working class solidarity leaving my body when my new monitor arrives with a busted corner

Haven't been able to give the talk a listen yet, but at a glance I sure am stumped by this syntax

there's an `auto`, but then there's also a return type with `const` on both ends of the arrow?

Let me show you the best post I've seen recently:
Screenshot of a post in a telegram group. It is a photo of two fishes, one of which has pertrusions around the mouth which are waguely moustashe-like The the text under the photo reads: "Mythbusters"

A bit of a dogshit quiz imo
Really presupposes that nations should exist, periodically repeats same answer worded slightly differently, a bunch of questiin really just come down to "are you an american?"

They are employing some very cool folk, but saying "we want to litearlly become early 90s' M$FT" is very funny

I agree, but I think it's exactly like Rust in this aspect.

The people I see struggle the most with Rust are C/C++ programmers who bring their preconceptions about "low" level languages, not the GC languages people who are more of a blank slate in that regard.
Quote from the linked post: I think jj is different from Rust in this regard in that it’s also very easy to learn if you aren’t someone who really knows a ton about Git. It’s folks that really know Git internals and have put time and care into their workflows that can struggle a bit with jj, because jj is different.

Even if there's no shock collar, this passage is plenty enough abuse for me.
Screenshot of the article, highlighted text: In the coming days, they reinforced their claims with clips in which Piker reached in a direction and Kaya, napping, did not make any noise but suddenly moved, as well as others in which Piker orders Kaya – clearly trained – to go back to her spot.

That's all pretty non-controversial to my sensibilities, it's one Michel Foucault mention from being a breadtube essay.

But then, as the essay winds up to make it's stated point about what that means for modern prose, this wonderful frame appears.

Is this the Mousetrap YouTube @bigjoel.bsky.social was talking about?
4 panel comic titled Mousetrap Two human figures talking - I got this mousetrap. - How's it work? A small office cubicle with a human hand for scale, speech bubble pointing to the hand - The mouse works in this cubicle assuming something better will come next, but then 30 years go by. Back to two humans, pointing at the tiny cubicle on the floor - Look, it's working! - Whoa! Tiny cubicle up close again, mouse sitting in a spinning office chair Speech bubbles: - It's already googling old highschool classmates. - This is cruel.

From an anesthetic standpoint using a match makes recursive solution look extremely sleek
fn fib(n: u32) -> u32 { match n { 0 => 0, 1 => 1, _ => fib(n - 2) + fib(n - 1), } }

Who would've thought that there aren't a lot of cheaters in the ranks where people are just barely starting to be able to click on heads. Conversely, if you are a bit better than average, you will be seeing at least one cheater every other game.
Yes, I think a proper AC will be a huge hit on the cheat market – at the price of a lot of users playing on older PCs, though. TF [trust factor] works well in Europe and NA, you're heavily unlikely to meet a cheater on green trust below ~18k which is what the system is supposed to achieve.

Today in "Weirdos on social media posting ragebait, then getting mad when people react":
@mloxton@med-mastodon.com The way tech people reuse and pollute everyday words actually pisses me off. Like "rust" was a perfectly good word, and we all knew what is was. But some dweet decided to make that something about programming, and now it erodes that word. There isn't any connection between rust and Rust Same with steam Same with Struts Java Beans etc Like fuck off and make your own bloody words, you ignorant blockhead --- @hjvt@hachyderm.io Medical professional noticing a speck of jargon in other professions, ignoring a whole library of it in their own. By the way, did you know that Rust, the programming language, is not named after rust as in iron oxide, but instead rust as in plant fungal disease? @mloxton@med-mastodon.com I got my trade in avionics computers, maintained and developed for Burroughs mainframes, my first PC had only a 5.25" floppy, and I have used everything from assembler, COBOL, Algol, and Fortran to R, VBA, and Python, so spare me the "other professions" How the fuck does it improve matters to say that Rust the IT thang is named after a fungus rather than iron oxide? It still borrowed and equivocated an existing perfectly good word. Are you ordinarily this foolish, or is today special? --- @hjvt@hachyderm.io Why does a third meaning of a word bother you, but not a second? Do you also get mad when someone uses the word "wood" to refer to an erect penis
