Interesting stuff, thanks for writing it up.

I did know that US codes weren't standardised, partially because the video covers it - perhaps I should have phrased it as "a police code" to be more technically correct. Edit: or bothered to check the video so could have written "Philadelphia police code" - but then I would have missed out on your reply.

DFRA

That doesn't work, though.

For a recursive acronym, you want something like ADFRA Didn't Forget Recursive Acronyms.

It's a subtle difference between that and path::exists().

  • path::exists() == false might just mean you can't use it (if path::exists() cannot access a file due to e.g. permissions, it'll return false)
  • fs::exists() == Ok(false) means it's definitely not there (permissions error will cause an Err to be returned)

News was reporting yesterday that there was an arrest warrant out for Volodymyr Z in Poland but that he just popped over the border back to Ukraine.

I use that one on Android, since I have a OLED screen and it seems to do wonders for my battery life.

I like that that article has as one of its first sections "How do you donate your body to science?".

I guess it's the King's English now. I'm always careful to avoid spelling things the US way, because as a programmer there's some things (yup, like color) that I type more often in the US version than international English and muscle memory's a sticky bugger.

That's a horrifically confusing garden-path title. So bad it's good; like a clickbait puzzle where you have to read the article to understand how to parse it.

~~I can't see this "news" reported anywhere else and The Sun is notorious for making stuff up. Gonna file this in the ignore bin.~~

edit 2: Mea culpa, I don't visit rags like The Sun but if I had read this article I'd have seen that they do cite their (credible) source.

Edit: I'm surprised MBFC even gives it as much as "mixed", but it does mention this:

The Sun is a daily tabloid newspaper published in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In surveys, The Sun is considered the Least Trusted UK news outlet.

PLA's a bio-plastic that, while technically biodegradable, will only break down under very specific industrial composting conditions - we're talking heat above 55-70°C, and in the presence of microorganisms. It's a lot better than fossil-fuel plastics, but it's still not great.
