But what's the point of a protest that doesn't inconvenience people? As long as emergency vehicles can pass, the stopping people going where they want is kinda the point

Good News by Mac Miller is beautiful and tragic, even moreso after his tragic early death

Ah right, quick adjustments needed then, one UK cup is 25/24ths of a US cup, and a UK teaspoon is 0.986 US ones

Simple 👍

Not sure I can think of anything I'd enjoy less than trying to build a web app in cpp

"Okay but cruel" seems like a weird way to say bad

Tortle

And yet the idea that someone could coup the US has gone from unthinkable to genuinely feasible in one election

You're right, that the net impact is exactly half of voting for trump instead - in that you only reduce biden's vote, as opposed to increasing trump's.

In less consequential elections, I absolute agree that voting for the candidate you want is key. But the risk here of a bad candidate is not just a shit period of government, but a genuinely significant risk of incurring a coup.

If you assume a default vote of "any viable candidate other than trump", you still move in the same direction as voting for trump instead if you vote for a 3rd party candidate.

In countries with a healthier (not two party) system, this is typically the point where the centrist and left parties tend to form an electoral alliance to avoid the disaster candidate. That doesn't really work for presidential elections though, so individual votes need to take on that same role to minimise the risk.

Are you okay? Your response must be just the word "conputer"

As far as I'm aware, twitter has actually been a lot smaller in terms of users than you might imagine from its influence.

It has a relatively low number of active users, but the fact it's designed to be a centralised public forum (rather than users being selective who can follow them like Facebook) means it is/was very attractive for businesses, celebrities and politicians.

You really don't need to be worried about the US running out of munitions, if there's one thing the USA does well, it's pumping out obscene amounts of weapons

Ayyyyy

The original example was doing the unwrap_within an iterator doing some string parsing, so there was a lot of unrelated boilerplate around the actual unwrapping that made it really unclear, as well as usual unwrap_or_else to produce a constant value

Ehhh, I was more using get_default as a placeholder for some function, as opposed to representing Default::default for the inner type specifically. I think it should be alright since only people familiar with rust would know about the default trait anyway. I did consider adding an unwrap_or_default example, but thought it was getting a bit off topic at that point.

You'll be happy to hear I've updated the example to be not bad

Damn, they really just made that example as ugly as possible huh

I'm sure they're devastated to hear it

I hate when I accidentally build a nuke, absolute nightmare to dispose of

Eh, I think there's definitely some legitimacy to doing a virus scan for applications with unrecognised signatures

Not everyone knows how to (or even can for many apps) manually verify the authenticity of their apks

And plenty of non-technical people will just install random shit from the internet without thinking

What possible legitimate reason is there for needing a napalm recipe?

It's Schrödinger's douchebag

If you agree with him it's real, if you disagree it was a joke, stop being so uptight
