In Rust, there’s a drop guard pattern to do this, which leverages the lazy execution of closure, checkout the scopeguard crate. C++ should be easy to do that too I think


stop trolling without any evidence.


ieee should transfer its registration to Switzerland.


It's good idea.


lol, It is ignorance to blame all problems blindly on authority. Many people around me are complaining that some businesses only support electronic payment, which is a kind of market discrimination for those who have not received the education. And in China, e-payment has nothing to do with privacy or freedom. All payment tools can only be opened with ID cards, and some even need to upload recent photos of real people holding ID cards.


> they got preserved...

the best joke in this thread, open your browser then search for the artworks "protected" by the European thieves, for instance, why The British Museum cut Admonitions Scroll?


Ridiculous, check out how the Chinese artworks is being treated in some western museums. They don't know how to protect the artworks since cultural ignorance(the material needs to be treated specially), some of the artworks are fking cut into pieces.


They knew how the materials worked, and we've pieced together how and why the various steps taken in the aim of conservation were taken.

Here's a 2014 paper on the history of the scroll, including a fairly detailed section on the conservation & restoration efforts since the piece arrived at the British Museum.

so then argue this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admonitions_Scroll if the thieves know that, how did they dismantle this Chinese painting and remount it with the Japanese painting mounting method?


Because the wooden backing of the Japanese method was used across the board for conservation of most asian silk scrolls because it lends itself very well to conservation and preservation of the piece while also allowing display in museums.

The trade off between this method and keeping the scroll in unmounted silk form was between having a more stable backing for the scroll itself to aid in preservation at the cost of removing the scroll's ability to be bent.

The concern for this scroll specifically was that this scroll was unevenly decayed, had numerous repairs in the past and constant continuing repairs would be needed to mitigate wear and tear - frayed silk ends were already an issue. The standard method of dealing with this issue is remounting, and evidence indicated this scroll had been remounted numerous times in it's history.

The museum decided to affix the scroll and apply a form of sealant, after remounting the edge silk sections (which they literally brought experts over from asia to do). This was done to remove the need to repaint and splice sections in (which was the traditional method of maintaining the piece, but which obviously changes it over time) and mitigate future damage to the piece.

TLDR: just read the link I posted.


Can you give a specific example of this?


Admonitions Scroll was cut by the British Museum, then someone said the European thieves protected the artworks by stealing. LOL


Where did you get the idea that the museum cut it? All information I could find points to the first scenes being lost at a far earlier date.


[1]In 1914–1915 the scroll was dismantled, and remounted on two long stretchers, one containing the nine scenes of the original painting, and one containing all the other sections, except for the Zou Yigui painting, which was mounted separately as an album leaf. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Admonitions_Scroll


Even if that were the case, I’d argue that it has fared much better in London than it would have in China - most likely it would have been “harmonized” in the 1960s.


so the thieves just argue with "if.., would" and ignore the facts? lol


This needs to be upvoted!


if the European thieves returned the artworks?


google web map always works in mainland


This reminds me Neon Genesis Evangelion


Faux symbolism and cheap pandering?


For me, A totally cs newbee, the Rust team has established a great community. I have learned a lot from the e-mentor(contribute to rust or rust lib directly with the guidelines from rust core developers). Now I’m the founder of Rustacean group in my school.


Rustacean, that's the first time of heard of that name. Absolutely fantastic
