Or 11 - the last digit could be X (for ten) if they were using the modulo 11 check digit system.

For a long time I used DuckDuckGo for everything except specific error messages, because Google was better at those, but Google got more shitty and so did stack overflow, so I don’t bother much with Google anymore.

I don’t know, I still have about 30 spare from the turn of the century.

I don’t care. Why does anyone care?

so regularly I don’t need to check a schedule

30 minutes

Once it gets to every 5 minutes no one checks the schedule.

Large cities that aren’t run by idiot right wingers tend to invest in public transport and have the numbers to make this kind of frequency economic.

Taiwan is a land illegitimstely invaded by the Kuomintang and its citizens deserve to be liberated from western puppeteering.

By “liberated”, you mean invaded by a larger neighbour against the demonstrable will of the population, so no, they don’t deserve that.

Have you once expressed your support of Gaddafi in this website against western invasion and meddling?

No; he died before this website existed.

Your support of Cuba and Venezuela?

Cuba I support; they’ve shown how socialised healthcare can be far more effective and inexpensive than involving the private sector, and have held their own despite long term agitation, interference and intimidation by their large neighbour.

Venezuela I know less about. I knew a Venezuelan expat who left because he felt unsafe as a mixed race resident, but I’m afraid that that sort of persecution is all too common in lots of countries, and it’s getting worse b because of the rise of the far right at Putin’s intervention.

Your support of Lenin against external invasion by England, France, Germany, Italily and the USA during the Russian civil war?

A bit before my time, that one, I think. I’m inclined to disbelieve you on it, I’m afraid, because your takes on current world events fly in the face of facts and logic, so feel free to point me to Wikipedia to put me straight if it’s just a British cover up of yet one more awful act of our awful track record of imperial nastiness.

Glad I bring good memories and associations.

I’ve known quite a few people over the years who fit that description, and I can’t remember a single one I didn’t think very highly of, so I’ll take that as a big complement (despite very much not fitting that description myself).

Well done. Thank you.

The study checked this and found that the participants claimed to have no history of catcalling.

The study was intended to see if men would experience greater empathy with women following a VR experience of catcalling.

Peer pressure is a real thing and telling other men that their behaviour is not OK can have real impact.

You say this while supporting Russia?!

I support the invaded countries. You support the invaders.

What Israel is doing in Gaza is abhorrent.

What Russia is doing in Ukraine is terrible.

What China is planning to do in Taiwan is awful.

Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.

I think you’re having trouble distinguishing between the future tense and the past tense. Just as you’re having trouble distinguishing between the obvious reality and the Party line.

Rump is incredibly stupid. A very very very very stupid man, who believes most of his own bullshit. But he understands how stupid racist Americans think and it’s very plausible to those ears.

To hypothetical rape. And Russian soldiers raped Ukrainian women and kidnapped Ukrainian children to Russia too.

Maybe formerly communist China will behave better than formerly communist Russia when they invade their smaller neighbour to try to pretend that their leader has a big dick.

Why not stick to the improving lives of the Chinese people instead of wasting money and effort on a vanity war? China is one of the world’s oldest civilisations, with one of the best long term planning governments the world over. Silly and short sighted to throw the maturity and respect away on a vanity war like Putin’s war. Everyone used to think that Russia’s land forces were unstoppable. Not any more. Woe to China if it follows someone as vain as Putin to think that war is simple and short. USA keeps having to learn that lesson over and over b feverish their leaders are short sighted and they think that because their military is the strongest they can easily and quickly win wars and change countries to be like them. They’re wrong. Every stupid war they start ends up with them looking weaker. Putin made the same mistake. Why would wise old China follow the idiots to the fool’s gold?

Just like Russia was doing completely innocent military exercises near the Ukrainian border in the run up to waging all out years long war on its much smaller neighbour. Oops, sorry, no, you don’t call it that, you call it a three day “special military operation”.

/s in case you missed it.

Good plan. One paradigm shift at time! All the best with the rust project.

“I had to kill him, officer, he was attending self defence classes with the intent to hit me.”

Functional programming is very different in how you get stuff done.

I would recommend learning Elm first for functional programming before trying anything hairier like Haskell etc.

Elm is a small and lovely language for writing web pages/sites/user interfaces, and has a blisteringly fast compiler that is also the most genuinely helpful of all the compilers I’ve ever used.

It’s a blissfully stable antidote to JavaScript’s exhausting “that whole approach is so last month” churn.

I think the borrow checker is trying to tell me to use clone on recursive calls inside a double nested loop!

Rust is not a hard language to use or learn

Rust is a superb language, but it is famously not easy to learn.
