Okay, but genuinely in what cases the borrow checker caused issues for you? Cause I use Rust for a few years now and have not yet encountered the infamous fight with the borrow checker.

Also, there’s a “new” and “better” borrow checker coming in 2024 edition.

As I understand this “question by proxy” can be even more effective because people are less likely to lie about Musk than about their political views

That’s kind of a paradox - we can’t stop reporting actions of assholes like him because they do things borderline dangerous to society, but that exact reporting gives them the popularity to do all that

Is it forbidden in English to use commas?

I am a god because it works but I have no idea why it works

SearXNG is also amazing. The only reason I don’t use it more is because it doesn’t have an integration into the URL bar in Firefox.

One more advantage is that you now have the full process well documented (via code) and if you realize some change is needed you can repeat the task quickly.

Believe it or not a lot of people here (including me) had no knowledge about that issue before this announcement was posted.

And my comment is referring to one very specific “thread” from your comment. Yes, you’re discussing other issues in your comment, but they’re at best only vaguely related to that first sentence.

Try reading some current information on it.

Oh no no no, we don’t play that game here. If you’re trying to convince someone of your argument, the burden of providing reputable and scientifically accurate evidence is on YOU and you only.

And only if the other side won’t accept scientific evidence then you can blame them.

I’m not saying cats can’t be vegan but to the best of my knowledge their diet must be meat based. As it is you who are trying to convince me (and others) cats can be vegan, it is also you who must provide the evidence.

I understand and agree with your attitude to buying a car on credit. Two semi-objective justifications I can see are safety and quality-of-life.

Newer and better cars are safer, and you might not have even a minor collision throughout the whole lifetime of the car, but the (hopefully never) day a crash happens you’ll be forever grateful to yourself you bought this car. And if you have some “smart” assistants on-board those actually can make you not end up in the accident.

From my experience I have realized that (within reasonable bounds) if spending more on something results in substantiality higher quality-of-life then it’s a money well spent. Because you end up being happier, calmer and actually more productive if you don’t have to waste your energy on inconvenient things.

Not sure if that makes you feel any better…

it’s not hard to read

Until there’s missing brace somewhere

It is undoubtedly a new piece of research, but the cause is always the same: corporations exploit people because they are taken out of government and democratic control effectively everywhere.

Some corporations employ more people and have bigger budgets than some countries and they often influence people’s lives more than the government. Yet they’re effectively electoral monarchies where electors and monarchs are just a bunch of rich assholes who respond to nobody.

Only when we change that system then those headlines will stop.

I create tables every day for run-of-the-mill stuff that simply doesn’t need a database. No one has time for that.

It seems that your issue isn’t the lack of tables in sheets but no easy way to create a simple db.

If we want to break Microsoft’s monopoly than we can’t do that by reimplementing Microsoft’s monopolistic ecosystem. And that creates the opportunity to correct questionable and arbitrary Microsoft decisions.

People are used to MS Office now but so were they used to typewriters a few decades ago. And if we’re changing OSes we don’t have to stick to one office suite.

I’m genuinely curious where their penny picking went? All of tech companies shove ads into our throats and steal our privacy justifying that by saying they operate at loss and need to increase income. But suddenly they can afford spending huge amounts on some shit that won’t give them any more income. How do they justify it then?

the (reasonably) exact number is probs only really known by Russian AF Command

You overestimate Russian Army competency way too much… if they even cared how many people died

Drives are usually encrypted with symmetric ciphers (usually AES) and these are reasonably secure against quantum attacks with a key big enough.

And with the vast majority of crimes you just need to wait until the statute of limitations, which in cryptography and quantum fields is quite short period.

No more secrets.

Post-quantum cryptography enters the chat

Poland went through such populist policies and their only outcome was massive inflation

Relevant XKCD for the OP https://xkcd.com/1053

Slightly related to the issue of remembering addresses, I think the main issue is with the fact that local nameservers are pretty much non-existent if you’re not running OpenWrt or OpnSense. Which is shameful because the local nameserver is an amazing quality of life tool.

Also the fact that officially there are no local TLDs except for “.arpa” while browsers won’t resolve one word domains without adding http://

And don’t get me started on TLS certificates in local networks… (although dns01 saves the day)
