There is no extant C compiler implemented in Rust that is anywhere near the sophistication of this compiler: there's nothing to directly "copy".

If a human read a shit-ton of compiler books and somehow absorbed the code for every open-source compiler, and then produced a to-spec C compiler in just 2 weeks, I would be very impressed. I wouldn't diss them by saying "you just read every textbook out there"

I will just continue to say, opsec does matter, now more than ever.

Please do not look to Johnny-come-lately "all the anarchists I don't like are feds, actually" adventurists for opsec advice.

Especially when they've spent the past 48 hours saying it's good and virtuous to snitch-record protesters

You . What I am saying is that liberals don't get to say "vote blue no matter who" and then turn around and also dictate what tactics protestors and activists use.

Do you mean in return position or argument position? I love it in argument position because I don't have to pollute my actual generic arguments with implementation details (and not all traits are object-safe).

Lmao, and normie libs, with all their billions in resources, helped prevent fascism exactly how?

In Hindi (and presumably other Indian languages) Jira means cumin lol

lol it would be real great if people complaining about anarchism took a moment to read up on even, say, the wiki page

impl Rng(Core) too!

Upgrading editions can require changes, yes, but every Rust compiler understands and can compile code from old editions.

Yes, Rust has strong backwards compatibility guarantees

Hadn't realised that the third party review of Twitter's chat protocol had been published and wow github.com/trailofbits/...

People talk about who has citizenship and who does not as though these are absolute, ontological qualities that confer moral worth, as opposed to legal fictions invented by the state to distinguish between an in-group and an out-group, and can be conferred or withdrawn at any time.

I added bluesky comments to my photoblog, so any replies appear as comments there! Pretty seemless with this blog post: elmc.at/bluesky-comm...

Escalation has already started. Every successful activist movement requires a diversity of tactics.

It is perhaps understandable for Indians in India to think like this; usually it stems from a misbegotten nationalism.

But people of Indian-descent who grew up outside India also hold such beliefs, no doubt in large part due to phenomena like those you outlined

Unfortunately some times this ahistorical revisionism is adopted even by the post-colonial subject.

Eg there is a not insignificant number of Indians who think that India pre-colonisation was a paradise for women.

Also, there was plenty of popular support for, eg, the Black Panthers.

There is no popular support for the “government pointing guns”. See, eg BLM , now, etc.

When you completely give up your rights to self defense to the state, you make yourself vulnerable to the state.

that is an extremely reductive view of the Indian independence movement. Indians had plenty of avenues of anti-British protest, including violent ones. In the end the tipping factor was probably just the UK coming under *Western* pressure to give up colonies.

Your reminder that cops in LA maje $20 to $30k more than starting tenure track faculty in the CSU system. In case you’re curious about priorities.

Once again, immigration is not even a problem. Immigrants are not more criminal, they don't cost jobs, they don't harm the economy. There is no reason for any of this. It is hurting ourselves to hurt them.

These temperatures would be cold even in Celsius…

Funny thing is that text does talk about non-Western sources such as the Quran and Native American traditions, so maybe they just didn’t look hard enough?
