At last we may get a debate on Britain's relationship with Europe ([Leader][1], 11 January). What did the EEC/EU ever do for us? Not much, apart from:

• Providing 57% of our trade.
• Structural funding to areas hit by industrial decline.
• Clean beaches and rivers.
• Cleaner air.
• Lead free petrol.
• Restrictions on landfill dumping.

You have a shredder connected to an empty box, and various rubber balls. The balls are all the same colour, each ball of a certain type is identical, and each type is made of a different material from each other type. The shredder is special, in that if you put a ball in the shredder, the pattern of the shredded-up remains in the box will be the same every time, but distinct from any other type of ball.

You want to demonstrate to someone who does not know a secret that you and Bob both know that secret. The secret is a sequence of four balls of any type.

The secret value is a Type 1 ball, followed by a Type 2 ball, a Type 3 ball, and a Type 4 ball.

Bob puts his four balls in the machine, one after the other, and the resulting state of the box is a chaotic mess; each shredded bit has been buffeted around by all the other shredded bits. It looks nothing like any one ball’s pattern.

The state of the box is a hash of the secret information.

Learn You A Rust

Welcome! In this tutorial, we'll walk through building a Rust CLI application that clones GitHub repositories and downloads GitHub release binaries. This guide is written for developers experienced with Python or Ruby who are new to Rust. We'll introduce key Rust concepts as they come up – including ownership, borrowing, lifetimes, and error handling with Result and Option – and highlight Rust best practices for project structure and code clarity. By the end, you'll have a working CLI tool and a solid understanding of fundamental Rust principles.

What our CLI tool will do:

• Parse command-line arguments using the clap crate.
• Read a configuration file in TOML format (with serde and toml) to get a list of repos and binaries to manage.
• Clone GitHub repositories (supporting both using the Git CLI or the libgit2 library for cloning).
• Download the latest release binaries from GitHub and install them to `~/.l

Gmail Downloader

This script downloads all emails from a Gmail account using IMAP and saves them as JSON files.
It includes features for handling connection drops, resuming downloads, and robust error recovery.

The script can handle various charset encoding issues and maintains state between runs to allow
resuming after interruptions. It also logs problematic emails rather than failing on them.
