You can just pinch the end of a banana to start peeling it. The effort required is far less than trying to overcome the ripping force of the stem.

As someone who learned a lot from C++ and that now loves Rust, this annoys me.

I'm sure Chuck Schumer will get to the bottom of this after he finishes his book tour on antisemitism in America while being completely tone-deaf on the absolute disdain many of us have for our tax dollars supporting a genocide in the 21st century.

I will never buy another Samsung phone or tablet. I was done the moment I started getting notification ads from the Samsung store that I cannot disable.

Your team needs to have a coding standards meeting where you can describe the pros and cons of each approach. You guys shouldn't be wasting time during PR reviews on the same argument. When that happens to me, it just feels like such a waste of time.

I've had mine on vibrate for years. Texting doesn't trigger it, only calls. It's been great. I look at my phone only when I'm ready to look at it.

When I learned Python I thought that not having a statically typed language was the way to go, but then it just became an issue when I was trying to ensure that everything was at least something like what I was expecting. Going back to statically typed languages even harder with Rust has been a dream. I love it.

Being able to take out the battery so that I can swap it with a pre-charged one. Those were great times. Then you can just throw the nearly-dead one on the charger.

This is identical to having the super power of being able to restart your phone to get a full battery charge.

I had a similar experience with square roots, writing both the positive and negative answers. It's wild for a teacher to actively reject correct answers because "that's not what we learned today" (the negative answers, in my case).

This was a great blog post. I love Rust and Bevy, but I can definitely see why you made the switch.

The primary issue with your decision to use Rust/Bevy, for me, was that you were taking on the task of getting others to work in a difficult language for novice developers. I would never suggest Rust as someone's first language, coupling that with a regularly-changing library like Bevy.

I would love to know what the pros and cons were between Unity and Godot. If you were going to switch to C# anyway, Godot seems like the next logic choice to me, so I'm curious about what your team's evaluation was for that engine.

I love how the solution didn't involve changing the prefix to "mcaffee_". Now users don't know who to blame. Great. That's so nice of them.

Now I use lowercase and underscores everywhere.

For me it all depends on how often a project changes. If it's constantly in flux, I don't bother remembering any of it because I might not be the last one who touched it. The more you try to remember everything, the more wrong you become due to the successive work of your coworkers.

This was a good blog post. I particularly appreciated the statement about the validate and parse function comparison: "Both of these functions check the same thing, but parseNonEmpty gives the caller access to the information it learned, while validateNonEmpty just throws it away."

I don't know how to get everyone I know to really understand this. Every time I bring it up in conversation, the other person just puts their hands up and explains that they're powerless to address it, so it's not even worth talking about. I don't know how to respond to the apathy.

I wish I could experience that. I wish our sci-fi fairytales of space travel were happening now. Alas, I must simply exist in a life lived better than a king of old, living longer than our ancestors, with food untasted by the billions before us, and all while I fly around in space within Eve Online while watching Star Trek. Life is great, but it's so easy to want it to be just that much better.

It's surprising how useful ChatGpt is in these situations. Honestly, it's a great general purpose search engine.

I don't know how some people find the time to do anything but help take care of mom and the baby. I was either sleeping or helping while trying to find time for food.

Neovim. I tried to use it a year ago, but I felt like I was fighting it every time I just wanted to make progress on my project. VSCode doesn't get in my way. I'm going to give it another shot in a few years.

I hate that it came to this, after so many Rust devs left, but all I can say is "Good."
