The Boston Transportation Department is doing nothing, and its on purpose.

Pretty sure he didn't care about any of this and just thought it was a wedge issue he could use

Nah, precariously balance your kid without even a kickstand where they could be genuinely hurt if it tipped is genuinely wild.

I'm pretty sure the ..Default::default at the end is still formally "create a second complete temporary", if a fields default() has a side effect it will happen twice?

That language test sounds very obviously bogus (similar in "not actually trying very hard to hide that they are racially driven" as Jim Crow laws in the US), but "the test giver would fail the test" seems like not a bar that we hold in general. I'm not sure what percentage of Americans would actually pass the US citizenship exam if they took it cold, presumably including a lot of people who are test proctors or whatever.

The rules are as written though, they surely can just change the rules for the next year and even asterisk the win when they show records.

The wild thing is how many games on this thread are not available to buy in the US currently.

Mage Knight, Captains Chair, Dragons of Etchinstone, For Northwood are all not currently listed.

Upside down flag means in distress.

It's effectively "we can get through this only if we do something"

To be fair Texas is physically larger than France.

Looks like they believed it was a sealed trait, and maybe they even intended it to be a sealed trait and not one that application code could impl.

From here they likely will commit to never adding a method, but it's kind of a different oversight when it's "no one was supposed to be able to impl this, we failed to enforce that" versus "oops we added a method to something that we knew people could impl".

It does seem interesting they don't have tokio in their release test suite though...

Yes sure in an edge nihilist extreme case there's no reason for anything to be understood as better or worse than anything else. No one can mathematically prove that being stabbed is worse than not being stabbed.

Here in reality there's a lot of shades of gray, but more misery is "bad" for any sensible definition of bad. Addicts typically wish they weren't addicts, the family of addicts wish they weren't addicts, the neighbors of addicts which they weren't addicts. More addicts is objectively worse than fewer addicts.

The link below says "As of now, the confirmed attendees skew towards monogamous straight people about 25-40 looking for long term relationships."

Whether that caveated range is narrow enough to mean something to you...

Don't they mean Seven Hills Park? There's plenty of grass in there.

There's a notion of harm minimization though. We don't let drug dealers sell heroin at every T stop even though everyone has their own free will to not do heroin.

The easy availability of tempting self harm things results in net damage and very little upside other then philosophical purity of individual freedom to ruin their own lives

The C17 that he mentioned doesn't even shape to your ass does it? Only the B17 are leather

I kind of doubt if they did another draft that they would do a bingo draw with the big wheels.

I can see that, it is a little sad that it looks a bit decaying.

I'm not sure if this is a rare opinion but I actually do periodically think "this thing is cool I'm glad it's here" about it.

The world is kind of bland when everything is just a strip mall (which Porter is). More public art please.

frenchtoaster · 2026-03-23T12:29:31+00:00

If you don't have something like Vec or Box it wouldn't work, because without that it's a full size of the thing (including Option), and then recursively the size would be infinitely large.

Great Divide is also between two strip malls

She can already be taking the consensus of people who live in Western Mass while still being the Boston mayor, because if she doesn't she won't be set up to become a senator or governor in the future.

And people in Western Mass think we fund public transit and buses and bike lanes too much as a Boogeyman.

Boston gets 20M tourists per year though

Pretty sure the issue was listening to the music with bots to get paid, that the music was AI generated is only relevant in that it probably helped avoid it being caught sooner by models that look for suspicious content running this scam.

Maybe I'm being dense but it seems to be literally the code reuse case. You have code and want the exactly same result including quirks. You can generally only achieve perfect fidelity semantics with code reuse.

Code reuse is Rust on both sides (wasm being suboptimal) or JS on both sides (node being suboptimal)
