Maybe the 2020 edition is better than the one i got from 2017 but if things aren't entirely different, basically rust to you is just a reapplication of C++ idiom for a language that targets a compiler which was historically developed to emit machine code based on c++ on the demands of cpp semantics?

which edition, because honestly i found Blandy book very little value in providing any explanation about rust beyond demonstrating page over page rust's equivalences in c++. it's just really a translation of c++ patterns into rust equivalences. no explanation, history, context about language design or idiomatic patterns from the host language. I don't know the history of The Book's date of publish/development vs blandy's book enough make this any more than a conjecture: it seems like blandy's book is a re-take on the book.

also, i am not saying The book is any good beyond a tour of the language. come to think of it, it's actually less like TC++PL or D&EC++, and more like the tour of c++.

You realise that parent actually stated she was the architect and you disagreed about her being a teamster?

In the thread, the @google account replied with the suggestion of going through an appeal process but the user already apparently appealed and it was denied. it would be very interesting to learn what were the given reasons for its denial.

in cities where real estate is expensive and a premium, which pretty much is all metro cities in this world, this doesn't even tackle the real issue of the cost of paying for the space to store these cars. regardless of installing a solar panel strapped to a car lift, shopping centres, transit hubs, method of addressing the issue of parking space is by paying for space (also going up is't free or unrestricted in most jurisdictions).

isn't claiming something has a value of X but you can now get it a value of x/n like a marketing gimmick?

if you really need someone to give you a breakdown + application of the idea of fungibility to bribes to see the distinction, here you go:

when you bribe a teacher for a better grade, you aren't utilizing a relationship to induce a change in outcome, you are utilizing money, money that holds value independent of who is providing the bribe.

edit:i am making the assumption that parent read at least the wiki blurb of what the parent is replying to.

the who-you-know culture serves a totally different function than monetary bribes. bribes are very fungible.

It seems to be a way to record the path of readings you've through the bible. there might be a theological justification for doing this, and thus the reason why the webapp exist
