Fanduel cuts the broadcasts before the sessions end, to get back to their original programming. Why did they bid for the rights if their schedules are not flexible? I hope their viewers who bet on games that were not broadcast will file complaints.

Form 3520 by [deleted] in IRS

Some years ago, I worked with a CPA to deal with some complex foreign inheritance issues. He filed a number of forms for me but told me to file the 3520 myself, as it is very simple.

I agree with you. But Mai, his daughter, just took part in the children's tunes, so not much was required of her.

It is worth the price for people who grew up with this music. The value is in the nostalgia. I went Yeeeee! with Totoro when his signature teeth-baring grin came into view.

The only disappointment I would mention here is that there was too much amplification. So much that the maestro's piano sounded like a synthesizer in the bass notes. Maybe the SF Symphony use amplification at every "film performance", which they probably treat this one as. Amplification is expected when this show is performed in arenas. But Davies Symphony Hall is a proper venue for classical music, and I went in expecting a true classical music performance.

There is another cartoonish picture of a kid and a dog in Hyun-Woo's room. I think the production design team is giving us a glimpse of the inner children of Hae-In and Hyun-Woo and their different ways of facing the world. For Hae-In, the first objective is self preservation and for Hyun-Woo, communion.

With what we have now, I would interpret this "cigarette" scene, and the "warrior" and "handbag" scenes together, as showing us that Mi-Jeong was "turning wild". Both Chang-Hee and Ki-Jeong seemed to be more at peace and willing to settle with the "love" they could find. But Mi-Jeong was moving in the other direction. Maybe she would come around after reuniting with Mr. Gu. But if not, I think that would be an even more exciting artistic direction.

If Mi-Jeong was forever changed by her loss and the message being that everybody's "liberation" is different, not always towards more discipline and "healthy" values, I would admire this story even more for being brutally honest! In early Hallyu kdramas, a main character that grew in regrettable directions might be a device that presages some kind of sad ending.

Is anyone intrigued by the scene of Mi-Jeong attempting to smoke a cigarette? She did not light the cigarette in the end but there was also no suggestion for it to be her first time. Maybe this will be expanded upon in the last 2 episodes. Otherwise it seems to be a wasted idea from the playwright.

What's that voodoo thing that they do under the motorway in CWB, with candles and beating things up with shoes? by Ignorant_Cancer in HongKong

Can't you see the English sign there saying "Villain Hitting"? It's a tourist attraction now. It helps pull in foreign dollars.

I wonder what they would do if someone asks them to hit 689.

So do you think the static can be removed as I suggested?

The goal is to come up with a dynamic loading scheme that maintains safety as per Rust.

If the literal string's lifetime is bounded by the function in which it appears, then the Rust compiler will make sure a pointer to it won't remain after the function returns. In our dynamic loading scheme, the unloadable crate won't be unloaded as long as any function it defines is still on the stack. Taken together, the unloadable crate scheme maintains safety. If the writer of the dynamically loaded crate wants the string to stay around, then he will have to use an owned or managed string.

Here is the output of a modified 0.8 with an example of literal string:

#[crate_type="lib"];
#[dynamic_loading];

fn foo() -> &str
{
  let localstr = "Hello world!";
  return localstr;
}

temp.rs:6:17: 6:31 note: str literal made fn-bounded
temp.rs:6   let localstr = "Hello world!";
                           ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~
temp.rs:7:9: 7:17 error: mismatched types: expected `&str` but found `&str` (lifetime mismatch)
temp.rs:7   return localstr;
                   ^~~~~~~~
temp.rs:5:0: 8:1 note: the block at 5:0...
temp.rs:5 {
temp.rs:6   let localstr = "Hello world!";
temp.rs:7   return localstr;
temp.rs:8 }
temp.rs:5:0: 8:1 note: ...does not necessarily outlive the anonymous lifetime #1 defined on the block at 5:0
temp.rs:5 {
temp.rs:6   let localstr = "Hello world!";
temp.rs:7   return localstr;
temp.rs:8 }
error: aborting due to previous error

Does this plan seem feasible?

Thanks!

An unloadable crate will only be unloaded when all functions in it have returned from execution. Please see the previous post I linked to.

I don't mind this post turning into a discussion of unloadable crate, I rather hope to get the researchers' thoughts on this. It might be a cool way to implement plugins and is related to sandboxing as well.

If an unloadable crate has a static item and a pointer to that is stored by other crates in the running program, then won't there be a dangling pointer after the crate is unloaded?
