It doesn't look like they update it more than once a year. I guess we'll see where we stand next January (if we make it that long)

I said the same thing in 1983: it's been 14 years since ARPANET, how long will we be in the early stages of the internet? It took 50 years of hard work before the day came when you could order a burrito from your couch. Sometimes change takes a generation or two. Be patient.

First COVID, then Putin, and now Dylan. When will it end?

No, not all ponzi schemes are wrapped in a cloak of crypto.

    enum MyEnum { Ok(u8), NotOk }
    
    fn main() {
        let value = MyEnum::Ok(42);
        assert!(matches!(value, MyEnum::Ok(_)));
        
        match value {
            MyEnum::Ok(x) => assert_eq!(x, 42),
            MyEnum::NotOk => unreachable!(),
        }
    }
No unsafe to be found. The feature is there, it just has a different keyword than you might be used to -- the same way Haskell and Java both have something called "class" that mean different things.

If that's true, it sounds like companies have been weaponizing the legal system to get access to proprietary information from their competitors. Surely that has got to be illegal somehow?

> remotely swiping Bitcoin

In other words, he used his own private key to send a transaction. How is that "hacking"?

> Create a \Quicken directory in the root

Windows has an existing convention for this, like Linux's XDG. Imagine if you looked at your Linux filesystem root and saw /boot, /dev, /usr, /tmp, and /Quicken.

If you're in the US, £510 might turn out to be pretty cheap by time 2023 rolls around.

I was expecting that too. It seems strictly more expressive, since once you have the niche, you can do anything you like with it.

And INT_MIN is a better place for it than zero imo. If Rust had a `BalancedI32` I would reach for it a lot more than I use the NonZero types. In my code at least, I've found zero is a pretty useful number.
