You can also use let else.

let (Some(count\_str), Some(item)) = (it.next(), it.next()) else {
    panic!("Can't segment count item pair: '{s}'");
};

But really it’s the exact same as other languages, it just forces you to handle it better. C-based languages will return 0/null/-1 and you’ll have to check all 3 of those because they might not mean the same thing. How is that better?

The vast majority of mongols are in china, not mongolia.

I suppose it could be considered a trade-off? There’s the obvious advantages of longevity and possible size(?), it van still be viable in some niche uses where that matters. Github’s code vault from a while back could have benefited from that.

This is explicitly stated to be for cold storage though. It doesn’t have to be fast at all. And they’re supposedly aiming for 500mbps soon.

Did you read the article? 30mbps is faster than a lot of people’s internets. It’s not fast, but for a prototype, it’s not bad.

In theory there aren’t, but at the top of basically all esports and even games like chess, there are no women. Why is that? Are men more competitive?

“pika” on its own is a sudden flash of light. This onomatopeia is very old (edo era old). What kind of light flashes do you think you’d find 400 years ago? There was pretty much just lightning. Not to be confused with the repeated “pika pika” which like the other commenter said indicates more of a glimmer or shiny and is way more common today.

That’s… what I said?

Actually it comes from pika(-tto), the onomatopoeia for a lightning strike.

we contact the parents, make sure they're compatible politically, theologogically

This is insane. You call that kid’s mom to ask who she votes for and what name she uses for god, and if it doesn’t match yours, kids can’t have fun?

DDG also censors results indirectly since they use bing, which microsoft controls.

But really it’s a human problem. As long as humans get power, they will misuse it. Perhaps not all, but some will.
