  • All of Telegram's Lies About Privacy

    Jump

  • They still don’t have backups on iOS which is a deal-breaker for me.

  • Federal grand jury indicts six men for conspiring to steal and re-sell restaurant cooking oil

    Jump

  • How is this not an actual crime? The restaurants had the oil in collection containers to be a collected by someone they had an agreement with, and these people came around and stole it.

    Why are American universities so expensive?

    Jump

  • Going to a private university certainly isn’t a requirement, and in-state tuition for public universities is much, much lower (but still too high).

  • When describing color temperatures, the "warm" color tones actually have colder temperatures.

    Jump

  • Also a bleak winter day is usually mostly whites and blues.

  • Yeah I’ve opted out every time (a couple times each at three different airports) and haven’t had any issues, the agents I’ve seen knew exactly what to do if someone opts out.

  • Every airport I’ve gone through that’s doing it has half a dozen signs up as you move through the line telling you that you can opt out by letting them know you want to.

    Jump

  • I’ve refused it a few times now and every agent knew exactly what they needed to do.

  • Thoughts on the Explorer QRZ-1 for $22 through QRZ Jumpstart program?

    Jump

  • I have the QRZ-1, but it doesn’t seem to be any better than that baofeng so if you already have that it’s probably not worth it.

  • BrainBridge – The World’s First Head Transplant Machine Concept

    Jump

  • Is this satire?

  • Oh boy what a beautiful regex. I'm sure it does something logical and easy to understand.

    Jump

  • Yes, the first one matches only 2 more characters while the second matches 1 or more. Also the +? is a lazy quantifier so it will consume as little as possible.

  • Fires set in drop boxes destroy hundreds of ballots in Washington and damage 3 in Oregon

    Jump

  • When I’ve done mail-in voting the ballot came with a special envelope that was already addressed, had pre-paid postage, and I had to sign it after sealing my ballot inside.

  • I Don’t Know Why Women Keep Laughing at Me When I’m Out Driving my Tesla Cybertruck

    Jump

  • That doesn’t really make sense, even if they’re in the 37% tax bracket if the wrap costs $100 they only save $37 on taxes.

  • Would this be a correct syntax for error handling when making an http request?

    Jump

  • They did say they haven’t learned the ? operator (that’s chapter 9 of the rust book), so this approach might be better for once they get there.

  • Would this be a correct syntax for error handling when making an http request?

    Jump

  • You can use expect on Options and Results to extract the value and panic on Error in the same line (https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/result/enum.Result.html#method.expect).

     rust
        
let html_content = reqwest::blocking::get(&permalink).expect("the request should succeed");

    You can also use unwrap if you don’t need a custom message. The ? operator is definitely the most compact way of handling errors, and for good reason because the rust developers want people to use it. Once you learn that the code will become somewhat smaller.

  • ‘Giant bronze poop’ statue ‘honoring’ those involved in Jan. 6 riot appears on National Mall

    Jump

  • Terrible headline, I assumed the statue was suggesting the people involved are shit. The fact that it’s on a desk makes it very different, this is despicable.

  • Oklahoma seeks to buy 55,000 Bibles – exactly like the ones Trump is hawking

    Jump

  • The point is the requirements have been tailored so that they aren’t just buying bibles for schools (already bad), but their only option meeting the requirements will be the Trump one.

  • Switzerland: Police investigate 1st use of 'suicide capsule'

    Jump

  • They are using nitrogen gas, generated from liquid nitrogen.

  • Retirement Calculators: the good, the bad, and what I use

    Jump

  • This is really useful information, thanks!

  • About that...

    Jump

  • I wouldn’t say the OS is Linux any more than the OS of an Apple computer is XNU. Linux is just the kernel. Similarly the other OS isn’t “Windows NT kernel,” but Windows 10 or Windows 11.
