Similar experience here. Some companies just want to pin a scapegoat should they be held liable. Others are just assholes from top to bottom.
You did your due diligence. You almost got burned. Decide for yourself if it’s worth it next time. Not every act in good faith receives a good response.
I’m all for jumping ship on the grounds of this being an overreach. However there just aren’t any good alternatives to Discord which would entice the general public from following suit.
Discord has the advantage of being a very frictionless user experience. You make one account and can join whatever servers you want thanks to its centralized design. It has file sharing, gif and video support, voice channels, screen sharing, API support with websocket events, and a hefty amount of bots to ease management.
There are other solutions but they don't cover the same amount of features. Some focus on voice, some focus on chat, and some try to do as much but the experience isn’t quite robust. It’ll be like Reddit users and the API fiasco that people thought would be its downfall: the activists will leave but the general community won’t care enough, or aren’t tech-savvy enough, to be bothered.
Judge Fred Biery was appointed by Clinton and actually blocked the 2025 state law that would otherwise have required displaying the 10 Commandments in public classrooms.
I see this as him pointing out to Trump’s supporters that the actions of this administration are not only inhumane but run contrary to core Christian teachings. If the “pro-Christian” administration isn’t being very Christian then call out their hypocrisy.
Medical experts tell you anything about how to take your meds
People with ADHD are going to read the super-long pamphlet of info that the pharmacy often prints out and includes with the medication
To date I’ve encountered around three dozen people on ADHD meds (coworkers and friends) who take or have taken their medication with caffeine and were never told not to. Those no longer taking them together learned the hard way after their hearts almost jumped out of their chests. This is anecdotal evidence; your experiences may vary.
Research appears to vary wildly regarding: how many people actually read the pamphlets; and how much of the pamphlet is read on average by those who do read it. Depending on the layout of this information, the disclaimers on what not to do when taking the meds may not even be reached. Speed readers and inattentive types probably don’t even register or see those items. I’d even bet that most ADHD medication users forget that the pamphlets exist!
The last two points are the kind of design advice I need to see. I’m probably so used to the C/C++ concept of passing by reference to prevent copies of complex data being generated that I forget how Rust’s definition of a reference is different.
I think they do a good job of pointing out “this is a behavior/feature of Rust you need to understand.” However they can send you down the wrong path of correction.
The compiler error mentioning static lifetime specifiers of &str demonstrates both. It indicates to the developer that ownership and scopes will play a significant role when defining and accessing data. The error though will guide them towards researching how to define static lifetimes and possibly believe that they will need to set this in their functions and structs. Each time you look at questions about this error in places like Stack Overflow with example code you’ll find suggested solutions explaining that a manually-defined static lifetime isn’t necessary to resolve the problem.
This is my experience every time I return to learning rust. I’m guessing that if I used it more often than once a quarter with hobby projects I’d stop falling into the same traps.
I don’t disagree that bombing Iran puts us at risk of starting a war we don’t want to be involved in. However I think the public is too split on the matter to put majority support behind impeachment.
Conservative circles themselves appear divided with some saying the display of force was necessary and avoided direct conflict (minimizing operational costs), some saying the President is authorized to conduct these actions under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, and some voicing dissent or disapproval altogether of this action.
The War Powers Resolution will probably be the loophole that conservative outlets use to claim that Trump has done nothing wrong. I don’t know if there’s been an exercise of this authority without congressional approval that has lead to the targeted country declaring war as a result. If this were to happen, maybe there will be clear grounds to impeach, but I don’t think the public will display a majority support for it to happen.
