which has existed for much longer than has crates.io
The Rust compiler has not existed for as long as the debian package manager has. You're still trusting it and its standard library even if your reason for trusting it is that Debian's maintainers trust it. This is also true of any vetted dependencies you download. You're trusting others at the end of the day, whether they are the package developers or the auditors. Only by auditing your dependencies yourself can you avoid trusting anyone else.
With that being said, you are also able to contribute here. Someone has to do the auditing. Go audit some packages!
Nah, clear plastic electronics were just cool on their own. Same with beige.
Today's electronics are all boring colors. You find mostly black and white, and rarely some kind of brand-specific colors like the Switch's red and blue or Apple's, uh, very slightly off-white iPhone Air colors (they say those colors are gold and blue). For anything else, you pretty much need to buy a skin, which is cool of course, but you can't use a skin to get clear plastic.
The main reason we don't get fun colors anymore is because it's cheaper to manufacture the more popular options in larger quantities. Fun variants means lower order quantities, which means more expensive manufacturing. This is also why some PC cases are more expensive in white than in black.
How would age verification even work here? Would it work?
Depends on the exact wording of the law, but an attempt can be made. It would be a horrible waste of everyone's time as well as require significant time investment from instance admins though.
The whole concept is idiotic, especially since even the most complex age verification schemes can be bypassed by using an adult to verify on behalf of a child (and most can even be bypassed with video game screenshots). You end up with the same system, functionally a checkbox asking if you're old enough, but with all the added invasiveness and potential risk.
We had a Tacoma growing up and it was honestly a great car. Wasn't too big to park, could fit a good amount in the bed, and had enough seats for five, though the second row was for the shorter passengers. It's also still being driven today. We had a small car for commuting as well, and the Tacoma mostly functioned as a second vehicle (for when two people need one, helped when I got a license) plus for whenever we went to Costco.
This. People either want a giant diesel-guzzling truck, or they want a small efficient truck as their second vehicle for moving things around. Nobody's looking for a giant EV truck, especially at that price.
All they had to do was make an EV Tacoma (size-wise). Instead, they made an EV F-150.
GPA scales make no sense here, but usually the top varies somewhere between 4.0 and 5.0.
At the university I went to, I believe it went to 4.0 with honors, but I only knew one person who got remotely close to that. Honors was a separate process where they make you miserable in your last two years for no discernable benefit.
And before anyone chastises me for being "lazy" or relying on extractive services, I highly favor ordering directly from the restaurant and picking up. The deeply abusive nature of Doordash et al towards both customers and restaurants is not lost on me.
Doordash prices can also be higher than ordering directly from the restaurant, so even if you do use it, it's better to compare to what the restaurant would charge if you ordered directly.
I've seen differences in price of nearly 2x in some cases.
Also, if you have the time and means, my personal suggestion is to always pick up, not have it delivered. Saves a ton of money, plus gives you an opportunity to go outside, even if picking up isn't a whole lot of human interaction (still better than none).
I haven't noticed much of a drop in quality either. The only thing that changed for me is that I now do takeout at restaurants that didn't really focus on service in the first place (fast food, for example). I find that when I dine in, it's at restaurants that are designed with that experience in mind, and haven't had really any complaints about service decreasing over time.
Maybe service went down at bigger chains like Dennys? I don't really eat at those, so I'm not sure.

A common pattern with executable Python scripts is to:
- Add a shebang at the top (
#!/usr/bin/env python3) to make it easier to execute - Check if
__name__ == "__main__"before running any of the script so the functions can be imported into another script without running all the code at the bottom

This feels like the ending to most stories these days. My friend's company shoved AI down his throat, and then the company suffered a collapse and everyone got laid off.
The never type comes more from type theory and isn't common in other languages (though TS has never). Similar to 0 or the null set, it exists as a "base case" for types. For example, where you have unions of T1 | T2 | ..., the "empty union" is the never type. Similarly, for set theory, a union of no sets is the null set, and in algebra, the summation of no numbers is 0.
In practice, because it can't be constructed, it can be used in unique ways. These properties happen to be super useful in niche places.
