Hi! I'm moving here from twitter.

Here's the code in question. Strange, right?
fn breaks() -> impl Debug + ?Sized { 123 } // error[E0277]: the size for values of type `impl Debug + ?Sized` cannot be known at compilation time // --> src/lib.rs:3:16 // | // 3 | fn breaks() -> impl Debug + ?Sized { // | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ doesn't have a size known at compile-time // | // = help: the trait `Sized` is not implemented for `impl Debug + ?Sized` // = note: the return type of a function must have a statically known size async fn works() -> impl Debug + ?Sized { 123 } // no error!

It's Friday night, which means it's time to write some cursed Rust.

This time, I got rustc to accept some code that I think should have errored out!

if you notice quasisymmetric behavior in your mirror, your first priority is to remain calm. do not acknowledge the aberration in the presence of the mirror. do not allow your eyes to linger on the aberration. navigate to a mirror-free room before calling the hotline.

I had a friend who burned out from FB years ago when she was asking around for help with an undocumented GPU behavior and the developers at Nvidia referred her to herself. I heard she makes dresses now after divesting her shares.

In Super Mario Odyssey, kicking things is Mario's highest priority, overriding all other actions. If a kickable object, such as a football, is thrown at Mario while he is asleep, he will momentarily wake up just to kick it before instantly going back to sleep.

we are stupid lucky but it must be said a lot of that luck is self-made; unfortunately social capital and so on compounds in a very unfair way, so stuff we were lucky with 15 years ago continues to pay dividends, life is very unfair

sorry I gotta know every detail of what happened here. why were they messing with pow(). why did they not test pow() after messing with it. why did it take until an investigation by the osu team to figure out what was wrong. should the osu team be placed in charge of the windows runtime

if your program gets hit with a SIGDIVORCE it forks and each side of the fork receives a random selection of half of the previously open file descriptors and memory tables
