I’ve seen people reward “honesty” too, like a beggar asking money for alcohol. I would be more inclined to help an ex convict thrown in the streets than a childrens bus or something

Exactly, Reddit admins are never this patient with rule-breaking communities. If you check the timeline you can see how many times they have tried to work with the mods and they were uncooperative

I miss Fireworks so much, I even tried to run the latest version under wine but never managed to get it to run correctly. Does anyone know of a good alternative that runs on Linux? I've been using Gravit Designer but it's kinda sl

I would. And fair enough, I think the web closed around me and I didn't even realize it. But we are all doing ok so far, so I supose wasm won't be that bad either.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding something but WASM is meant to be compiled from other languages and that source is lost, unlike minified javascript, isn’t it?

I've been to the US once and the only thing I miss is Krispy Kremes. I haven't found a single other doughnut that is as good as theirs.

You can still find a lot of people confronting hard subjects through humor, it is just that lately these things are better received if you are a part of the group you are making fun of. I know lgbt comedians who are great at confronting the

I think Jeff Kaplan said something about that, maybe in a GDC conference? About how even perceived imbalance should be fixed even if the numbers show things are balanced. I think players just don’t have the words to describe what is botheri

Stuff like this has been happening since at least the 60s, 20 years ago it was happening to the dixxie chicks for being against the war, 30 years ago it was happening to gay people when their bosses found out, etc. This isn't new, it j

Here I am saying with a straight face: this hasn't become a 1000 times worse in the last couple of years. Do I have any data to back this up? No. Do you? If you do I'd like to see it, otherwise this is irrelevant to the discussion

Do you have an example? Copying is only hard to the extent that you need to #[derive(Copy)] for your type, and ints are already Copy. I also don't see how other traits factor here.

Translating that to Rust: let foo = call_api(url).await; println!("{}", foo.bar); Syntatical differences aside, what's complex about it?

Wow, hard disagree for me! I feel like Rust is the easiest language to maintain that I have ever used. I'm never afraid of changing things around since the compiler will always catch my mistakes and it is impossible (without unsafe) to
