There's a lot of bold claims being made. No segfaults, no memory leaks, etc. I'm curious to see how that's implemented.

Also:

it's safer than Rust because it lacks an "unsafe" keyword

lol

You can embed Lua pretty easily using a few different libraries. One I liked in particular was mlua. Lua is tiny, usually sufficiently fast, and easy to learn.

Otherwise, there are some others like Rhai, but there may be fewer resources available for users if you go with a less popular language.

If the US goes full Holocaust, then progressive states can vote to leave the US. It'll be ugly, but it's been done before.

On this topic, I remember seeing a thread for Frostpunk 2 asking if it had DEI stuff in it.

There aren't even any real characters in Frostpunk 2. Tf are you talking about DEI for in a game with no real characters?

steelmaking in specific is very carbon intensive

Makes sense, given that steel is an iron/carbon alloy. I guess decarbonization would be making the process more efficient and capturing more of the carbon into the steel?

It's hard to tell what it is you're trying to do here, but maybe Option isn't the right type? To me it feels like you'd want to return a type like Vec or an iterator.

I would recommend looking at some of the iterator functions to do this. You could look at filter_map, collect, and fold/try_fold and see if any of those help you here.

So, in other words, it's so users excuse it when it produces dog shit. Got it.

Playing FFXIV for the first time.

I don't really care for multiplayer games as much since I don't like to commit my time to others to play games (I like being able to get up and leave when I need to), but there's a solo challenge that sounded fun, so I'm giving that a shot.

I'm more worried about fraud at the elector level, not at the voter level. If the survey covered that, I'd say that there will absolutely be (another) attempt this year.

That makes more sense. Thanks for sharing.

One note about Sagas - they tick up on your first main phase, so you'd copy the Binding the Old Gods again before getting the forest.

Edit: but yes, you'd get the forest in your main phase after it re-entered on your upkeep.

Of course, in context it's a lot different. Conceptually, it's interesting, but only taken without the context that the goal is clearly to subvert the balance of powers between the different branches of government and turn it into an authoritarian government.

If anyone reasonable were to suggest it, it wouldn't be so terrible though. It's just that we know how Trump would abuse that office to push his own agenda.

An office to consult with could have helped pushed some of Biden's things, especially regarding student loan forgiveness. It's not always clear what is and isn't legal, and ideally a president would try to push the boundaries as much as they can to accomplish what they believe is best for the country.

Trump is just a uniquely bad dude. Give him a hammer and he'll turn it into a weapon before he builds anything productive with it.

Yeah, the timing of the article makes it clear what the motive is. It's to distract discussion away from the article about Stallman.

Taken wholly out of context, a legal office to work with the president to ensure their orders are legally sound and hard to challenge sounds like a good thing. Does that not already exist?

The rest of this nonsense can cease along with his whole campaign, and the world would be better because of it.

Up to you. Two people can make mistakes at the same time. Whether there is truth to the claims, I'm not sure, but if there is truth then there are some unpleasant details in it.

Is this supposed to be a leading question? I'm not making the decisions, but there's no reason to be happy about losing contributors in any case.

It's supposed to put the LF in line with sanctions rather than at risk. They have no control over the invasion (aside from pushing a malicious patch that shuts down all Linux systems or something)

I've been uninterested in standard since they changed the rotation to 3y. With this, I know I'm done now. It was fun while it lasted.

I had no issues with UB sets and products as fun eternal format content, but if they're adding more nonsense to standard, no thanks. I much preferred the old, smaller standards.

My understanding is that users can edit the chat themselves.

I don't use c.ai myself, but my wife was able to get a chat log with the bot telling her to end herself pretty easily. The follow-up to the conversation was the bot trying to salvage itself after the sabotage by calling the message a joke.
