Aren't advertising requirements that constrain subject matter effectively a mechanism for banning content?

One of the reasons given for rejection was:

Referencing topics such as: Paedophiles, Rapists, Murderers, Enemies of the state, Journalists, Refugees, Controversial opinions, People’s bedrooms, Police officers, Children’s headsets … is inappropriate and irrelevant to the average consumer’s experience with a VPN.

That doesn't seem to me like the sort of criteria that a rule-enforcement agency should be using for determining whether something should air. (For what it's worth, refusing to air this in the US would absolutely be considered a freedom of speech issue.)

I think you're misunderstanding that paragraph. It's specifically explaining how LLMs are not like humans, and one way is that you can't "nurture growth" in them the way you can for a human. That's not analogous to refining your nvim config and habits.

Partly because it's from 2014, so the modern static typing renaissance was barely starting (TypeScript was only two years old; Rust hadn't hit 1.0; Swift was mere months old). And partly because true evidence-based software research is very difficult (how can you possibly measure the impact of a programming language on a large-scale project without having different teams write the same project in different languages?) and it's rarely even attempted.

I read "happy ___ starts with ___" as stating that happiness was the eventual result of a process that started with ___.

The reason C becomes relevant to Python users isn't typically because the interpreter is written in C, but because so many important libraries (especially numpy) are implemented in C.

He spent four years as the project maintainer. That's hardly "flouncing off."

How does the const { None } example type-inference work? The size of the option type can't be known without knowing the type of the Somevariant.

Edit: aha, it doesn't work as-is. It needs to infer the type of elements of foo from usage. https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&gist=05a95c592626b6935ae812527aa6bbc6

How so? This exploit requires running a shell command in a way that permits an attacker to control the arguments provided. That doesn't seem like it would be particularly common in build scripts.

I'm pretty sure that when programmers and other techies call themselves "hackers", they don't mean in the security-breaching sense. It means that you can "hack together" something.

...why not both? An auto-formatter for personal use, a linter for CI checks on PRs.

What do you mean, "breaking"? This isn't a new encoding scheme, it's an informational page showing ASCII encoding.
