Except I think it’s interesting this was not generalizable. The Spanish were looking for people, just different people at first. Cortez for example landed and immediately “employed” hundreds of native people to come up with some wealth to pay off the exploration debt. The friars were specifically there to convert people to Catholicism.

The British puritans were looking to build their personal Utopia, but the Spanish and others, it seems to me, were looking for a populated colony from the start.

True, though, bushtits are ferocious.

The quote/decision from the organization is a year old and presumably what the vote was hoping to overturn. The article confuses by telling the story backward.

Does it still count if there’s nothing left to shoot?

Wow, ok you said that and I was like I’ve totally seen that price on the regular, which is why I stick to gala, but I went looking and can’t find anything over $2.49, so, way to go, you fixed inflation! What else don’t you believe?

I would love to see this become more common as a sport because the mechanics are just so different and so the strategies will be more diverse-- fun to be at the early stage of learning. The article suggests quadrupedal racers have not even been using the most efficient gait and many other optimizations may yet be realized, so I think their prediction is likely, but not really the point to me.

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?

They should have one for heterosexuality, too, if it’s all about tastes.

Here you go: Raksura by Martha Wells, of Murderbot fame.

Ok, this is my new favorite comment ever

They’re removing ads from the site based on content standards they have agreed to with the advertisers. They’re not censoring anything and have only notified you of the changes you would need to make if you want to keep their business. You are not owed revenue from Google or anyone else.

Is it a problem that so much of the Internet, including your site, “depends” on corporate advertising? Yes. Is that censorship? No. You are free to find your own sponsors.

Obviously, the British.

Beautiful! Is it creamy, like a bisque?

This is what I’ve heard, that basically if we were stomped back to single celled life today, evolution would not have time to bring back visible plants and animals before the earth became uninhabitable. So there’s no starting over. I admit it kind of depresses me.

Yeah, I would count that as ready to math in real time. I don’t trust myself to do much in my head anymore.

I’ve heard complaints of senior software engineers who, though they do all carry calculators in their pockets and even usually have laptops open in front of them in the meetings, avoid doing math of any kind (simple order of magnitude multiplication, for example) in front of other people. Which makes group decision-making super obtuse.

So, maybe there is something for teachers to do along the lines of let’s get confident and quick at doing this math however you want to do it. I hope things are changing in this direction.

Oh, I think he can bank on that. What I see is people looking to third parties. I just don’t think anything good will come of that.

Personally, I can’t honestly threaten to vote against him, but I do understand other people feeling differently, and I definitely wish he’d make it less gross for me.

I don’t expect Joe Biden to act against his interests, but I also can’t believe he thinks this is in his interest! Are there that many people in America who think this is the right thing to do? People danced when Henry Kissinger died, who fails to see the legacy of this?
