Firefox does seem to be clearing out their old bugs (another example is MKV support) but perhaps it's buses arriving together and not due to some policy.

Recently while troubleshooting I've found a lot of deleted comments with dozens of people saying thanks, often for years afterwards. Reddit annoyed their most valuable posters and we're all paying for it.

I thought he'd cloned them when I was reading, but you're right, they're all different.

100% the second one. It's the idiomatic way to do this in Rust, and it leaves you with an immutable object.

I personally like to move the short declarations together (i.e. body down with language_id (or both at the top)) but that's a minor quibble.

Only if enough people do it. Then again, loads scrapers outside of AI already pretend to be normal browsers.

I assume you're in the US? Are you saying your iPhone customers were so prejudiced against green messages that they'd go with a different supplier/partner/whatever? Was it the friction of not having all the messaging features, or just that they thought all serious businesspeople used iPhones?

I think a lot of sci-fi is a warning, e.g. almost every distopian setting - I don't think that's hopeful, unless you argue that we're sensible enough to heed said warnings.

Lisp variants like Clojure are being used for new projects (e.g. Logseq) but I'd be surprised to hear of anyone choosing COBOL for a greenfield project.

For such an influential letter, I don't find his arguement all that compelling. I agree that not using go to will often lead to better structured (and more maintainable) programs, but I don't find his metric of "indexable process progress" to satisfyingly explain why that is.

Perhaps it's because at that time people would be running the programs in their heads before submitting them for processing, so they tended to use more of a computer scientist mindset - whereas now we're more likely to use test cases to convince ourselves that code is correct.

I feel a company that big would write a more competent bot, but I also wouldn't be too astonished.

It starts out as ridiculous as you'd expect from the Onion, but it's a serious legal filing as a amicus curiae ("friend of the court" - a person or group who's not a party to the case but is interested and wants to give advice).
