We might not be able to always reason about function totality, but perhaps sometimes we can. Isn't that what `std::convert::Infallible` is trying to do? So you get

fn try_from(value: U) -> Result<Self, Infallible>

In which case you could potentially avoid the need for an unwrap.
I mean, the Alone people are literally starving. Levels of hunger play a huge part in how much you enjoy your food. I really enjoy a fresh bell pepper at times, but not right after desert.

You're arguing that people who eat bad things constantly only want a little of them when that is obviously not true. Plenty of people eat far too much steak far too often. People are keyed to like salt, fat, & sugar. It's a balancing act of moderation, it's not just a matter of finding that you love vegetables and you will always find them just as satisfying as Twizzlers.

While its true Megrahi and co were tried under Scottish law, it wasn't in a court room in Scotland. There are a number of features of how the Megrahi case was tried by Scottish judges in an area of the Netherlands on a US airforce base that was legally declared part of Scotland that are unusual, it was a very unique process that has never been repeated:

> https://www.theguardian.com/uk/1999/apr/07/lockerbie

There are aspects of how that trial unfolded that have long been subject of concern even from victims families (Dr Jim Swire famously); politically a "not proven" verdict would have been so unpalatable I'm honestly not sure how much chance there ever was of that occurring - politics is how we ended up in the bizarre Scottish courtroom in the Netherlands situation in the first place. Even the way in which the judges deliberated is not standard for a typical High Court of Justiciary case in its normal home in Scotland.
There are two different kinds - red and green. The red ones are the ones you usually find in dried format, and imo they aren't very numbing unless you really crush up a lot of them. The green ones tend to have more fruitiness and numbing power, especially if you can get them fresh. Otherwise it's probably easier to just buy the pre-seasoned oil.
> How do you define former space state?

Russia likely lacks the ability to indigenously develop a novel space platform. This is fine. Its economy is between New York and Florida. But for a culture geared towards dignity, it could be dangerous.
I did and do understand file trees and how to navigate them, and I think they aren't good. They are a carryover from the physical world of "a place for everything and everything in its place" which means you need to remember which room and cupboard and shelf everything is, go there, open the cupboard, and get it.

In a computer, it can be "anything you want appears wherever you are, when you need it". This is hugely more convenient. Let the computer deal with storage (and versioning) similar to garbage collection dealing with memory management. Locate on Linux and VoidTools Everything on Windows let you conjour things up without caring where they were stored, and increasingly photo libraries let you search by the content of pictures rather than the filename. Full-text search is also imaginable although on Windows it's not been good enough to use for years.

The idea that the ever-growing list of things I use a computer for should take an ever-growing amount of space in my head to remember where everything is, is a bad idea. "Everything" tells me my comptuer has roughly 1.4 million files; most of them were put there by installers, not directly by me. If I can not-care about the location and storage of ~99% of them, why can't I not-care about the storage arrangement of 100% of them?
If we truly want to get rid of unwrap() in most cases, and not have the language be a bear* to use, then it needs a tactic language or something for proving invariants like that at compile time.

Past that, we're going to have code that calls unwrap(), unless we want what should be simple to consist mostly of pattern matching boilerplate (and functions returning Result<T,...> when they could just be T).

* - Of course, now you have to deal with a tactic language / dependent types, and those could arguably be called a bear in and of themselves ;)

So yes - I'd say you're getting swindled still.

There is a markup. But UberEats is much more integrated into the food delivery system than a random task rabbit worker and it is still cheaper.
Those goalposts are moving quickly. "It's impossible" -> "It's too costly" -> "The wrong people are supposedly footing the cost (without considering the gigantic externalities)" -> "I just want Russia to win"

On paper, certainly.

But a lot of those missiles have been stored somewhere in Siberia for 40+ years. Their condition is probably less than stellar. Who would regularly inspect and maintain random ammo dumps located five timezones away from Moscow in the middle of nowhere?

I suspect that at least some of those missiles are outright out of commission and others are unstable enough to be a danger to the Russians themselves.

> Democracy. In our system of government we elect leaders, those leaders are responsible to the people who have elected them

that is precisely what happened, and what has been happening, and the result is still that neither most voters nor most voters' elected representatives believe that the trade-offs made constituted poor judgement

> This has been sidestepped in recent decades by appointing experts who have the ability to use the force of law without explicit congressional approval.

most americans would not agree with this framing or sentiment, as we are fine with our elected representatives delegating some of their power, given how slowly and infrequently congress can act

> This is unconstitutional and the supreme court in the past year has twice affirmed this view

to some degree, recently, yes, but not all delegated authority is unconstitutional

> We can't allow our leaders to hide behind people that they themselves have appointed when those appointees make choices that may have disastrous consequences.

We don't believe that is happening at all, neither the hiding, nor the disastrous consequences

> "I did my best" is of little comfort to someone harmed by their choices

pithy witticisms are of little use in convincing the country that people or organizations should be judged for not acting based on knowledge they didn't have at the time of the action being judged
My go to are the storage totes from Harbor Freight. There are a few sizes and it has removable bins like the Ridgid ones. Usually $16 for the larger ones like in the Ridgid one. But I often get them for around $10 on sale. My guess from the image is that the harbor freight aren't quite as high quality though.
Could you give a more complete example? I see the type signature for the function you're proposing, but I still don't understand what is supposed to replace .unwrap() on the inside of the function.

> I assert most people will enjoy a baked potato ... about as much as garlic bread

See I'd assert the opposite, or at least the following more nuanced version, for myself:

If I make a baked potato, I'll eat it and be quite happy -- even delighted! -- with it. But! If I have to choose between a baked potato or garlic bread (say, on a restaurant menu) I'd choose the garlic bread virtually every time, unless I'm exerting Herculean levels of willpower to choose healthier options. And if I'm served a baked potato and garlic bread, I'd probably eat the potato, and then somehow find room to eat the garlic bread anyways.

I don't disagree that healthy food can be very tasty, but I mitigate my own struggles with healthy eating by "merely" never keeping unhealthy options around, so I can focus more on the joy of the healthy food, and not have to constantly choose to avoid the high-calorie treats.

The change happened because of the labor movement. If you aren't ownership, then you are a worker and you should have solidarity with all the other workers.

That's a stretch. That sketch is about one-upmanship as to who suffered more. (Which is also toxic behavior when taken out of comedic contexts. I know people who do this unironically and it's not healthy.)

Agree with the parent, it's great to develop a richer context on top of the OP and have everyone benefit as a result, but there's no need to put one down in order to raise another. They're both cool and interesting.

To learn, I'd suggest:

1. Buy a cocktail book. I got one ages ago, so I'm not sure what I'd recommend today.

2. Pick one cocktail that you like and get the ingredients for it. Master it.

3. Slowly branch out to nearby cocktails that only vary by an ingredient or two.

4. Keep exploring that way.

Like other culinary stuff, cocktails tend to be organized into a large web of related drinks. So once you pick a starting point, you can just incrementally explore the graph without having to buy a pile of ingredients.

Eventually you will amass a pile of ingredients. But, fortunately, most last a very long time.

As far as a party goes, it depends a lot on your guests. In particular, their age. Cocktails go through fashion cycles like everything else and younger guests are more dialed in to those so will probably prefer whatever cocktails are big right now. I'm too old to know what that is but I know mules got super popular for a while.

Older guests will generally have a standby or two that they know they like.

If you just want to ensure everyone has a good time, I'd get sufficient beer and wine and then pick a popular cocktail or two. Anyone who doesn't like those particular cocktails can simply default to beer or wine.

If you want to have a "cocktail party" where everyone is encouraged to focus on those, then good coverage would be:

1. Something sweet and fruity for those who don't like a strong liquor taste. Cosmopolitans are good for this. Tropical drinks like mai tais can be good too, though rum might be too strong for some.

2. Something long for people who want a lighter, larger drink. "Long" means mixed with a carbonated beverage. This could be as simple as a Jack and coke or fancier like a Tom Collins. Gin and tonics are great.

3. Something whiskey-based. People who like whiskey really like whiskey. Old fashioneds work well or manhattans if you're a little more adventurous.

Talking to bartenders when you're at a bar is always great way to learn more. Just try not to bug them if they're clearly busy attending to patrons.
The standard method name also makes it super easy to go back and tighten things up when the time comes

I recently had a nontrivial project where I'd used maybe a dozen unwrap()s in different places and had gotten a handful of bug reports for resulting panics. So I decided to make a pass and finally clean them up

Project-wide search for unwrap(), went through and properly handled all of them, very quickly and easily plugged all the holes, no more panics being reported

> Also, the most easily reachable parts are already very degraded. Roads spell doom to the forest. Pristine forest is far from the areas with affordable amenities that would please most tourists.

That's not really correct in my experience. You can find "deep wilderness" in about 30-40 minutes from the city of Manaus (by boat), as in places with no human activity at all. And Manaus is very reachable (actually what people consider "the Amazon").

The city doesn't sprawl too far, and you have deforestation along the roads, but it's quite impressive how the "deep" jungle starts just after the last man-made structure. There are more areas of uninterrupted forest than in any other region probably in the world. And I visited in 2020, not really long ago.

I'm Brazilian and I didn't really expect that, knowing our bad track record of deforestation. I thought the "real" jungle would be much further away. Coming from the Southeast of Brazil I can see the difference, and I'd call forests in this region definitely degraded. But up there it's as close to pristine as it gets with human involvement. The tragedy is that it's not for long.

You could just rent an office. As in, commercial real estate. Talk to a realtor. Tell them what things you need and what your price range is.

You can also rent a private office inside those co-working spaces you don't like, so you don't really deal with other people there. If you have a private office inside one of those spaces, I'm not sure why the "culture" would make any difference.
Nit: 4% of "apartments" - means "apartments that are available from landlords seeking to rent to rentors and likely consitute the available inventory that is unable to churn, due to already being either overpriced, or shit-holes nobody wants to live in."

this is a different metric than:

What % of luxury "apartments" are uninhabited in extremely high cost situations where an average person isnt renting the "apartment" - but laundering money by owning such place and paying a tax placeholder fee...

And in addition CHURN

What % of apartments are experiencing churn and whilst during so, what is the rent increase on each new wave of tenants...

This would be a really intresting tower defence game.

You are the landlord/super/scumlease

You have apartments that will constantly dwindle in desireability

so you have upkeep.

You can accept the upkeep cost, or, for a lesser price, evict the current tenant and accept a new tenant at a fraction of the upkeep cost to keep revenues going into the future with % rates you like that keep you slum lord-ship going... or you kill them all, demolish and build a new building gentrify the neighborhood and blame it on rats, older policies etc...

Op didn't say "new and used"; they said "new and older".

Since the context is that of piracy, I think it's most likely that op wasn't saying he used to buy bootleg physical DVDs for a console, but rather that they used to download executables for a personal computer.

If so, I've also come around to buying games in about the same manner as OP describes. Your question sounds odd to me, because I've never purchased a "used" game; since about 2011 when i gained access to stable internet every game I've purchased has been a digital purchase from an official distributor or directly from the creators.

There are other discussions to be had about whether digital purchases with online drm are truly purchases or rather subscriptions, and whether the cost of a AAA title should still be as high as it is given that you can't resell it the way you could when they were physical (and how inflation plays into things), etc, but those are out of scope here.

And then there's unauthorized resellers like g2a. I'll admit I've bought from there in the past, but I stopped after reading a great breakdown of how these hurt game developers more than piracy. These are a little like the used market for digital (certainly the creators don't get any of the money changing hands). But there are differences - since usually, once a key is consumed to play a game, it can no longer be resold. I assume this affects the market to look quite different from, say, gamestop.
Those extreme measures would get all the leadership killed or hiding in bunkers forever (and I wouldn't bet on their lifespan in the bunker). There's plenty of graft still to be had in a weakened, declining Russia, on the other hand.
Vladimir Putin enacts a law prohibiting the use of digital assets for payments.
You are confused. Read my comment again. I’m just saying, if you don’t want people cloning your software and competing with you for support contracts, then don’t make it open source. It’s absurd to make your product open source, use open source as a marketing point, incorporate millions upon millions of lines of other peoples code into your product, and then complain when people do exactly what your open source license gives them the right to do.

And you literally said:

>I personally find that gross and unethical, but that's just my opinion.
> I don't think it's fair to blame France, they have long been pushing for nuclear as evidenced by their energy sources […]

… and right now you can see how "successful" they are with their nuclear power plants: so "successful" that they have to import energy because a lot of their nuclear power plants are currently offline, due to unexpected problems related to safety. Even better, the current hot weather also causes serious problems and reduces power output.
Steam has DRM, the Apple Store has DRM and other services like GoG don't. Where do game developers put their games? The places with DRM.

Unpopular opinion, down votes incoming: Just because you don't like the way a company chooses to distribute software doesn't make piracy right or justified.

Under capitalism, the nature of the relationship between productive employees and the employer is exploitative (while simultaneously being mutually beneficial). It is in the employer's interest to extract as much surplus value from the employee as possible.

"Consider the human"-type messages do not appeal to CEOs, and if they did, he would ultimately be replaced because dehumanization is baked into the core of the system.

It changes the meaning of some titles. It makes more of them less baity.

The danger with these arguments is that you only notice the cases that don't work. That's a 100% failure rate! Can't get more stupid than that!

pg suggested this edit to me years ago and I spent a long time back testing it on old titles. At the time, it was a clear win. I suppose it's possible that title conventions have changed since then and taking another look might be a good idea.
