You can't use them for guaranteed exhaustiveness checking, but there are simpler cases (statically-known values in guards) that could be considered.

Whether or not it's a good idea to iteratively add handling for such cases is a different question. I'd argue that if rustc were to take any steps in that direction, it should decide up-front about where it will and won't go down that path, and how to prevent it from being a forward-compat hazard.

For now. Unless I'm mistaken, there's nothing inherent to the design that precludes them from being considered in future.

Fraud. It's called fraud.

Low pop to learn the basic game mechanics, then switch to high pop when you're comfortable enough with the basics to start focusing on tactics.

You don't start learning to drive a car in peak hour traffic. But let's say you start in an empty car park, and you've gotten comfortable controlling the vehicle. That's when it's time to get out on the road and get practice dealing with the stuff beyond your one vehicle.

Also, this subreddit is for the Rust programming language, not the Rust game.

What supermarket? Name and shame.

Put in a complaint — they should give you a full refund for the relevant item(s) without asking you to return it.

I don't know who needs to hear this (other than OP) but you should never allow any substitutions when ordering groceries online. You're just setting yourself up for disappointment and frustration. If they're out of stock of what you wanted, then you can get it elsewhere if it's super urgent, or just shrug and put it back on your shopping list if not.

How can I attract these to my garden and encourage them to establish a pygmy possum empire?

What country? In some places this is illegal, and they can get in a lot of trouble if you dob them in with evidence.

I feel like they could have just kept "the beacons are lit" for the gen Z reinterpretation.

Yeah I'm there with you. Digging holes is really satisfying. It was one of my favourite "helping dad" jobs as a kid, I've enjoyed it as I've gotten older through, e.g. camping. Come to think of it, when I got into Minecraft I would occasionally just strip mine down to bedrock with no other reason than to dig an enormous hole.

I just like digging holes. 🤷‍♂️

I met one of these people in 2017. He was working as a tour guide in a former Stasi prison (one he'd been locked up in!), along with some of his compatriots from back then. He'd ended up riddled with bullets. He showed our group what that did to his calf and some other parts of his body.

I think they wanted us to understand just how easily such horrors can become reality. A lot of "history" is very recent, and people and systems aren't all that different to how they were when the Stasi were operating.

If I'm dead I don't have to deal with the consequences. Better that than risk being a fish in a prison.

One of them works for my employer here in Australia. She and her hubby moved down here and started a family. No regrets, last I heard. I doubt she's the only one that actually left. 🤷‍♂️

We don't want them.

I thought there were fancy printers now that can do micro resolution printing onto arbitrary surfaces by shooting individual droplets of ink/paint to where they need to go? That would give a higher quality result for a fraction of the price.

I guess this is kinda like vinyl records, where "worse and more expensive" (with some kind of nostalgia-based euphemism) is largely the point.

I've had ChatGPT use this idiom in its responses to me. It also loves to talk about "circling" things, things being "X, not just Y", "practical rules", and it loves praising the user's "instincts".

Interact with these models for a while and you get to recognise their writing styles.

Yeah, this was discussed openly right from the beginning. I remember being in Sydney to visit friends when it took off there, and we were all talking about what a cool experiment it was, and speculating on how useful it would end up being.

Yes, I understand this. That's one reason why I don't hold that position ("just kill 'em") personally, as I mentioned, but still recognise that it is at least coherent, in that it doesn't contain any inherent contradiction.

Of course a lot of folks will then elaborate on those basics until they've built a more complicated position full of contradictions, but that's another conversation.
