If it's for your children, why does it need to exist digitally for 100 years and not, say, 20?

The solution is to print out your writing, put the pages in plastic sleeves, and clip them into binders. Keep the copies in filing cabinets in separate physical locations. It's a one-time cost that isn't subject to digital media issues. You can't accidentally delete the writing or lock yourself out of an account that stores the files like you can with a digital copy

To be fair, the author says it's the "_supposed_ difficulty of writing err != nil" and says that the verbosity isn't an issue here. But he also earlier says that he "[hates] having to write pub all the time in Rust" to denote public visibilities. So typing seven extra characters in one place = tolerable, but four extra characters elsewhere = detestable

Its not really a matter of logic, I guess.

Writing `pub` is personally more annoying to me than writing `if err != nil`. I understand that most people don't like how capitalization determines visibility, but I think it actually makes sense when you think about it.

Your link only shows past 5 years, so you're missing the hayday of music piracy, was this intentional?

Try this: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&geo=US&q=s...

Try with any music piracy (or hell, piracy in general) related search terms and you'll see a similar trend.


Not GP, but I was expecting to read about a C64 on fire and was disappointed when it was just a post about an unoptimized fire demo


Well yeah. This snowman kicks butt!

Excuse me, but what? Do you not know of the reputation Microsoft had with Bill Gates? Embrace, extend, extinguish?
