my genuine advice for using Rust effectively is very close to the joke of "doctor, it hurts when i do this!" "well stop doing that!" 90% of the time the thing you're losing (like being able to easily throw together a doubly linked list implementation) wasn't worth that much anyways.

Anyone else dreading America’s 250th birthday knowing Trump and his idiot administration are going to make it a trashy shitshow?

Google's new "partner ad settings" do not work.

The people claiming they regret voting for Trump will be right back voting Republican this November and in 2028

John McWhorter's NYT article today says: > The “s” in “island” was added because the Latin word was “insula” I didn't realize that the words "island" and "peninsula" were related, but now it seems evident that the "pen" prefix must be the same one in "penultimate". It's almost an island!

CS papers used to be printed for publication and collected proceedings were given to conference-goers and mailed to subscribers. This is hardly the case anymore. The 2-column PDF-based format for papers assumes this usage, and it's relatively hard to read on a screen. It's overdue for replacement.

Every single day, Trump does something that would have ended any other presidency.

my conspiracy theory is wall street is doing everything it can to keep everything from collapsing until dems take the house and senate so they can blame the implosion on them

My electric teakettle has 0.5L marked on it as minimum and 1.7L as maximum. That makes sense. It also has 1.2L marked on it. What is special about 1.2L?

Pet rent is such a scam. Often on top of a non-refundable pet deposit. On top of a maybe-refundable normal deposit, which covers the same things as the pet deposit.

What if all these "orbiting data center" proposals are really elaborate tax and fraud havens? Who collects taxes on revenues that are collected 1000 miles above international waters? Who prosecutes Ponzi schemes that are perpetrated there?

Dear America, Please stop saying that Donald Trump is the Leader of the Free World. He is not. We have Zero Respect for Him. Signed The Free World.

Our country can't move forward until Trump is impeached.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could say goodbye to TurboTax and file your taxes for free, online, and directly with the IRS? I have a bill to get that done.

I pay every penny I owe in taxes, but I must say that this year really felt like a gut-punch on account of all the illegal shit that the federal government is doing with our hard-earned money

In #Rust, `struct S<T>` yields a compiler error, but `fn f<T>() {}` does not even yield a warning. Why not? #rustlang

It’s not a ceasefire if the killing continues on one side. Mass atrocities are being carried out by Netanyahu in Lebanon with U.S. backing. (1/3)

A common #rust mistake I see is using `//` (plain comment) instead of `///` (doc comment). It doesn't seem like rustc or clippy knows to warn about this, which seems weird. #rustlang

Commit messages are important, why doesn't GitHub allow commenting on them in PRs?

We shouldn't all be forced to live in this episode of The Twilight Zone constantly. This is no way to live.

Through a series of coincidences I now possess three mini bottles of Scotch that were stored in a drawer at Donald Knuth's house from 2018 until today.

IMPEACH AND REMOVE

I always thought the whole "Great Satan" thing was just hyperbole.

Rep. Ted Lieu isn't backing down.

Jury duty again, ugh. What I really hate about jury duty is how they just waste your time with it. You show up just to sit around and then go home. How about not doing that?

Just think it’s dumb af to have to go to work when the President of the United States says shit like that

For the humanity's sake, this must be a TACO Tuesday.

The United States of America has become a shithole under Donald J. Trump. If you voted for him: Fuck you.

1. This is what America looks like with a President who is both a sociopath AND losing his mind. 2. It’s a good time to remind every member of the U.S. military they swore an oath to the Constitution, not an individual, and they have a duty/they are legally obligated to disobey illegal orders.

Democratic House Rep. Ted Lieu tells the Joint Staff to ignore illegal orders to commit war crimes from Donald Trump: “If you commit war crimes, the next Administration will prosecute you.” 🔥

It's lucky for vampires that they don't seem to need any particular blood type.

If people can go to prison for lying to Congress... Then shouldn't Members of Congress go to prison for lying to the people? There wouldn't be a Member of Congress left.

Y'all there is a woman and a black man circling the moon and NASA's mission control+ science teams are so diverse and people are nerding out about science and exploration this is all a gigantic middle finger to the stupid and hate and grotesque ghouls running our country

25TH AMENDMENT REMOVAL NOW

It's PAST time!!! #Iran #Epstein #EpsteinFiles

Eggs Benedict sounds like someone Al Capone would’ve known.

Before it happens, let me remind you that one of the strongest argument for the total abolition of nuclear weapons has always been that anything that can happen will eventually happen, for instance a deranged senile autocrat who would obliterate a country while not noticing he is shitting on himself

I just tried to "up dog" my seven year old nephew. "hey, do you have up dog?" Him: "Yeah!" And runs off to his room. He comes back with a toy: the dog from "Up". "it's the Up Dog" Damn he got me

Why the fuck are we paying taxes right now? Seriously.

If illegal wars and deportations are all my federal taxes are going to now, I don't want to pay them anymore.

One very minor #Rust syntactic affordance, that C lacks, is that it Rust makes it easy to cut and paste between function parameter declarations and struct field declarations. In C, though, for no reason I know, the former are comma-delimited and the latter are semicolon-delimited. #rustlang

TIL that #rust allows &, |, and ^ on bool (as well as on integer types). I didn't know; I would have guessed that only &&, ||, and != were allowed for bool. #rustlang

I’ve started investing in stocks: beef, chicken, and vegetable. Someday, I hope I’ll be a bouillonaire.

Donald Trump is such an abomination that it really shakes you to your core that there is even a single person that would support him.

so Konqueror (the kde web browser) is currently using Qt WebEngine, which is based around Chromium (Blink), which was initially forked from WebKit, which was initially forked from KHTML... the original engine written for Konqueror.

"Between 100 and 150 ICE officers" at airports? The US has more than 150 airports, so that is an average of zero.

Windows has a hardcoded hotkey for LinkedIn that is Ctrl+Shift+Alt+Windows+L so I don't want anyone to complain about Emacs keybindings anymore.
