looks like the latest build of windows 11 shipped with a broken version of pow() that says (-1)² = -1:

Something the Skrmetti decision drives home: "Puberty blockers" should be abandoned as a goal; the goal should be HRT for any minor that wants it; puberty blockers should be a tool for minors who choose themselves they need more time to decide and *nothing else*.

Rest in peace to netdata, among my most beloved tools, victim of enshittification.
It was, technically speaking, a general-purpose time-series database for Linux, but what mattered was the built-in dashboard UI.

Was there a time in the past where rustc would always error out and tell you to add lifetimes if there wasn't a single unambiguously-correct elision?

Everyone always says that 8==D, however US-ASCII, and thus UTF-8, define 0x44==D, so 8!=D. This common oversight appears to come from a mistaken addition of the two hexadecimal digits
