I've seen this happen multiple times in Python, where they implement a feature without a thorough survey of what other languages are doing. Then when it turns out the new feature has a major broken part, they fix that, but again, witho

10 years ago Python was famous for how many web frameworks it had. It seems Rust will be famous for the number of GUI libraries.

All drugs should be legalized. That is the only solution. You should be able to buy cocaine, heroin, fentanyl at the local grocery store. No question asked. Maybe even subsidize it for poor people who can't afford market prices. The lo

They are talking with Binance lawyers about settling the investigation. The only leak here is towards the public. And the US govt is leaking more than a sieve. Remember the ultra top secret CIA black sites? That was leaked.
