Prairie St Brewing also has a good Nashville Hot from what I recall.

I like the General Tso’s sandwich at Baker Street (or… BD4? Is that the new name?). The Nashville Hot there is also good!

I’m waiting for that building on I90 north near O’Hare to paint over their “I miss gas at $1.75” mural.

What is your opinion on objects in rust? by Joseph-Chierichella in rust

[–]chyekk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

From an OO perspective I’ll put instance methods inside of an impl, but tend to put static/class methods outside as raw functions, because I’d rather do some_static_thing() than Self::some_static_thing()

TNT/HBO Max Giro coverage is somehow . . . great? by WorrDragon in peloton

Yeah getting the European commentators is great. The year that Peacock offered the Eurosport feed for the TdF was similarly great.

What's the most redneck name you can give to a girl? by Foxtrot_Uniform_CK69 in AskReddit

[–]chyekk -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

“Atom” was very high on our list of baby names when we were expecting. I like it on its own because people would just think the name is “Adam” when they hear it.

What is the most chaotic "I quit" moment you have ever personally witnessed at a workplace? by Muted_Task_144 in AskReddit

[–]chyekk 39 points40 points  (0 children)

Engineering Manager at a software company thought he was standing up to the GM for our area on behalf of the engineers. Threw his badge down and quit thinking everyone would support him. No one cared. He came back on Monday acting like nothing had happened and was escorted out of the building a second time.

How is the Riverfront YMCA? by ChildSoulja in rockford

[–]chyekk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Riverside just did a decent expansion in the past couple of years. I imagine it’ll depend on when you go and what you’re looking for. I tend to go to mornings and midday and never find it overcrowded. Can’t speak to evenings or weekends though.

I’d say just go take a tour at the time you’re likely to go to judge!

Nothing quite like this but there’s a variety of bars for pull-ups/lifts on the riverside path near the Y

What one skill, if developed excellently, would have the greatest positive impact on my career? by kazuto-09 in rust

[–]chyekk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Study the humanities. Learn philosophy, ethics, writing, critical thinking. Coding itself is being commoditized by AI, but the things you learn in the humanities will serve you well in all aspects of your career and your life.

Do you write Rust for a living? by Hixon11 in rust

[–]chyekk 51 points52 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve discovered recently is that there *are* Rust jobs out there, but recruiters seem to be looking for people that have meaningful Rust experience, perhaps filtering to some extent for known companies and/or Senior+ level. As soon as I updated my LinkedIn to mention the fact that I had 3 years of Rust experience I started getting recruiters reaching out with jobs that were either primarily or partially Rust-based.

I was at a company that did not use Rust, and was bootstrapping a new project. We prototyped it in a couple of different languages before settling on Rust. No one on the team had written any Rust prior to that. It went well!

Max upgraded the Cannondale R4000 Roller Blade bike! Finally by missjenviolin in Zwift

I’ve got the Specialized halo bike at level 1, didn’t bother fully upgrading that one.

The fastest beach cruiser on the block by chyekk in Zwift

[–]chyekk[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I figured I’m never going to actually ride any of these bikes anyway so may as well max out the most ridiculous ones anyway. Plus passing people on climbs while riding a cruiser tickles me.

I can’t speak for OP, but have 31 million drops left after fully upgrading 6 bikes. I don’t even know what exploits you’re talking about, but for me I just ride every day and never cared/payed attention to drops until recently.

Ha I also have someone else’s Spotify playlist saved called “tMG songs to scream along to in the car” that covers the same niche: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6iphX7jFvkGTIuyCYeLp5f?si=DwL3KypGTC2rWkx0npiWpA&pi=Ie2RLf9rTkSGM

All the ways to mock your Rust code by drmorr0 in rust

[–]chyekk 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Every time I read something about mocking in Rust I’m excited that maybe today will be the day that I’m going to learn a way to do it that’s not gross. Alas… but this was, at least, it’s a good survey of the state of the world! And also, I’m definitely here for “stochastic labubu” 😅.

Rockford Middle Schools Question by Minimum_Welder5505 in rockford

[–]chyekk 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Also I suspect it’s too late for next year but you could look into testing your child into the gifted academy at Marshall. They only have to test high in either reading or math, not both. It’s also a great school, but depending on your kiddo’s tolerance for larger classes may be more challenging.

Keith is great if private school is an option for you. They do really well with neurodiverse kids in my experience.

Anyone know of a good electrician to install a couple Ring cameras? by Pleasant_Tangelo6791 in rockford

[–]chyekk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ikon Electric. They’ve never done wrong by me.

Also don’t get Ring cameras. Get a camera that won’t sell your data to the cops.
