I’m wary of these kinds of stories, where someone PR-savvy with a grudge lobs nebulous complaints against a company. Can anyone at BO without a grudge substantiate this “toxicness”?

Re:Deserializing Binary Data Files in Rust

For integer primitives, all possible values are valid. Just allowing binary initialization for structs that consist of integer types would allow compatibility with C structure. As it is, I have to either resort to unsafe code or manually deserialize every struct

I really wish there was a safe way to initialize structs with arbitrary binary data in rust. Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems intuitively safe, especially if the struct only contains integer primitives.

I'd feel better if the mob cited his lifetime of shittiness, rather than focusing on exactly one incident. My favorite was when he gloated over Steve Jobs' death the day after he died: http://stallman.org/archives/2011-jul-oct.html#06_October_20...

This is not the same point addressed in the post. The post references the 80/20 attractiveness bias. YetAnotherMatt is referencing a different phenomenon - that men rate women similarly to each other, whereas women rate men with much higher variance.

It’ll blow up some time after the abort sequence, due to loss of active control at a relatively low altitude and relatively high speed. It’s not simulating an explosion as part of the test, AFAIK.

Re:Uptime 15,364 days – The Computers of Voyager [video]

Voyager 2's computer was reset in 2010:
https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/news/details.php?article_id=16
It suddenly started returning corrupted frames. So engineers had it slowly transmit a core dump, and found a single flipped bit. To fix the problem, they "reset" the computer, which I assume means they rebooted it.

If anyone's gone through this trouble already, care to explain how you did it? I've been thinking about rolling a VPS with postfix/dovecot, but it seems like such a hassle to maintain, and I'm not super confident in my ability to secure it.
