I mean they were evil from the beginning; my point is that she has has had plenty of time working at a non-evil company to not be dragged down for it. One could serve less time in prison for armed bank robbery

I learned this recently while doing an olive oil tasting in Greece: the bite in the back of your throat is caused by polyphenols - antioxidants. The bite is indicative that the olive oil is providing something healthy

This is pretty easy to understand if you have a cursory understanding of Rust and HTML.

I won't get into the HTML part (I think it's obvious), but the

  $(|_e| count.increment())
part is a rust closure. |_e| is the argument to the closure, which has a leading underscore because it's unused. I imagine it's some context about the event (thus the e). The rest is the body of the closure. It increments the count.

pretty simply

People don’t talk about quite much, when they talk about MGSV they talk about how insanely good of a stealth action game it is.

It can't do these things because it's not wanted. Say you have the following:

  enum Value {
      Float(f64),
      Ptr(*const T),
  }
Do you want the compiler to disallow certain bit patterns in the Float variant simply so that it can implement NanBoxing?

What I'm saying is that Hurd is just a kernel in the same way that Linux is also just a kernel

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as GNU/Linux, is in fact, just Linux.

I wish they would re-release the HP50-g, I had one somewhere but it got lost and I _loved_ that thing!

Not to distract from what is undeniably a pretty cool thing, it's hard to even call these "games" as there's absolutely no decision making going on. I absolutely loathe games like these because you're not actually doing anything.

I plan on using it to create a backup password/2FA device... eventually
