You can have a memory leak when items are still in scope in some loop or when you have a reference count cycle. The latter happens with the Rc/Arc types in rust.

An example for the former can be a web server that keeps track of every request it’s ever received in memory. You will eventually run out of memory. But you did not violate any memory rules (dangling pointer, etc.). Memory leaks can be caused by design issues.

You don’t need unsafe. Just keep pushing to a vec and never remove anything. Memory leaks are more than lost memory allocations. You can even have them with rc/arc cycles

Rust doesn’t prevent memory leaks. You can do that in every language

VRR is variable refresh rate. Not sure about the others

I organized and threw away cables a few times. Every time a week or two later I’d find the things the power cables attached to and now have no replacement because they were unique to the device.

People become nicer on the east coast of Florida as you go away from Miami.

You’re misreading the ..+? part. That means 2 or more characters, non greedy.

I don’t find this surprising at all. So many windows updates broke dual booting over years. They really don’t care and have no need to.

They don’t change things just for the sake of it. They change things so they can point at it and say, “look what I did! I deserve a promotion!”

You didn’t get any instructions before hand? Is this in higher education or earlier?

You having regrets depends on your expectations. If you want a very stable system with little maintenance then you’ll be happy. Packages will be older but that’s what makes it easy to keep stable.

I’m not personally a fan of vanilla Debian because the stable versions are a bit too outdated for the things I like to work with. I do use Debian derivatives though the LTS versions.

Because the seals on the mask itself weren’t rated and they didn’t go through FDA authorization. You HAVE to go through FDA clearance if you want to claim your product meets medical standards.

I highly doubt someone who’s struggling with a phone is going to do well with a screen projected on your hand that has very sensitive hand interaction requirements.

I knew someone who did this but swapped out the physical hard drive each time. I wouldn’t dual boot because then it’s much more obvious to IT what you’ve done.

This is only realistically feasible though if the hard drive is easily accessible. If it’s something like a Mac or soldered in dual booting is your only choice. As others have said, this could get you in a lot of trouble with your company. Check the docs you’ve signed

Ublock origin on Firefox. You’ll be shocked at how fast pages will load

Well I see the 5th pin from the top on the far left looks like it’s missing solder. The rest of the board is extremely dirty and hard to tell.

It’s great for getting started at understanding. You can not become fluent with it though.

But how do I know if the WHERE clause is AND or OR?

It shouldn’t break if you just install packages from the main app installer. It’s more of a concern if you’re trying to install anything from source.

Also make sure to try a live cd or live USB to make sure the OS is compatible with your hardware. VM is not sufficient for this last one. This is usually only an issue if you have very new hardware.

I would get comfortable with the idea of breaking things. Make regular backups of your data. The best that I’m aware of for making it easy to work backwards from breaking things is NixOS, but I wouldn’t consider it beginner friendly.

You learn a lot from trying to bring a system back online. But it depends if you’re trying Linux to learn it more or just to take advance of privacy.
