Their methodology appears to be garbage. You have it backwards. The chart says $0.17 postpaid, $0.07 prepaid. The chart implies a cost of 120 USD per GB, which implies it's based on a 500MB/month plan costing 60 USD. There's

I'm in Canada, it's true that telcos are expensive here but $0.17 for 1.39MB is like $120 per GB which is absurd. I pay $40 for 8GB/month (USD). Even additional data (if you go over plan limits), which is by far the most expe

That's not a very clever argument. Animals also routinely rape each other, fight and sometimes kill rivals, engage in cannibalism, etc.; that doesn't excuse humans committing murder and sexual assault anymore than natural predatio

You can also just put arbitrary code in build.rs, it will be run by cargo check, rust-analyzer, etc. Though I admit macro expansion hacks are more fun and easier to hide.

It's just syntax differences. The newer compiler supports all previous language editions, you're not using a 2015-era compiler to compile 2015 edition code. Rust is not ABI-stable, there is no guarantee that you can even mix libs
