Obligatory dismissive comment: > 0.2 No it ain't (in production). Anyway, this looks great. I LOVE the fact that you've provided a book too. Consider me a fan!

I think the most surprising thing about Rust modules is that you need to """pre-declare""" them, especially since Rust doesn't really use function prototypes. So when you try to move a module into its own

It's funny because you'd think this watchfulness + technology like Nextdoor would let kids be more independent, e.g. if anybody tried to snatch your kid they'd be reported by half a dozen busybodies watching through their win

Biology is not programming, man. We can work on different abstraction levels because in the worst case, we can just crack open a hex editor and write raw assembly or mess with the OS directly. We've built on that to get C, and Java, an

The cynic/conspiracy theorist in me says "Imagine blaming kids for acting weird when they're literally infested with plastic."

Easy to say this when you don't have 1 billion people also gunning for the opportunities you want (maybe less since they're in Hong Kong and not the mainland)

This is a very funny article and the reveal that people have actually tried to steal the car was a perfect closer.

What're the alternatives to Firefox? The only ones that come to mind are Opera and Brave, and Brave had some controversy too.

Fun fact, this theory actually comes from a 4chan post.

Wasn't there some Wasmer controversy with the CEO or founder or something last year? Not trying to disparage the company or their work, I was just reminded of it by this post.

Before anybody takes this specific prediction too seriously, this guy posted numerous misleading claims about Actix's use of `unsafe` in another thread before deleting them and seems to have a strange vendetta against Rust in general.

Why don't you provide evidence of extant misused `unsafe` first? Or is the whole software world to believe the words of lambda_dn?

Maybe a different kind of terror than Dead Internet Theory: the Internet is "alive", but it acts as if it was dead.

Agreed. Anybody who's into an obscure music genre can attest to how hard it is to find such music, let alone finding good ones.

Silly thought: if bigger NN's are better, shouldn't more neurons be better? Why aren't elephants smarter than us, despite having more neurons? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_by_number_of_n.

Agreed. Not sure if the vegan replacements have the same properties (fattiness, moisture, etc.) that the recipe expects, and many vegan dishes from South/Southeast Asia and so on are delicious.

Vim is very big, so don't learn it until you need it. For example, if you want to draw diagrams in Vim, you could certainly just add all the spaces and such yourself, or you could use `virtualedit=block` and vim will add the spaces for

I LOVE that "horror". Reminds me of some of the art I've seen on album/single covers. Any chance of letting people access that kind of intermediate step? (Though I know it's a niche as hell use case).
