...such as after your laptop resets its tpm randomly which is often the first time many people learn their disk is encrypted and that there's a corresponding recovery key in their microsoft account for the data they are now unexpectedly locked out of.

that is precisely how you accomplish the same thing in docker
a lot of people parrot this, but you can always just check for yourself. the in-memory size of the dedupe tables scales with total writes to datasets with deduplication enabled, so for lots of usecases it makes sense to enable it for smaller datasets where you know it'll be of use. i use it to deduplicate fediverse media storage for several instances (and have for years) and it doesn't come at a noticeable ram cost.
put another way, how do you propose to tell this subtle nefarious chinese sabotage you baselessly imply to be commonplace from the very real limitations of this technology in the first place?
> Wreck expert Paul-Henri "P.H." Nargeolet, who was also onboard, told me he wasn't worried about what would happen if the structure of the Titan itself were damaged when at the bottom of the ocean. "Under that pressure, you'd be dead before you knew there was a problem." He said it with a smile.

is "every website now expects to run arbitrary code on the client's computer" really a more secure state of affairs? after high profile hardware vulnerabilities exploitable even from within sandboxed js?
from how many unique distributors did the average person run random untrusted apps that required sandboxing before and after this became the normal way to deliver a purely informational website and also basically everything started happening online?
it feels more natural to me to explicitly manage what gets exported and how at a different level than the keyword used to define something. i don't dislike rust's solution per se, but if you're someone like me who still instinctually does start-of-line relative searches for definitions, suddenly `fn` and `pub fn` are separate namespaces (possibly without clear indication which has the definition i'm looking for)
it's not estrogen where you would expect breast growth (and can't count on any particular changes to sexual function anyway), it's inhibiting conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone which could have that effect, much like you could spontaneously develop gynecomastia without intentionally fiddling with your hormone balance. calling it unsolved sounds a lot like calling the very many conditions with medications that have more likely and worse side effects equally unsolved.

yeah i think i'm good not returning to this guy's conception of peak gaming
