Naming unconsistencies in Rust are one of the main reasons I always have to look in the documentation.
Why isn't it called push_slice ? Why ?

When you fight a bug with your own brain instead of just asking an AI, you're less competitive and you're falling out of the race.

Why is Putin so curiously silent about Trump's preparation to invade his friend and ally Venezuela? Perhaps this is why.

If you think war with Venezuela is simply about not releasing the Epstein Files you've missed 100 other things going on. War = no elections, no midterms = total autocracy.

The one year anniversary of Yoon's failed martial law takeover just passed and lots of untold stories came out proving that THE ONLY REASON KOREA IS STILL A FREE COUNTRY IS BECAUSE PEOPLE DISOBEYED ILLEGAL ORDERS.
The coup was over in hours because people said no.

If Russia wins in Ukraine, Europe will need to invest much more than 5% on defence.
And do it by the end of 2026, not by 2035.

Abandoning Ukraine would cost Europe $1.4–$1.8 trillion. Kyiv's victory is estimated $606–$972 billion, roughly half the price, according to Norwegian study

Today's clode (Claude's code) is high quality on surface but hides deep bugs in its verbosity.
An experienced coder wouldn't have made those errors but is unable to catch them when reviewing.
We're going to be drowned in huge unfixable code bases.

#rustlang hot take: We should rename .unwrap() to .or_panic(). (And .expect() to .or_panic_with().) "Unwrap" is a terrible name for the panicking function, especially since we also have things like .unwrap_or() and .unwrap_or_default() which never panic.

The anti-vaccine movement has the same talking points now as it did in the 1800’s. It’s always been a rejection of science, scientists, and progress, with a soupçon of paranoia.
Below is a slide for a talk I’m preparing that illustrates the identical strategies. I have more examples, too.

Accuse expert vaccine advisory committees of pro-vaccine "bias"

Claim that healthcare practitioners and scientists are only in it for the money, not because of scientific evidence

"Doctors are being paid to vaccinate, not to evaluate. They're pressured to follow the money, not the science".
