Usability has taken a nosedive with the rise of web apps. Every company wants to have their own special branding in the form of a "design system", and there's a whole industry of designers coming up with different non-standar

I don't expect this will happen. There's a good reason why floppy disks are no longer used, but I would be surprised if physical books ever go away. Personally, as much as I like the convenience of digital books, there's noth

masklinn already made lots of good points. I'd add that panics in Rust are for intended for non-recoverable errors (like memory allocation failures, out-of-bounds access) and under most use cases are equivalent to abort(). There are
