Yes, there is `Vec` that allows arbitrary length arrays, and iterators implement those other functions

The update was live for a couple hours, and I am sure a lot of people purchased the cheaper (against the rules) option. They now have an exact number to tell the courts how much they are loosing to Apple, instead of a hypothetical situation where Apple could argue that customers love apple pay and would use apple pay over 3rd party payment systems.

Direct access via the companies themselves is probably much more valuable today.
`TraceLoggingUInt32(_rguiTimesApiUsed[GetConsoleAliases], "GetConsoleAliases"),`
Is that sending Microsoft all of my bash/zsh aliases? And what about `TraceLoggingUInt32(_rguiTimesApiUsed[GetConsoleTitle], "GetConsoleTitle"),`
If it works how most other Terminals I have used - that is going to send the name of the program I am running or host I am connected to to Microsoft. I think that is pretty invasive if you ask me.
Can someone explain to me how BTreeMap is more memory efficient than a HashMap?
> The ability for science to change and adapt is what makes it so strong
To me this article is them _resisting_ change, looking for a reason NOT to accept it, because it goes against what they previously said. Maybe this is all to early, and in a year or so we will be seeing 4 or 4.5 degree predictions, but this article describes them trying to change their inputs to match previous answers, not getting new answers.
> "So we can't throw them out yet."
This might be an elementary view of science, but I think there is a danger here that while everyone is making their models, if anyone is an outlier they go and tweak their model to match the patterns of others: 'Klaus Wyser’s group "switched off" some of the new cloud and aerosol settings in their model, he said, and that sent climate sensitivity back down to previous levels'. That seems to me a questionable reason to "switch off" part of the model - you should create the most accurate simulation possible and trust the output, not tweak the inputs to match literature data.
The other ones in the Science category are also quite interesting.

> off chance the suicide vest was real
Would you argue that what the police officer did was wrong here? Is lethal force not justified with the credible threat of violence? I would argue that someone threatening you with a Airsoft gun with the tip taken out so it appears to be a real gun is enough to justify deadly force in self defense, you don't have to verify that gun is real. In hindsight, it is clear that you could have arrested him without shooting him, but that was not at all clear in the situation, and having that firearm could have saved dozens if the vest was real.
2. > In this instance
And, for arguments sake, if this was a different situation where the vest was real, what would you say?
By giving up private firearm ownership you are putting the safety of yourself and your loved ones in the hands of the government. This article is an example of why it is dangerous to do that.
I think you are spot on with the intrinsic interest.
I know a lot of people in school who have to use a generally well regarded technology, but hate it because they had to use it in a class. For example, they might see someone on github and go “oh is that github? I hate using git” when in reality they had to use it in a group project with 4 other people who have never used it, and had no understanding of branches, merging, etc.
I have seen the same thing with LaTeX, Python, and Vim.
> If you deal with sensitive documents like legal artifacts in immigration cases, you want to have control over which of your documents wind up in the cloud and which you retain custody over.
This is incredibly easy with Dropbox or Google Drive. Everyone I know who uses these services has an intuitive knowledge for 'stuff in this folder goes in the cloud', and if they wanted to keep sensitive data off it they would know exactly how.
I am on an iPad, so no mature options for encrypting it myself with pgp or something really exist. I shouldn't upload it to a cloud service (although chances are that it already is, because pretty much every iOS app uses a cloud of some sort). I shouldn't email it. I can't plug in a physical usb device because iOS doesn't have File reading access to. I guess I convince everyone to use Signal? That is pretty impractical for 'normal' people to convert everyone over to their own messaging app.
Also, on your phone, what browser do you use? Chrome? Well, not really because it is all webkit under the hood, so you are going to be using Safari no matter what.
> Google Mail is, for most people, the safest email service, with the most mature and comprehensive 2FA, direct connectivity to GDocs to make viewing attachments safer
> If you work with sensitive documents (this checklist was originally devised for journalists and the airport lawyers), all the cloud drive services (not just Google Drive) are a bad idea.
So is Google Drive a good idea or a bad idea? Maybe for normal people Gmail is good, but in the next point you say this list is for journalists and airport lawyers, wouldn't you advice them to use something more secure like fastmail/proton mail, or if you are serious, your own mail server or something? Why does this list not talk about TOR / PGP, the most fundamental tools for security for journalists?
> Chrome is the safest browser with the most mature and reliable anti-exploitation hardening and the most responsive security team.
I don't think this is true at all. What is wrong with Chromium or Firefox open source alternatives? Why doesn't it mention things like no-script and ublock origin?
> iOS devices are, for most people, far more secure than computers, which aren't locked down at all and for which any kind of local code execution is almost invariably game-over all the way through the kernel, and at least game over for all of the user's data. Most computer users are never more than an errant couple of clicks away from losing their whole machine to an attacker, which is not the case for someone reading their mail on an iPad.
My fundamental problem with this is that if you are going to be doing things on an iPad you are almost certainly going to be using cloud services. Weather it is Google Docs or Pages or Word or anything, it is very difficult to keep things 'local' to your hard drive on a iPad, where on a computer with dropbox it is much more clear that files in there are going to leave your computer.
> Do as much of your work as possible on an iPhone or iPad rather than on a laptop. Use a bluetooth keyboard for easier typing.
Is that serious? I mean sure, iPhones and iPads are generally less prone to viruses and such, but I feel like it is generally safe to use computers, and if you do other things on this list you won't end up with an infected computer. In addition, if you are doing most your work on these, it is almost guaranteed that all the information is going to be sent to iCloud / another apps 'cloud'.

Which makes it sound like they worked something out so that this doesn't effect their travel.
