Bro. This is the fediverse. Don’t crap where you (we) live.

Yah but your user name is “LanguageIsCool” and you talk about the fun levels of various types of punctuation. You are definitely the outlier here. A cool outlier but an outlier none the less.

Ok. You can physically type them I concede, but normal humans don’t use them. Still a sign.

I would bet that the amount of non proof writers that uses em dashes goes up just because people see that it’s associated with ai and want to be funny.

I mean most people are going to use their phones to write messages and given you can’t physically type an em dash it would be normal to be suspicious if you see one.

Edit: turns out you can physically type them. Still, given that it’s not normal to use them it’s a sign in my book.

I mean it could be Mutex, or Rwlock or anything atomic. It’s just when I have to put stuff into an Arc<> to pass around I know trouble is coming.

You’ll be fine. You will learn the lifetime stuff and all will work out. It’s not that bad to be honest.

I mean yah. That’s what it takes. But like when I try to write code around Arc<_> the performance just tanks in highly concurrent work. Maybe it’s an OOP rust skill issue on my end. Lol.

Avoiding this leads, for me at least, to happiness and fearless, performant, concurrent work.

I’m not a huge fan of go-lang but I think they got it right with the don’t communicate by sharing memory thing.

Skill Issue.

For reals though adopting a functional style of programming makes rust extremely pleasant . It’s only when people program in object oriented styles that this gets annoying.

No loops, and no state change make rust devs happy devs.

After you edited it, it is more clear now. You should have phrased it that way to begin with.

Because saving video games and stopping the killing of children are mutually exclusive???

Those only really work for American style up down windows. In Germany and most eu countries a different style are used. They are hinged on both the bottom and the side and you can choose which set of hinges to use. Very useful but not compatible with American style window AC units. If you google for “German window” you’ll see the memes.

What are you going to do with a hijacked train? The moment you hijack it they’ll just shutdown power. Hostages? Good luck there are like 30 carts on the train all of which have window break tools and emergency door open tools.

Look at Germany or France. High speed trains are everywhere and there is no ID requirement beyond maybe a ticket check if you’re unlucky.

I mean it is true. They did help elect Trump. Before the election there were a ton of .ml accounts doing their best to get progressives to be politically apathetic. They were indistinguishable from right wing saboteurs.

Strong recommend for Stars Without Number. It’s a great hard sci-fi system if you leave out the optional psychic stuff.

What makes it interesting is that it’s very lethal. A level 5 party can easily get murdered by a group of level 1s if they get trapped or ambushed.

It makes for games where players think hard before committing to combat.

I used it to run a game set in Alastair Reynolds‘ “Revelation Space” universe and it worked well. I chose it because it does not force a very specific sci-fi universe on you. Super happy.
