I'm not a constitutional lawyer, but I don't think this is right at all. Whether or not he "technically" won in 2016, the election was officially certified and he went on to serve a 4 year term. That term isn't invalidated even if electoral irregularities are discovered after the fact.

Not sure what the situation is on the NVIDIA side, but Mesa's raytracing performance is... lacking. Don't get me wrong; it's amazing that it works as well as it does, but even with a high-end card it's not the best experience. I don't personally care much about RT, but if I were more into it I would probably consider setting up a Windows dual-boot.

The way I look at it is that most of my time spent fighting with the compiler is usually made up for in time saved debugging. I'm in the process of RIIRing a hobby project and so far most of the ported code just works, and I only end up needing to fix a few dumb logic mistakes before it's fully up and running.

I mean, you can't exactly just throw computing power at modern cryptography and expect to get results. I don't know the exact numbers off the top of my head, but I believe all the computing power on Earth right now would take on the order of at least thousands of years to brute force a good password hash (assuming a strong password), and that's assuming the attacker already has the salt. This makes it less of a budgetary constraint and much more of a practical one.

The title is incorrect. The patches have been rebased against the 6.13 tree but have not yet been accepted or merged.

You're generally required to provide identification if you're arrested and in some US states police can compel you to identify yourself under certain other circumstances, but otherwise yes, in the US you are never required to talk to police beyond this.

I'm not going to respond with a lot of depth because I don't think I have a good enough understanding here to be particularly helpful, but I suspect a collar would be considered as inappropriate in a school because of its strong association with BDSM practices alongside the general societal expectation that one's sexuality is kept out of the public eye. I think that notion can also apply more broadly to the situation as a whole, at least to an outside observer.

Speak for yourself. I buy stuff for my apartment because I want it to feel homey; I don't really care what other people think of it as long as it looks presentable.

This generally isn't true. The SSA makes an effort to assign a unique number to each individual. It's happened before where two people have accidentally gotten the same SSN, but they try to avoid this.

In what ways do you feel Rust is too clunky and how do you think it could be improved? Not looking to argue or even disagree necessarily; I'm just curious where that perspective comes from.

Another interesting aspect of this is that many of the German loanwords used in English rely on this fact without English speakers realizing it. For instance: Schadenfreude = "misfortune pleasure", Zeitgeist = "time ghost", and Doppelgänger = "double walker".
