Give it a shot!

Rust can be a real pain in the ass: it's like having to solve mini logic puzzles as you're writing your code. At best, it's fun, at worst, it's a distraction and source of frustration.

You can always stop the rewrite if you discover you don't like Rust.

Rust has no runtime but somehow forces you to manage memory well. Idk how.

You tell the compiler which part of your code is responsible for each chunk of memory. Then the compiler gives you errors when you don't respect that. Roughly.

I had a pretty disastrous fight with my wizard, so I came up with a little list of "when X happens, use A,B, or C". That made combat much easier, since it had a list of escape methods for when I was cornered, spells to deal with invisible monsters, stuff to deal damage when I was in a safe spot, etc.

It only had five or six entries, but it made my turns way faster in combat.

Those are so good! Thank you for posting that link.

Let me check my spell list. Huh. Okay, now I need to check the source book, oh wait, it's in this expansion...

Damn. Jeff Bridges sounds old.

What's the other one?

I didn't use any of the original Metro UIs, but Square Home looks and behaves the way I expect.

The config interface is definitely clunky, but I've been able to get what I want.

Aye matey, tis the best use of CEOs at sea!

DeGiorgio is charged with assault within maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States. If convicted, he faces up to one year in prison.

International waters? That's a keel haulin'!

Square Home. I think I had to pay $3 for lifetime access to some features. It's worth it, IMO. Has widget support and a few other nice features.

The first paragraph is based on my news listening habits.

The second paragraph is based on my desire to turn on CBC radio or a podcast. I used to enjoy Morningside, the House, Basic Black, As It Happens, Prime Time, Vinyl Cafe, and Ideas.

Around the time Definitely Not the Opera started, and Michael Enright got the Sunday morning show, I found that I just didn't want to listen as much. Shows started to be vehicles for their hosts. Some interviewers seemed to be reading from a prepared list of questions. Interviewees don't seem to be experts, so much as partisans (I don't need an LPC/CPC hack telling me how they're doing in the polls).

Local news programming remains fine. White Coat/Black Art provides a novel perspective. The Debaters is still funny. I have no desire to listen to other shows.

CBC's news seems fine. They do a decent job on local reporting.

But I stopped enjoying their analysis and current affairs programming in the early 2000s. I'm not sure what changed, but the presenters and format really turned me off.

I'm using it as a skin on my Android device now. It's a great UI. But it was built for an unwanted platform.

I like that they c&p the foreign interference inquiry's unmet recommendations.

Listen to the podcast. They aren't shilling for the CPC, they're digging deeper into the polls.

When they discuss the NDP's performance, you can hear their frustration about missteps and missed opportunities.

That's exactly what the podcast discusses - apparently when asked if they're planning on voting, CPC supporters are around 60% positive, whereas LPC supporters are at 30%.

This is a really informative episode of the Breach - the discussion of polling beyond preferred party was very informative.

It's disappointing to see Lemmites spamming the dislike button just because they don't like the headline.

Sweet! Tax cuts benefiting the wealthy and new spending!

Joking aside: juicing CBC's mandate to cover local news is great. There are strong arguments that it should stop selling ads for some services (like podcasts and local news) so small producers have a shot at getting started. Hopefully that'll be included in the mandate change.

and "enters" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
