Tbf, in the era where C first had memmove, you had basically no tools for dealing with async processing even if the underlying system supported it, so maybe it's for the best it does something basic and stops there

Yeah I know we can’t win every election forever. We still have to try because no matter the other answers, they’re at least as much work and at least as much uncertainty.

I think if it outlives the scope of the program, there's only so much a generalist borrow checker can do for you. At that scale it sounds more like an OS construct that you'd query for.

Oh yeah, I forgot that wasn't established. I don't mind it, I don't think it takes away from the Rebels victory since they still had to find it unaided. (and that part wasn't Luke either way) It's also more similar to RL "evil empires" being sabotaged by coercing their workforce

You can at least drop a #[forbid(mem_forget)] in the root module to cover the obvious bases

You forgot "we're going to divert the plot for 20 minutes with the revelation that Threepio can read Sith but not repeat it out loud for legal reasons" /jk

Yeah, Rust really wants for a "unleakable" type (Including for plain state machines!) The problem is that forming a cycle out of refcounted objects is 1) safe, 2) impossible to catch at compile time, 3) extremely difficult to efficiently clean up, so unsafe forget doesn't protect you as it should

I'm not sure what you mean by restricting the interface - the slices you pass to the equivalent of memcopy don't need to be the same length as the underlying capacities, either from src or dest, but I can't think of a situation where the two lengths could be different

"Oh but you save a word if you have multiple slices tht are the same size like in memcopy"

TROS was a complete mess of retconning all the good ideas TLJ had, whereas Rogue One just told a story we hadn't seen yet, outside the mold established by the numbered films, and the only retcon was maybe missing the landing of how it connected to Ep 4

Is there a resolution that addresses papers like this one saying that some observers will conclude other observers get wrong answers? pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...
Quantum theory cannot consistently describe the use of itself
Quantum theory provides an extremely accurate description of fundamental processes in physics. It thus seems likely that the theory is applicable beyond the, mostly microscopic, domain in which it has been tested experimentally. Here, we propose a ...

Because, absent an amendment to get rid of it entirely, you want to re-legitimise it

Your overall point isn't wrong but that specific example is not fitting in my brain, maybe because I can't take Paranoia seriously

Also simplify the taxes rather than weird cliff edge marginal rates that come from policies like "your 12k basic income stops counting if you earn more than 100k"

Sorry, thought the extra counter would be implied. And I would've suggested something like heapless if there was a C++ equivalent of `cargo add`
