Technically they do via a footnote... but it's a pretty confusing one at that!
The FLS stood for the "Ferrocene Language Specification". The minimal fork of Rust that Ferrous Systems qualifies and ships to their customers is called "Ferrocene", hence the name. We'll be dropping the expansion and just calling it the FLS within the Project.
So now it stands for... nothing. Bizarre.
It's not hard and fast but:
Apart from API they don't really have strict definitions so they'll be used interchangeably and differently depending on the language.

The 10th of Duember?
I wonder what criteria he has for considering Rust to be a success. Everyone stops writing C++ overnight? Obviously stupid.
Rust is a massive success. This guy is just impatient. Rust is better than C++ in the same way ARM is better than x86. Intel is still alive but would you invest?
The C++ standards committee don't see memory safety or UB as a problem. If they did they wouldn't keep introducing new footguns, e.g. forgetting return_void() in a coroutine. They still think everyone should just learn the entire C++ spec and not make mistakes.
Wow, they (apparently) finally made the REPL not suck! I always thought it was weird how shit it was given that it's one of the big reasons Python has become as popular as it is.
Maybe in another 20 years they can make the package tooling not suck too.
Good. I had a couple of answers to one of my questions that just wasted my time before I realised they were AI. The authors didn't get banned annoyingly.
valid criticism of his own defense
To be clear that post makes a valid point (don't defend people just because they seem nice or dedicated or whatever), but it isn't a valid criticism of Chris's post because he didn't do that.
He did say Tim is nice and dedicated etc. etc. but he also went through the specific crimes that Tim was supposed to have committed and refuted them.
I read a load of Tim's comments and this was definitely a case of the CoC people getting annoyed with someone who disagreed with them and wouldn't give up. There wasn't anything remotely ban-worthy.
This sounds like a great improvement. I have read the sudo source code and anyone that seriously thinks there's no problem with it being SUID is crazy.
That said the whole security model of sudo makes no sense. As soon as you can access a sudoers' account you can trivially steal their password by MitMing sudo and waiting.
Yeah IIRC it deletes them, which is as mad as you would expect. Maybe they've fixed that since I used it last which was some years ago.
Yeah this is one of the main reasons why Stackoverflow's question closing policies are bullshit. We're going to close the question so nobody can answer it... but they can still upvote it and it will still be ranked highly on Google!
Bunch of idiots.
You know the SO Devs actually tried to improve this a while ago - I think you would be able to reopen your question once or something. Of course the power-hungry mods hated that idea and the abandoned it.
At this point it's unfixable. They depend on their unpaid mods and they've already attracted the sort of people you absolutely don't want to moderate a site.
The only hack I've found is that if your question gets downvoted/closed you are allowed to delete it, wait half an hour and ask it again. Much better odds of success than editing the question.
This has to be a joke.
