Because Rust is pass by value.

  f(&s);
is practically equal to

  let r = s.borrow();
  f(r);
Re:Wikipedia New Design on Monday July 04, 2022 @05:01AM (#31975008)
It seems that Wikipedia is testing their new design. This new design only applied for few languages. Few that I know so far are Bahasa Indonesia, Japanese, and Portuguese.

Japanese page snapshot before redesign[1] and after redesign [2].

I can't reproduce this. I tested it on both Gsuite and Gmail account.

That's dissapointing. Wasm/Wasi is what got me interested in Web again.

Do you have source on that?

> lots of choices, versions, combinations and edge cases to cover

I think Snap[0], Flatpak[1], and AppImage[2] tries to solve this problem.

[2] https://appimage.org/

Doesn't completly solve your problem but you can start sending message to a new phone number using an url. [0]

Re:The art of interrupting software engineers on Tuesday July 30, 2019 @08:09AM (#20564072)
I'm an introvert and I like XP.

Left the company for a usual startup setup with your own Macbook, pull requests, and things.

I miss the almost zero friction collaboration.

As a pair. Either of us will point out each other mistakes and suggest an improvements to what we're doing in real time without the ping-pong of pull request.

If both of us can't figure things out. We can just scooch over to other pair workstation, sit in the other chair, use the mouse and keyboard to show part of code we have issue with, point to the monitor, and ask questions.
