That doesn’t look like a particularly difficult challenge? Like, it’s just an implementation game, move returns a data type that you write yourself

Edit: I suppose there’s life in that kind of ambiguous variation though

This is excellent content

Indeed I am. Forgot the name, lol, not worked with rust for a few months 😅

Type guards, then :) very cool, much compiler power, love it

Rust isn’t really a language that lends itself to terse point-free functional idioms… The sort of examples I might want to share would probably require a bit more context, certainly more code. Like I think type guards and arena allocation are cool and useful tricks but I don’t think I could write a neat little example showing or motivating either

I’m a simple man. I see midnight commander, I think ‘dang, I need to use it more, stop calling me out’

But how do you write your awk script?

'spose that’s true enough

This is why I like strong type systems with exhaustivity checks

Apparently they can’t read their own survey results because DevEx is clearly the highest paid category there but they think it’s SRE and cloud

I never got the impression Michelle even wanted to run, and frankly I’m not impressed by the notion that the best candidate was a wife of a previous victor. Didn’t work out terribly well last time, and not actually particularly great credentials on their own

Bring back political executions! I can see no downsides!

Erm, clearly you need an etymology lesson. Nazi - National. Nazi - Communzist

Many years ago, my aunt bought an old, terribly specced laptop and couldn’t get Windows to run on it. I installed Ubuntu and everything was fine - she could check her email and browse toxic conspiracy theories on Facebook and all was good with the world.

Two years later when visiting I got my first support request - would I mind showing her how to print something? No problem, but would you mind showing me what you were trying? She was selecting menu items to send to a virtual printer, not the one on the network. I show her the correct printer to send to and the thing prints. Easy. Out of curiosity, I check the outbox queue for the virtual printer. Over a hundred documents, going back two years.

For two years she’d been unable to print, and every single time she’d ever attempted to print something she’d followed the exact same steps that didn’t work, and just accepted that this was the way things were.

SMH.

Well yeah because booting into Linux is so much faster

That’s indepe dance to you, good sir

I know you’re playing the straight man to a joke, but actually you can apply a linter, then tell GitHub to ignore the implied ownership history for the purposes of blame from that reclining pr. All such prs are massive and yet by virtue of the replayability of the linter it’s also very easy to ensure errors didn’t slip in when reviewing.

I know the original comment was about renaming all the variables, but that’s obviously deliberately absurd, so I’m using here a completely realistic example instead.

Yeah but I bet you do it sometimes on your own pull requests even after you’ve opened them don’t you?

Astroprojection is a dying art and I applaud your service

Plenty of my real friends are people I used to work with back before I was married and stopped getting as much out of this sort of culture… There doesn’t need to be some hard line here - just because you work with people doesn’t mean you can’t be friends
