   If I understand the article correctly (and I'm not a Rust programmer), the above is an optimization that permits the programmer to write code that is correct with regard to object lifetimes, but currently rejected by the compiler. This

   The term you're looking for is "permissive". It is open source, but it is no longer as permissive as it was.

   * Regarding "splitting commits in an interactive rebase is hard" - I actually use `git reset` (to unmake a commit) followed by several instances of `git add -i` (to add individual changes into a commit) + `git commit` (to actually

   For actual downloads it links to the Mozilla store, where it's gone at the moment. EDIT: I've posted at https://discourse.mozilla.org/t/enhancer-for-youtube-is-gone... as well.

    Fosstodon didn't become a private Mastodon server. It made it a little bit harder to create an account on its server. Users on other servers can interact with Fosstodon on the same terms as before - nothing changed for them.

    Good from the administration/moderation point of view. This limits the influx of users and shares the burden of moderating them. The instance still federates with the rest of the network, so nothing changes from the existing users&#x27

    Assume that something is true, write code to generate cases, run it, plot the generated data, expect that the plots show that everything matches the assertion, notice it doesn't, disprove the thing previously considered true. Nice and

    Mature companies can't afford being as fast as startups simply because their different size causes 1) a completely different level of decision inertia, 2) a completely different level of communication issues. You're not working wi

    I don't think it's satirizing the users; it successfully highlights an existing problem of people leaving before trying, and I agree with this highlight as an avid user of the Fediverse.

    Everything that makes Python efficient is written in C or C++ or the like. Python in these situations is just a glue language (with an optional interactive layer) that makes using these libraries more feasible.
