Not to be overly pedantic but calling .unwrap() is about as far from swallowing an error as you can get. That's gonna panic right away if it's an error case.

This is a completely unsupported position composed of biased, speculative nonsense. Much of the science about impacts beyond basic respiratory problems is coming from Europe, "recorded" on europeans. Example, just today, this rath

I used to feel and think this way. But recent events, and the trajectory of the internet over the last decade has changed my mind completely. We must stop giving excuses to the massive centralization, to the enormous companies that step in

Although it's not clearly on their radar, this is something nVidia could pull off. They've got Tegra and experience targeting 5nm, or at least, they appear to be growing it. It could be reasonable to see nVidia willing to jump to

There are many, Safari actually has extensions on iOS, there are no shortage of adblockers in all shapes and sizes. Even Firefox has one. Personally I use 1Blocker across iOS and macOS.

Not only that, but, AWS Athena is basically serverless Presto. It's an extremely handy tool particularly if you've got structured or semi-structured data being dumped into S3 and you want a near zero maintenance (only have to crea

So my statement was a total comedic effort not to be taken seriously, I'd never suggest anyone use a company on the basis of terrible customer support. That's what the semi-colon parentheses at the end was meant to signify. To att

Google is great for this because they will never actually let anyone talk to a human in order to apply social engineering techniques ;)

Interestingly, right after leaving this discussion behind I went to read the post about the scientist resigning from Google's quantum stuff or whatever. It was a Forbes link which is paywalled of course. It then hit me that Forbes migh

I don't know if what I am paying for really is what one would call journalism. Maybe sometimes. But more often it's just better writing, more depth, more thought. An alternative to reading a dense tome but with the same relative d

The published order of the books is not chronological order, but, I believe unless an author explicitly says so, one should always read their books in published order. The way to look at them is they are glimpses into Bond's past. A fe

If you haven't read the original novels, they are an absolute treat. Very refreshing. There is great detail, but, almost never more than you absolutely need. It is used to set the pace, so, in the slower moments there will be some fluf

It's a writer's technique somewhat similar to method actors who take on the character's persona as their own for the duration of a play or filming. It's almost like attempting to evoke in yourself a synthetic form of dis

The procession of a dictator is more nuanced and complex than people realize. A totally typical tactic is to repeatedly fire anyone who will take up the role in a fashion that does not directly benefit said dictator. That anyone was fired f
