"Rust’s safety is ontological — correctness is part of being. C++ safety is epistemological — correctness must be known (but often isn’t)."

ChatGPT - Rust unwrap vs C++ unsafe Shared via ChatGPT

Conversation: chatgpt.com/share/691f59... #rust #c++

In my feed, I see some posts about the recent unwrap debacle. So I asked my "team" for feedback... "Is using unwrap in Rust unknowingly the same as not using safe features of the standard library in C++? Short answer: no — assuming they are the same is a category mistake."

procdump -i -ma doesn't work either. I haven't tested custom types, though. Alternatively, you can set application-specific subkeys if you want to keep DumpType=2 globally. Also, you can save the full x64 dump from a WinDbg session.

On current Windows 11 ARM64, full x64 process memory dumps (DumpType=2) are not saved via the LocalDumps registry key; only dumps from ARM64 and x86 processes are saved. However, setting DumpType=1 saves x64 process memory minidumps.

On Windows ARM64, you can debug x64 userspace processes using WinDbg. This greatly simplifies my training sessions as I can cover both architectures simultaneously:

Memory Dump Analysis Anthology, Volume 17

I've submitted the ultra-premium color paperback of Memory Dump Analysis Anthology, Volume 17, to print production.

However, it took considerable "finite" time even on x64. On Android or macOS, it takes seconds, which can be attributed to poor app architecture on Windows platforms.

This may explain why launching the Kindle app takes an "infinite" amount of time when I have the fully downloaded Kindle library, so I had to download only a few books instead of all of them.

One of the cool features of Windows 11 ARM64 that I discovered is full emulation of x64 programs (not available on Windows 10). For example, my old Acrobat Pro X from 2012, which I need for publishing, works well without noticeable delays and even faster than on my previous x64 laptop.
