One more for the sound track, I was rebuilding my game machine and waiting for pieces when Bastion got released, spent about 4 weeks with the soundtrack looping before I could finally play the game itself.

It was still glorious. "Mother, I'm Here" is one of my favorite tracks. In my whole music library. Up there with Sigur Rós's Sæglópur or Í Gær, or Metallica's Nothing Else Matters. Absolutely beautiful piece.

What's so horrible NZ has to ban it?

Nothing. Basically the book was originally age-restricted (14+), the classification board decided to remove the restriction but a bunch of fuckwits appealed the decision. While the decision is made, the book is in a legal limbo: the old classification has been removed but it doesn't have a new one yet so it's unrated and thus illegal to distribute.

After that, manually force your legs to step back if you must.

A good occasion to learn moonwalking: train until you reflexively moonwalk away from the cookie jar.

Rust has had to expend a considerable amount of firepower on it (four kinds of pointers etc).

IIRC that's being reduced to 3, managed are moved to libraries as experience has shown they were not useful and used enough to warrant a sigil, and they had annoying side-effects (if used in a library, they taint all library users).

Which in effect is really 2 as most developers won't encounter much unsafe pointering. That leaves unique/owned and borrowed, which are more formal reification of existing uses of pointers than "new" kinds of pointers.

Lisp's with-open-file

with-open-file is just a wrapper macro on unwind-protect (for, as the name indicates, performing scoped opening of files). It's not a deferred execution primitive in and of itself.
