Damn, how have I not heard of this before? I always thought it got dumped into landfills and eventually degraded to tiny particles. If it's released so directly, it feels a lot more viable to reduce exposure by avoiding plastics...

Rust does an interesting thing in this regard. It does still have == for checking if two values are equal, but well, it actually doesn't have a traditional assignment operator. Instead, it has a unification operator, which programmers usually call "pattern matching".
And then you can use pattern matching for what's effectively an assignment and to some degree also for equivalence comparison.
See a few examples here: https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=1268682eb8642af925db9a499a6d587a
Ah, "pop like popcorn" was maybe a bit misleading. I mainly meant that it jumped out of the pot violently. It didn't turn inside-out like maize popcorn does.
So, the taste was essentially unaltered. The seed had burst open, though, so maybe that would help, if you wanted to make a sauce more spicy.
Did you know that when you fry mustard seeds, they pop like popcorn?
Well, I didn't, so I hadn't put a lid on.
I was still finding the little fuckers several months after the incident, in all kinds of corners of my kitchen.
For a project called "Potato Peeler", I'll put it into a structure like this:
~/Projects/Tools/Potato-Peeler/potato-peeler/
Tools/ is just a rough category. Other categories are, for example, Games/ and Music/, because I also do gamedev and composing occasionally.
Then the capitalized Potato-Peeler/ folder, that's for me to drop in all kinds of project-related files, which I don't want to check into the repo.
And the lower-case potato-peeler/ folder is the repo then. Seeing other people's structures, maybe I'll rename that folder to repo/, and if I have multiple relevant repos for the Project, then make it repo-something.
I also have a folder like ~/Projects/Tools/zzz/ where I'll move dormant projects. The "zzz" sorts nicely to the bottom of the list.
Is "code", "designs" and "wiki" here just some example files in the repo or are those sub-folders, and you only have the repo underneath code?
I mean, yeah, but that difference is quite crucial.
People have always wanted to be the top search result without putting effort in, because that brings in ad money.
But without putting effort in, their articles were generally short, had typoes, and there were relatively few such articles.
Now, LLMs allow these same people to pump out hundredfold as much gargage, consisting of lengthy articles in many languages. And because LLMs are specifically trained to produce texts that are human-like, it's difficult for search engines to filter out these bad quality results.
I think, the main problem is that "X" doesn't look like a name.
When someone's not starkly aware of the platform being called that, they might think the author typoed.
Or is using it like the idiom "they posted it to X, Y and Z" (so just a nondescript set of platforms).
Or genuinely means the letter X and that just doesn't make sense in the context presented.
"X, formerly Twitter" is just a better name than "X", because it is recognizable.
The guy is famous for raping a pornstar while married. It would certainly be easy to not do such a thing and then tell people you're pious. But the guy is practically screaming at his followers that he's satan himself and they still want to believe the lie...
If anyone else was going to suggest decompiling, ^this is a decompiler.
Oh damn, in German, "Vati" is an affectionate form like "daddy", except it's the word stem of "father" ("Vater").
And wouldn't you know it, Christians also use "Vater" to refer to priests, the pope and their god.
I'd say, I'm primarily a very low volume gamer, so I don't play a lot of games, and if I do, I don't play them for long. And that certainly makes it easy to look at the news of a game releasing and to think, yeah, that's probably neat, but if I'm buying another game then it'd be Undertale or Baba Is You or such, and it definitely doesn't look as neat as those...
