To be fair How much has Google contributed to the Trump campaign? Sick and tired of media blaming everything on DJT.
No mention of the actual chemicals being used. Seems they would at least include the MSDS sheets for the process for a well researched article.
The author describes how it tasted etc. going in. May sound silly, but I have to wonder how it was coming out.

Happens every time the accountants and MBA's take over. Experience with three companies bought out by investment funds/accountants. Move on as quickly as possible. Cheers

you don't pronounce "->" as returns even in your thoughts?

I found what I was looking for in the appendix

B-3 Path related syntax """ ::path Path relative to the crate root (i.e., an explicitly absolute """

Re:Announcing Rust 1.36.0 on Thursday July 04, 2019 @05:28PM (#20357960)
so the " :: ' has no verbal meaning, it's just a way of linking traits, libraries, functions,or crates? Not easy to explain
Re:Announcing Rust 1.36.0 on Thursday July 04, 2019 @05:14PM (#20357862)
Can someone point to a explanation of how to speak/read Rust. exactly how would you say "use std::fs::File" How does one pronounce :: Seems simple enough but things get much more complex by the third or fourth chapter of the Book.

I suppose trump actually signed the checks. Seems it is impossible to get away from political opinion even when "hacking".

Thanks I just figured that out. I does work from there. Thank You much
Re:Rust Programming Language Book on Monday May 25, 2015 @02:38PM (#9601139)
yes I just pasted everything from the book and [CODE] $ ~/data/projects/rust/hello/src$ cargo build

failed to parse manifest at `/home/john/data/projects/rust/hello/src/Cargo.toml`

Caused by: either a [lib] or [[bin]] section must be present [/CODE]

Not a real good start for a introduction.

Re:Rust Programming Language Book on Monday May 25, 2015 @12:01PM (#9600513)
the Cargo example fails to build. Simply highlite copied to a src dir and it fails with: failed to parse manifest at `/home/john/data/projects/rust/hello/src/Cargo.toml`

When the only thing the 'company' has to offer you is:

A corner office with two windows

A private toilet/shower

A wet bar

A kitchenette

Because you already have all the money.
