Rust is very complex, in part due to the obsession with zero cost abstraction that leads to caring about lots of edge cases like NonZero types. But at least when I've worked with it, a lot of that you can just ignore and write straight forward code, and it'll still likely be very performant. Although the Rust sort of philosophy vibes with me better, so not all might find that so forgiving.

I did quit using Rust due to its compile times though. Even using dependencies that would advertise fast building like Bevy quickly started taking more than a minute to build (not from scratch, just making one line changes). And during that minute I'd get bored and do something else, and my productivity plummeted.

SMT negotiations are by far my favorite monster-collecting methods. Just equal parts philosophy, flirtation, and gibberish as they vibe check you.

I don't know if it was from a mod, but when I played with a friend there was a modifier to disable failing out of songs, so we'd enable it on those songs and just swing along wildly as best we could, and still finish them. Also helped us get a lot better at the game. Maybe that would work?

What? Norm was always an "apolitical centris" at his best, and was usually far more conservative, who would frequently punch down, like when he

transphobia/SAMocked the rape of a transman and the murder of him and his friends.
That's the context for his "I think everyone involved in this story should die" quote.

He stayed conservative, defended trump and attacked #MeTwo towards the end of his life. Other than like one 9-11 joke, I don't see any reason why leftists would want to claim or defend him?

He's very aware of the origin too. Later in that conversation he added:

Chivington might have been quoted as saying "nits make lice," but he is certainly not the first one to make such an observation as it is an observable fact. If you have read the account of wooden Leg, a warrior of the Cheyenne tribe that fought against Custer et al., he dispassionately noted killing an enemy squaw for the reason in question.

Cheers,

Gary

To pick a nit – last I heard, no scholar believes that runes can be read, pronounced, or that we have access to any ancient tradition of meaning. Modern runic divination is based on intuitive interpretation – well and good, but a flimsy basis for reconstructing lost languages and cultures.

Am I just not understanding the authors point or is this like, completely wrong? Linguistics is a real field, and there has been a lot of study into runes and the Germanic language family (probably too much study, considering the issue with Eurocentrism throughout linguistics). Wikipedia is pretty detailed about the different eras and how the runes were pronounced and changed.

The point about modern Runic Divination being vibes based looks to be true, but it seems wrong to bring it up unprompted and conflate the two.

Haven't seen the video myself and definitely not gonna now, but people under that post were saying that was plagiarized too from a Vanity Fair article.

Looks like going back to old English, strawberries were still berries. The botanical meaning was only added in the 1700s.

So blackberries, raspberries, tomatoes, pineapples, strawberries, and eggplants are all berries

Looks nice, but it fucks up the ligatures in a lot of functional languages other than pipes |>. Poor <$>, >>=, *>, >>>, and all their friends
