Personally, I disregard Servo because I've been hearing about it for 10 years. I'll start paying attention again when they remove the "don't log into your bank with Servo" warning.

Done. Now you can use it.

Do you not review libraries you add to your project? A quick scan of the issues page if it's on a forge? Or just reading through the code if it's small enough (or select functions)?

Code is the ultimate specification. I don't trust the docs if the behavior is different from what it's saying (or more often fails to mention). And anything that deals with recursive structures (or looping without a clear counter and checks) is my one of the first candidate for checks.

> has no way to handle the overflow case after the fact.

Fork/Vendor the code and add your assertions.

If you review libraries, why do you need to quick scan the issues? You would have already identified all the issues right? Right?

All the big brains in Silicon Valley can invent a bl*wj*b machine that is sync'd to a cloud-connected VR headset but can't build a machine to pick apples or tomatoes efficiently?

Perhaps our priorities as a society are misplaced.

you make it sound so easy - why haven't you built it?

Comparative advantage.

Consider this vague hypothetical, because I'm not American and don't care about the specifics:

Country A, average wage X; country B, minimum wage for legal residents 2X. People from A can on average get a pay rise by working in B while undercutting legal residents of B. Citizens of B then get the stuff cheaper than they otherwise would have, but also might not be as easy to employ.

Are current employment stats accurate? As in do they tell the right picture or is this a case of "lies, damn lies, and statistics"? Lots of people say it's the later, and unfortunately I'm not qualified to explore anyone's arguments.

no company is telling on themselves saying "We hire illegal immigrants to harvest our crops and paying them below minimum wage"

Whats [additionally] infuriating for me is all of this is funded by my tax bill. Both Hyundai taking massive federal incentives, and the subsequent arrests.

I just think of the money wasn't collected/handed out to them in the first place we wouldn't be in this situation.

you fail to understand basic economics. states AND countries provide tax breaks to lure in businesses with certain agreements. In the long term, this provides jobs, training, benefits local economy, income taxes, raises property values, increases property taxes, etc.

And your tax contribution to would be %.0001. There are MANY things about the government to be infuriated at but this isn't one of them.

No, they would be paying lower net taxes. US citizens are eligible for government services.

where I live, illegals get government services whether they pay taxes or not. Welcome to socialism

isn't this typical Microsoft behavior? Just look at Windows and how many components are forced upon you. Try uninstalling it, it just comes right back. Most of it, you can't even uninstall. Some you can't even unpin. That's a monopoly for you. And they steal your documents by making OneDrive the default so they can train their AI. It's malicious.
