That's easily the exception rather than the rule. I've seen custom `Drop` implementations in almost every non-trivial Rust codebase I worked on.

Specifically:

> [...] giga- is always 10^9, which is 'billion' in short scale but 'milliard' in long scale.

Kagi is not immune to this (it's the substrate itself that's losing quality, not just search) but it's a decent antidote.

Just to add another data point to this, 300 would absolutely not be enough for me. Here's my usage stats:

Jul 2026 939

Jun 2026 1,317

May 2026 1,924

Apr 2026 2,537

Mar 2026 2,183

> some deaf mouth breather

I quite agree with the overall point but can we leave this kind of discourse on X, please? It doesn't add much, it just feels caustic for effect and engagement farming.

Which MAGA comment, specifically? Are you referring to this?

> While there are things I would handle differently than the current U.S. administration, I appreciate @JDVance taking a leadership role in recognizing this type of regulation is a fundamental unfair trade issue [...]

You may or may not agree, it hardly seems MAGA though.

> You do what a country tells you to do as a foreigner, or you leave.

I suppose you're right. You're still allowed to criticize the government's decisions though! This is certainly true in Italy, which has quite reasonable laws with regards to freedom of speech.

> what is he aiming to achieve here by disrespecting their government

Western government instituitions are hardly sacred. Again, people are allowed to criticize them, or disrespect them event if they so desire. What he's trying to achieve is a more just and reasonable application of the law, as it's quite clear if you'll care to carefully read the tweet instead of raging at his supposed disrespect for the Italian government.

Simply don't use the new features..?

All of this is entirely optional. You're free to code the "old-fashiond" way, if you so prefer.

Indeed. I'd imagine most of the value of such automation would come from supposedly better quality control, not from saving money on salaries.

> there are plenty of other watches that are arguably better due to them being made by robots

In the world of watches, this logic extends far beyond "handmade vs made by robots". Quartz, for example, is better than automatic & mechanical in every single quantitative metric, yet perceived as lower value due to the lack of craftsmanship.

I believe this is technically true, but somewhat myopic when it comes to how maintainers approach unsafe blocks in Rust.

UBs have unlimited blast radius by definition, and you'll need to write correct code in all your unsafe blocks to ensure your application is 100% memory-safe. There's no debate around that. From this perspective, there's no difference between a C application and a Rust one which contains a single, incorrect unsafe block.

The appreciable difference between the two, however, is how much more debuggable and auditable an unsafe block is. There's usually not that many of them, and they're easily greppable. Those (hopefully) very few lines of code in your entire application benefit from a level of attention and scrutiny that teams can hardly afford for entire C codebases.

EDIT: hardy -> hardly (typo)

They are not – if the goal becomes to capture the king, and check-related rules are removed from the game, stalemates become impossible.

Yeah, I didn't think it through. I'd imagine such a rule change would still make draws significantly less likely though, right?
