I mean they were evil from the beginning; my point is that she has has had plenty of time working at a non-evil company to not be dragged down for it. One could serve less time in prison for armed bank robbery
The author hasn't worked at Meta for eight years
I learned this recently while doing an olive oil tasting in Greece: the bite in the back of your throat is caused by polyphenols - antioxidants. The bite is indicative that the olive oil is providing something healthy
honestly that seems like a great way to spend public funds
This is pretty easy to understand if you have a cursory understanding of Rust and HTML.
I won't get into the HTML part (I think it's obvious), but the
$(|_e| count.increment())
part is a rust closure. |_e| is the argument to the closure, which has a leading underscore because it's unused. I imagine it's some context about the event (thus the e).
The rest is the body of the closure. It increments the count.
pretty simply
People don’t talk about quite much, when they talk about MGSV they talk about how insanely good of a stealth action game it is.
It can't do these things because it's not wanted. Say you have the following:
enum Value {
Float(f64),
Ptr(*const T),
}
Do you want the compiler to disallow certain bit patterns in the Float variant simply so that it can implement NanBoxing?
What I'm saying is that Hurd is just a kernel in the same way that Linux is also just a kernel
I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, just Linux.
Don't get your hopes up, it'll be used in deadlock's volleyball game mode
I wish they would re-release the HP50-g, I had one somewhere but it got lost and I _loved_ that thing!
Not to distract from what is undeniably a pretty cool thing, it's hard to even call these "games" as there's absolutely no decision making going on. I absolutely loathe games like these because you're not actually doing anything.
I plan on using it to create a backup password/2FA device... eventually
These glasses look absolutely stunning
I can't speak for the parent but I have a 5090 and it works perfectly fine
There’s on called “sonic boom: link and smash?”
I'm not really sure what position you're taking but taking a rake can certainly change the legality of an activity; in California, playing poker in private is considered a social game and is legal, _except_ if party is taking a rake.
The cops from the John Woo HK action flicks I've seen would love this
I'm not really arguing with your point, I'm correcting your incorrect description of what I'm saying.
To argue with your actual point: I don't really care about the overall context, actively disallowing tests in a codebase is a _bad decision_. Look how it worked out for them.

Fine with me
> He edited his reply to me multiple times...
I got the sense from your reply that some extra clarity would be beneficial.
> This is unnecessary. OP came out with "AUTHOR IS INSANE" even on the most generous of interpretations.
I did not actually call the author insane, I called their decision to explicitly disallow testing insane. It's an insane decision. I am not _literally_ calling the author insane.
> Did you edit the wording of your original comment slightly to emphasise the "actively disallowing them" in every situation?
I did not.
Did I say that my way was the right way? No: what I said was actively disallowing tests in every situation was the wrong way.
There is no ability here for the cost benefit analysis to change over time. There is only no tests
Having a culture of not ever writing tests and actively disallowing them is so insane I can't even imagine why there's anything else in this post
A dictatorship? Are you being forced at gunpoint to talk to people?
Perhaps more unsurprisingly, at the mere suggestion that socializing is good for you (it demonstrably is https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11403199/), you went and wrote a comment that I can only imagine someone who is deeply unhappy would write.
Talk about Poe's law.
I know what ECDSA is and if you brought it up in a random conversation unprompted I'd try to find your spaceship so I could escape the conversation on it.
That is linked literally in the first sentence of the article
I think people underestimate how pragmatic meta programming can be because there are some obvious downsides. Arguably one of things that made Rust so popular was its inclusion of procedural macros.
But beyond that the thing I don't understand about the modern hate towards macros is that they are simply very fun.
