A future is a one-shot generator, give or take. Good reading list at the bottom of https://areweasyncyet.rs , starting with this post that uses generators as an example: https://boats.gitlab.io/blog/post&#x2F

As a newcomer to Rust, wishing that this post was one of the first ones I've read about this topic. It took scouring through many many posts, some of them here on HN, to be able to grasp some of the same idea. (I may not be alone, ju

The Sinclair video seemed creepy at first, but then again, these are literally paid TV announcers whose job consists of reading a script. One would expect the content to be scripted, and that's why I prefer indie people on YouTube over

Seems not too different from our (US) celebrities posting the same political messages in unison. Like most of the Avengers cast and others. I've always wondered how scripted this is.

The flipside is that these actions can also be cruel to animals. I've sat next to one very very miserable non-trained service "comfort" dog on a long flight, who unfortunately got sick (vomiting) mid-flight.

"- Add touch bar mitigations: haptic feedback, key click, and blink cursor when touching esc." Thank you for this! Can't believe how many times per day I accidentally trigger touch bar Esc.

Most useful tool (has been for a decade+) to stop the junk credit advertisements that many people don't know about.

Might be one of those "designed to look good and sell more units, not for actual users" Apple ideas. There was a post about it on HN a few weeks ago. Edit: linked below

Now if only they could also get rid of the TouchBar. Most frustrating "feature" ever as I keep accidentally pressing some parts of it while resting my hands or typing. Not to mention that I don't look down at the keyboard are

PS Given how popular you are, maybe you don't even need Twitter. Just put up your own site with a simple feed, the word will spread quickly.

Damn, that sucks. You are a hero to many. Twitter 'enforcement' can be completely arbitrarily if you have been following some of the news stories in the past months. Maybe you can make a new one that doesn't use a trademarked

I guess someone could show a driver license as it requires a bunch of prove-your-identity documents to get, at least in my state.

Japanese 7-11 take contactless just fine, even Apple Pay works. I guess they just wanted to add their own "flavor" to the already maddening mix of available payment and loyalty card options.

Where do you buy well-made and most importanly safely sourced toys for your children (especially small children who may bite on them)? We are having a heck of a time trying to find stuff not made in China, primarily concerned with toxic p

You can accomplish iterations more concisely using other means, for example list operations in `Enum` [1]. Not too different from other modern languages often using `foreach` vs. i-based iteration. Also, try `IO.puts inspect foo` for printi

Try to find the real manufacturer. If it's a no-name/no-brand seller from China, then you should know what to expect. Example: 1. Search for "car battery charger" 2. "Amazon's Choice" result is a brand cal

Thank you. Looking Japanese stuff is a great idea. They are one of the few places to still keep some manufacturing "in-house." Searching is hard and companies are not always fully transparent about their process. E.g. "Assemb

Assumption (partly from personal experience) that products may be more likely tainted with unknown or harmful substances for the sake of cost cutting somewhere in the pipeline.

We just moved and needed to buy some new kitchenware. You would not believe how difficult it is to find so much as a spoon that is not made in China. Even from any name brand, even in a "fancy" store like Williams-Sonoma.

I wouldn't take it personally. Language-specific tests sometimes focus on memorizable trivia instead of problem solving. Like, "How many generations does the garbage collector have?"

What I noticed last time at McD's, is that the ink literally rubs off from the colorful paper mat (on the tray) on which I have been putting ketchup and fries my whole life. Try rubbing it with your finger next time, yikes.

Anything with toxic thermal paper immediately goes to the trash if I can help it. Other than arguably being bad for the environment (so much paper wasted) they can also be harmful to you simply from touch . E.g. "A significant increas
