I used to wonder who these people are too, but I think they mostly aren't that visible or at least prominent in actual rust threads. But you do occasionally see drive-by posts in places like /r/cpp along the lines of "sh

When framed that way, it seems odd, but is it so strange that someone with means spends $10k on their hobby? That's really what it comes down to, more so than the weight-savings. If you like riding bikes, and have the money to spend on

> At the most basic level, in Rust you cannot overload operators. I've heard this claim multiple places and I don't really understand it. Operators have corresponding traits that you can pretty easily define for your types. ht

Speaking as someone for whom programming is only ancillary to my job and who previously use python as my primary language, I wouldn't touch C/C++ with a 10-foot pole simply because I don't trust my own abilities to not screw

If he doesn't think that Cloudflare should hold any responsibility for illegal or criminal activity using their services, then I welcome them being treated as a utility and subject to all of the regulation that that would entail.

The assessed value is the theoretical value based on the current market, whether rental or sale. My guess that is that by basing the value on the rental market, property taxes remaining more in line with the functional value of the property

I don't think most straight people are aware just how much of everyday life is peppered with aspects of their sexuality - holding hands, kissing their spouse or partner goodbye, even just referring to them in a gendered way. Growing up

There is such a thing as shared responsibility. An individual smoker is responsible for quitting; Phillip Morris is responsible for making a harmful and addictive product. In the case of social media, individuals are responsible for how the

I think you have a point. Rust is primarily focused on being a systems language, and memory safety is the killer feature it brings to the table in that domain. But we know that Rust is being used in areas where its qualities as a systems la

Terminal programs are one area where Rust's strengths seem to align (very good CLI libraries/parsing, error management, and concurrency) and weaknesses are less relevant (async, GUIs), which might be why it seems to be gaining tra

I think this sort of thing becomes far less arousing once it is no longer taboo and uncommon. I'm gay and that probably means I've been in situations where I've been naked around people I might be attracted to more often than

I think the interesting question there (and really any language comparison) is to compare the result of idiomatic implementations. Unfortunately, there is no clear answer on what is idiomatic, even with something like Python that is more op

Net is actually the one game I prefer to play on a computer, as I find the keyboard controls particularly useful for it. I think Signpost or Magnets are my favourite to play on mobile.

More opinionated solutions such as gofmt/rustfmt/black seem to be popular in part because they remove some of that cognitive load.

The airport in Kitchener has a deal where an airline is offered exclusive rights to a new route out of the airport for, I think, two years. Westjet/Swoop was recently throwing up a storm in the media over this when Flair took advantage

It would be interesting to see polling about how the rest of Canada feels about Quebec separating now compared to 1995. I was just a child at the time and didn't want Quebec to separate, but now as an adult, I feel much more ambivalent

Part of the issue I have with a lot of the discussion coming from Lemoine's claims about LaMDA is that I'm not exactly clear what people mean when they talk about sentience. It very much seems like a 'you know it when you see

I don't think that's correct. @pbhjpbhj talks about magnetic braking and some sort of pneumatic braking. The sibling to his comment by @fredley mentions it, but I don't recall seeing that yet when I posted mine.

Regenerative braking generates electricity and there's really no reason modern trains wouldn't use them. Another approach that can be used when initially building the system is to have a slope leading into/out of stations so

There have been a number of transformational things in the last 5-10 years that are far from gimmicks. Wider tires on road bikes. Disc brakes for cx and mtb. Dropper posts and 1x drive trains on mtb. Cycling is rife with orthodoxy that begs
