@Gankra On a related note, you might be amused to know:
The line `char.grit.gotoAndStop(char.grit.currentFrame+(1-char.grit.currentFrame)/6);` has a specific bug that led us to some emulation fixes in Ruffle. That line results in attempting to call gotoAndStop(62.666666666666664) and similar decimal values, which flash - for some reason - interprets as a STRING, looking for a labelled frame named "62.666666666666664". Nowadays going to an nonexistent label just throws an error, but in janky swfs from 2009 it instead silently goes to frame 1.
The result in flash was that the grit vial empties instantly instead of interpolating it for a few frames. The result in Ruffle is that the game locked up, until we figured out that old SWF versions had different behaviour and how to emulate it.

The Rust team has published a new point release of Rust, 1.80.1. Rust is a programming language that is empowering everyone to build reliable and efficient software.
If you have a previous version of Rust installed via rustup, getting Rust 1.80.1 is as easy as:
rustup update stable
If you don't have it already, you can get rustup from the appropriate page on our website.
Rust 1.80.1 fixes two regressions that were recently reported.
In addition to the existing optimizations performed by LLVM, rustc is growing its own set of optimizations. Rust 1.78.0 added a new one, implementing "jump threading" (merging together two adjacent branches that perform the same comparison).
The optimization was also enabled on branches checking for floating point equality, but it didn't implement the special rules needed for floats comparison (NaN != NaN
and 0.0 == -0.0
). This caused the optimization to miscompile code performing those checks.
Rust 1.80.1 addresses the problem by preventing the optimization from being applied to float comparisons, while retaining the optimization on other supported types.
dead_code
lintRust 1.80.0 contained refactorings to the dead_code
lint. We received multiple reports that the new lint implementation produces false positives, so we are reverting the changes in Rust 1.80.1. We'll continue to experiment on how to improve the accuracy of dead_code
in future releases.
Many people came together to create Rust 1.80.1. We couldn't have done it without all of you. Thanks!

When we use euphemisms like "protestor" to describe rioting, rabid, dogshit neo-Nazis, we're not just being inaccurate – we're actively contributing to the normalization of their ideology.
This tendency to soften our language when it comes to extremist ideologies isn't evenly applied. We don't hesitate to use harsh, condemnatory language when talking about other forms of violent extremism. We don't call ISIS members "religious freedom activists" or refer to cartel enforcers as "pharmaceutical distribution protestors." So why the kid gloves when it comes to neo-Nazis?"
