This article might be a "submarine" article for it, but I'm actually glad A2 milk is getting more popular, and now even Costco carries it. I grew up in France and drank milk without problem my whole life, but when moving to t

See my other comment, the "+" button is useless is Firefox Preview, there's not a single use case where you need it. It was probably added for people who didn't notice that the address/search bar is already here, or

I'm confused about your comment, just was pleasantly surpised by testing this new Firefox Preview, that only one click was required to open a new tab: 1) Tap the tabs button 2) You're already on the new tab, so either a) Search in

Why not use Firefox multi account containers[1] for this use case? Having one banking container or even one per bank would have the same effect, without the annoyances of private mode? [1] https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US&#x

I see, not very familiar with both those idioms `?` and `ok_or()?` My current understanding is that those would return an Error only? I was more describing cases where you do want to return, but not necessarily return an `Error`. For insta

One thing Rust doesn't seem to be doing very well yet is guard clauses, specifically when handling Option<T>. I've seen and appreciated the use of guard clauses in many languages, as a good way to quickly check for a few con

So this is like Arbitration in the US? In the UK, how are they "known to be free of political interference etc."? Is it easy for people to contest a decision that looks unfair and bring it to the regular courts ?

Agreed, I've started spending more time learning rust, and the book + your comments here on HN about Rust internals makes the learning so much pleasant, thank you for those!

One thing it shows, is that at least that at&t has no international ambition for that TV/streaming service. If it did, it would pick a word that works well in many languages. Verge doesn't translate so well in french :)

Thanks, that's an interesting read. indeed a developer can use that trick "in the case of conversion traits". Monomorphization seems to be the source of 2 major problems: compile time, and binary size. An optimization that c

is monomorphization a more concise term for what is called "implicit template instantiation" in C++? If so, is Rust worse than C++ when it comes to compile times of those? Heavily templated C++ code is known to be slow to compile

I'm more optimistic about parallelism, and multi cores in general. Multi cores could have other advantages than parallelism. On mobile, if there's 8 cores, and if the device/os is able to figure out the current load, and base
