will abuse every last inch that they are given. The 9th circuit gave them half of an inch here, and if they try to stretch it to a mile, that probably won't end well. They may try regardless, because they're apple.

Most iFans do.

A bit telling is that they seem to give themselves discretion of the fee amount, which implies that they believe they have some sort of proper accounting for how many external purchases made and what their amounts were.

How would they even do that in the US? The injunction explicitly denies apple the means of tracking this. Might be the same in other jurisdictions as well.

I mostly use proton. Even if they kill off my account, I still have offline backups. I also own my email domain, so I won't lose my email address either, unless my registrar decides to do something they're not legally allowed to do.

Do you pay? Yeah. You pay with Google and Apple too, whether you realize it or not. But unlike them, proton gives you an honest price, and you, not them, hold all of the keys. Literally.

I dunno, Apple thinks they have enough clout to blatantly lie to a federal judge and ignore an injunction without consequence. What chance do you think this guy has?

Aside from the choice screens, you can already do all of this on Android. Why does anybody buy anything that doesn't give you these options to begin with? That's just asking to be enshitified at some point. Safari is already enshitified.

Though maybe I'm not the typical iphone demographic. I don't use stupid apps. Basically everything I do is in Firefox. With extensions to disenshitify websites. Maybe what separates me from iOS users is when Reddit says "time to sign in with a shitty app" I say "fuck you, reddit" and disable that crap with ublock if I really need it that bad. Whereas ArchieBunker says "oh yay! a new app! There's an app for that!" and then proceeds to hum the apple ad piano melody.

I don't see any pointer semantics in that. Am I missing something?

Which part of it? The exploit itself? Should be pretty easy, just inject a nop sled til you are memory aligned after the final byte of the unchecked buffer. That's nothing more than pure data; an ordinary vec![0u8; N] will do. Or do you mean the first stage? If so, then anything other than handcrafted machine code is doing it wrong. Which is also just data. Or do you mean any later stages? If so, then you're on crack.

Why bother when you've got slices and iterators? Show me a case where unsafe rust gives you a way of doing this that's even more lazy than safe rust.

It occurs when you need to read or write into a data structure from one ABI into another ABI. Which can be a thing even within the same language.

Socialism will need a wall any time any two economies aren't being run by the same dictator. That's why anybody traveling from the USSR to Yugoslavia required extra-special permission and a KGB chaperone.
