As the post you are responding to pointed out, String::from converts from a string slice to a String. You didn't do this. Your code fails to compile because it attempts to apply + to two string slices, and that is not implemented. @dea

I'm not the original commenter, but according to glassdoor, the average salary for a senior in London is ~£61k, for front end devs ~£40k, and for generic devs ~£42k. I think SandB0x was suggesting that if you want above average emplo

> Gripping the bike’s front wheel was the only way for riders to brake This is not actually true - track bicycles, then and now, do not have a freewheel/freehub mechanism and the rider cannot coast. As a consequence you can use the

I think what you complaining about is really that Tolkein wasn't a moral relativist and that shows clearly in his writing. This is different to the original complaint about a dichotomy - belief that some things are ultimately good and

Exactly. Galadriel, Elrond, and Faramir also have the opportunity to take the One Ring, and choose not to. Sadly Faramir's rejection of it was not portrayed in the movies.

I agree he didn't invent the genre, although he certainly helped popularise and develop it. "plenty" perhaps oversells the genre pre-Tolkien, and also afaik Jack Vance didn't start writing until well after The Hobbit was

Saruman did what he thought best, initially for noble reasons... and that turned out poorly. This is part of the seductive power theme in LotR, which in general I consider something of a counterpoint to GGP's complaints about "sim

What is not addressed is that the article that inspired this post says in its second paragraph: > they were all dismissed by condescending “gurus” who simply said that we had mislocated our files (I had the free drive space to prove that

Ah, I wanted to know why viggity agreed with Lea, not for a list of reasons to use ad-block, but you make some good points... although I disagree about the presence of an implicit contract in the first place.

You agree that when viewing a public site whose main revenue model is ads, you enter an implicit contract to view those ads? If so, why? If not, why do you agree that being selective about what HTTP reqs you make is morally equivalent to th

I really hope that this view isn't widespread amongst W3C people. "Controlling what HTTP reqs my device sends is morally wrong because the server owner expects to monetise them" is absurd.

Whatsapp appears to have very little market share in the sparsely populated arse end of the world (Oceania), at least so far as I can tell. Not that that's exactly a large market, but still.

You say you wrote down everything you ate and its calorie value... what did you base calorie count on in situations where you ate out? E.g. lunch with the boss, &c. What degree of accuracy do you think is necessary?

The problem with a default warning for signed/unsigned comparison is there are many cases of this in large existing codebases where, although it is not ideal, it doesn't do any harm. Such cases could constitute a large amount of c
