Stupidity transcends politics

From what I’ve heard, it wasn’t released, they were uploaded and it’s url kept private. Imo they probably did that to send it to a few highly ranked people so they could check if they agreed with the censorship before releasing them. However, the URL for those to-be-released files were easily guessed based on the pattern of the previously already public ones.

I suppose you could also include a sliver of the cost of the show’s production.

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.
