I mean some people are benefiting from it

You say that as if machines don’t get dirty and still require a good amount of hygiene/cleaning to keep up

Don’t get me wrong though because I am also in favor of automation only because I believe it will make some parts of work more bearable, minus the job displacement problem caused by our current economic model…

Some places are like that

If you can avoid running batch files altogether then great, amazing. But there are projects out there using Rust that still depend on running those and that’s the focus of the issue… But yeah I cannot wait until the day I won’t hear about cmd.exe again.

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/processthreadsapi/nf-processthreadsapi-createprocessa

To run a batch file, you must start the command interpreter; set lpApplicationName to cmd.exe and set lpCommandLine to the following arguments: /c plus the name of the batch file.

Because a batch file (.bat or .cmd) is basically a set of cmd.exe instructions I guess that’s why you can’t get away from it.

And as if making sense of this CreateProcessA system call wasn’t funny enough, you also need to figure out how to safely prepare that lpCommandLine for it following all of cmd.exe’s weird escaping rules… lol

It’s definitely not Rust’s fault, but it’s kinda Windows’ one and cmd.exe escape logic… It’s really difficult to write logic that will correctly escape any argument given to it, cmd.exe really is a pain to deal with :/

The Rust security team faced a significant challenge when dealing with cmd.exe’s complexity since they couldn’t find a solution that would correctly escape arguments in all cases.

As a result, they had to improve the robustness of the escaping code and modify the Command API. If the Command API cannot safely escape an argument while spawning the process, it returns an InvalidInput error.

“If you implement the escaping yourself or only handle trusted inputs, on Windows you can also use the CommandExt::raw_arg method to bypass the standard library’s escaping logic,” the Rust Security Response WG added.

I get that in situations where they can’t safely escape a parameter they’ll just stop with an error, which sound as sane as one could go with this!

It’s like piercings that healed except the hole is in the hands? I want to believe he did something so that they didn’t have to mutilate his hands every 35 times they did this… But at the same time the face he makes when they remove the nails is not reassuring me :/

Ever heard of CREDIT? /s

You’re right that this is not generating monetary gains

But it’s generating outrage towards Google when what you accuse them of doing isn’t the reality, that’s pretty disingenuous

Not defending Google as a whole, but let’s keep honest about the current developments

The day sponsored trips are the default is the day I’m dropping Maps

Please change “added a sponsored detour” to “proposed a sponsored detour” and it won’t be as misleading anymore

You’re completely right that people turned a blind eye to what the Nazis were doing for as long as they could. But once shit hit the fan the Holocaust was no null part of why people kept fighting while protecting the jewish people that were unfortunate enough to live in their region. The main goal was liberating themselves from the occupation, but what the Nazis were trying to do just made it so much more important to gain control back from these monsters.

Having a european perspective on the way this part of history is told I took the following phases away:

• Allied nations tried their best to avoid confrontation.
• Nazis attacked and WW2 began.
• The Allied lost more and more territory.
• Inside these occupied territories people did the following things:
  • Fight to liberate themselves.
  • Otherwise fight undercover to hide and protect jewish people living in their region.

So while the main reason was to gain sovereignty back, the Holocaust heavily contributed to people fighting back at all costs. Witnessing such atrocities marked europeans really hard, and teachings of this story try to emphasis the scale of the horrors that the Nazis were inflicting to occupied places. It’s documented, witnesses are still somewhat around to tell what they’ve seen and if not their testimony was properly shared with later generations.

All that to say that while WW2 was fought over protecting sovereignty, it became more than that once people ended up as the first witnesses of the ongoing genocide.

Now I have to say that I have no idea what’s a north-american perspective on that matter.

what do they think WW2 was fought over?

Brought to you by unchecked rent-seeking behavior:

When the goal is no longer to be productive to earn money but to earn money in whatever way possible.

How is lab grown meat change for the sake of change? There’s obvious benefits to it: no more need to breed beings just to eat them, less resource-intensive, frees up land, and I might be missing others

I am never sick when doing roller coasters or reading in a moving car, but I was really nauseous after my first 15-min VR session. I was pretty scared I fucked up buying a Valve Index only to get that much sick playing… But I had a feeling (hope?) that I could get used to it: After about 2 weeks of playing a bit every night I was no longer getting sick at all. I can go until the controllers run out of battery now.

To me the effort was worth it, but I have a friend that was the opposite and didn’t enjoy experiencing virtual worlds that way…

My advice: If you ever try it then try to ignore the sickness -as you can get used to it- and focus on how much you enjoy being immersed in virtual worlds.
