Oh yeah, I remember the good ol' "Our whole business Logic is within this 30 tables spread sheet, that only one person can read, and don't you dare restarting that computer" times.

One person. Sitting in front of three monitors. In front of a spreadsheet that maxed out every resource of that computer. It was glorious.

When I was a kid, Chernobyl happened. We weren't that far away and although I was very little I still remember the fear and uncertainty in my parent's faces. The following years were marked by research about what we can no longer eat, where our food comes from, etc

I also remember the fights about where to store nuclear waste.

I don't want to burn coal. I am pretty upset about what happened to our clean energy plans. But I will also never trust nuclear again. And I think, so do many in my generation.

Online vegan here. Just wanted to add that after a couple of years of the same jokes and arguments and demeaning comments that were forced upon you because you had to explain why you don't want to eat what everyone else around you eats, you kinda lose your tact a bit.

Never went to somebody with a burger in hand and called him a murderer. Been called an emasculated pussy and wittle little rabbit for eating a salad so many times. Same people then complain about annoying vegans. It's a bit infuriating.

I'd like to see the math here. Do we even produce enough wheat (and drinking water) to produce a noodle that reaches all the way to Pluto?

It led me to think about Spotify's politics and ethics and ultimately leaving it as well as a paying customer.

As someone speaking German, a brutally gendered language, let me tell you, they/them is awesome and I'd love to have something similar in German. There is so much fighting and discussions about "gendern" and it consumes so much energy that could be better spent elsewhere. And conservatives are having a field trip with this.

Looking for a new word is equally as hard if not way harder than using what already works fine.

I recently found out about this and I love it! Used to use paperwork for my scanning and archiving but paperless ngx is so much better.

I drowned some ants when I was a little kid in our backyard because I was scared of them and also curious. My neighbor told me to think about what I did. I was mortified. I'm a vegan now.

Kids need to learn that kind of empathy. Although I don't think I would have ever thought about about ripping limbs from frogs.

Ich habe noch nie über das Wort nachgedacht. Bis eben.

Came here to point that out. You also have LTS versions for business critical software. Sometimes, a newer version is in beta or nightly mode for a long time while the stable version only receives bug fixes.

The question is, why does it run on Linux and not Apple

 

I want to create a global hash map that maps strings to vectors of colors. This data needs to be queried by multiple functions and should just be hard coded into the program. That doesn't seem possible.

Now, how is the right (tm) way to do something like that in Rust? What if you need just a bunch of data structures from the beginning of the program until its end where some of the data needs to allocated?
