   I think what's really special about the main thread is that Rust (and I believe in some cases the OS) forces the process to exit if the main thread completes. I think the difference in panic handling is mostly down to that. I think the

   This article falls into the trap of conflating the Wirecutter's misapplication of filtration standards with irrelevant minutiae about which terms and diameters they cite for the filter classes. So alongside a pretty cogent description

    Did XHTML ever allow styling with XPath, or is it just used for jQuery-style element selection? My uneducated impression was that for performance reasons browser devs were rejecting even more restricted backwards-lookup and nesting selector
