  • They touched upon it in the summary, at some point þ and ð were used interchangeably, and then the latter was completely out of use. It's not like they tried to be as confusing as possible, but we get what we get

  • In the comment section there is a link to the article about David Woodard, who is the main character of Wikipedia's investigation

    The article is from 2000, more than 25 years ago now, but it looks like an interesting complementary read

  • Yeah, this whole meme just looks like ‘I hate Rust and don't want it anywhere’

    Of course, there is importance in trying it everywhere, because it shows where the language and ecosystem lacks and can evolve; but beside that, I think adoption by big companies wouldn't happen if it wasn't any good as some want to believe

  • Wait, so you say res_res?? gives more information than res_res.flatten()?, do you?

    I mean, this is a very trivial case and not best suited for flatten at all, but the information is lost in exactly the same way

  • This, it's not a thing that happens often, but there were a couple of times when flatten would've been handy

    This was also usually a result of a chain of and_then that could do with some flattening. This could've been rewritten as a separate function to make use of ?, but it seems to be a bigger trouble than use

  • I do this sometimes. After I reply, I don't expect another question maybe because I assume it would be in a single question otherwise. Then I return back to whatever I was doing and can often not notice any new messages ¯(ツ)

    On the other hand, I'm usually ok if you choose at your own discretion in such a case, I'm not the one to be picky if I failed to choose in the first place

  • U.S. president Donald Trump issued a suite of directives in May aimed at hastening the development of advanced nuclear reactors. The directives, delivered via a set of four executive orders, set ambitious goals, such as having 10 new large reactors under construction by 2030

    This unexpectedly sounds like a good idea, albeit I'm a bit afraid of what will become of it in reality

  • The team systematically collected, organized and vetted millions of public records, used emerging technologies such as generative AI to build the database, and created from scratch a searchable user-interface.

    I'm not sure how to feel about the use of AI that is usually quite error-prone, but I guess it allowed them to categorise and process millions of records instead of hundreds.

  • I agree completely, I still think that for some things Nix is the most convenient thing, e.g. when packaging cross-compiled images of the apps, but I would never be able to build this from ground up, and whenever something breaks it's a pain to fix. Using NixOS on Mac at least taught me how it works more or less, and it mostly does except for when it doesn't and I'm in it deep
