The takeaway here isn’t about Rust itself, but that the Rust marketing crew’s claims that we constantly read on HN and elsewhere about the Result type magically saving you from making mistakes is not a good message to send.

The operation is simple in concept, but can be costly from a compute standpoint when n is large. Multiplication has predicable performance. Insert does not. It being a function indicates that it is doing a lot of things and thus offers pa

Nice history lesson that you've written for absolutely no reason, but we still don't know what there is other than rural and urban. Pointlessly pointing out obvious things like that there can be suburbs within urban areas, like th

Correct, but irrelevant. Suburban is a subset of urban, not the other way around — originally referring to the portion of an urban area found outside of the wall. The physical walls aren't often found anymore, but the term still refers

I suppose that depends on what you mean by "from scratch". If first you must invent the universe, starvation is certain. If you have to produce the food from the ground by yourself, you will struggle to scrape enough calories out
