What's rust's C++ interop like?

Holy crap; that's pretty epic. Did you come up with that yourself?

There have been some great responses that cover the gist of it, but to add a couple more mundane specifics:

- Build up the thinnest abstraction that lets you express a solution in the problem domain.

- Allow the API user to express their intent, and not be focused on mechanics they don't need to understand to get the job done.

- Focus on getting the interfaces right before the implementation is perfect.

- A clean interface will allow you to make drastic changes to the implementation without the API consumer becoming aware.

Char peppers for peeling.

Thousands of directories over thousands of installations? It’s not that far fetched.

Elon routinely converses with Nazis? Which ones?

This is exactly the problem. Have /you/ contemplated what would happen if you applied that reasoning to any other group (e.g. Jews, Blacks, Oracle employees)?

X is a better experience for me now, than it was before Elon's takeover. If I don't want to see something, I don't look at. If I don't want to allow someone to interact with me, I block them. If I believe something is bullshit/a lie, I participate in the community notes.

I don't need a nanny to pre-chew my information for me.

Yes. It's there to keep things unspecified. If you leave the job, you're not paid out unused vacation. If you use too much, you run afoul of an unspoken rule

"We published what we thought was a valid paper on a fat man in red that lives on the north pole and gives presents to children at the end of December. Unfortunately we didn't realize that the aeronautical data on his flying reindeer was falsified. This was clearly data fraud, and has no impact on us being a trustworthy peer-reviewed journal." lol

They found 7 gullible journals that accepted their papers. 4 of which got published before the project was discovered.

Focusing on "fabricating observational data" is a cope for the fact that Boghossian et al made the targets of their papers look like absolute fools. The problem with the paper "Human reactions to rape culture and queer performativity at urban dog parks in Portland, Oregon" wasn't that the data was wrong.

Sokal and Boghossian's work intended (and succeeded?) to accomplish the same thing: they demonstrated the fact that these academic disciplines are full of bullshit producers and consumers.
