My electric teakettle has 0.5L marked on it as minimum and 1.7L as maximum. That makes sense. It also has 1.2L marked on it. What is special about 1.2L?

What if all these "orbiting data center" proposals are really elaborate tax and fraud havens? Who collects taxes on revenues that are collected 1000 miles above international waters? Who prosecutes Ponzi schemes that are perpetrated there?

I'm no papist but, between J. D. Vance and the Pope, I know who I'd pick when it comes to theology.

I saw an ad for a TV show called SKYKING and the phrase that leapt to mind was "No, you naughty boy, I've never skyked."

@olsonseank That's good to know. I guess I need to run clippy more often.
What kind of use does this kind of unused generic parameter have?

@olsonseank I can understand why `struct S` is an error. My question is more about why `fn f()` doesn't cause a warning, since most uses of it will. Even the following:
fn f() {}
fn g() { f(); }
produces a compiler warning saying that `T` can't be inferred, but no warning about the useless `T` parameter. It's occasionally taken me a minute to realize that the correct solution is to remove `T`, not to provide a type for it.
fn f() {}
fn g() { f(); }
produces a compiler warning saying that `T` can't be inferred, but no warning about the useless `T` parameter. It's occasionally taken me a minute to realize that the correct solution is to remove `T`, not to provide a type for it.

@thomashaeberlen Our machine's motherboard had 16 SIMM slots and by the end we had it fully populated with 16 1-MB SIMMs!

Linux is removing 486 support in the next version. My first Linux machine was a 486DX-33. That was so long ago (1995ish?).

@KitL For a year or so I subscribed to a service that mailed me snacks from a different country every month. It got monotonous because it turns out that the snacks you can mail internationally are pretty limited. Once I showed them to someone from that month's country and they said, "Yeah those are our snacks, if you shop for them in a gas station." I think that gas station groceries are a little like that.

Wow, 100 votes in less than a hour. I don't think I've posted anything before that got that many votes total. I guess peanut butter is a hot-button issue here.

@cstross@wandering.shop They have 48 months until 2030, so that goal means that each engineer on their team needs to convert almost 50 million lines of code between now and then. If he can hire 100 people, he can convert 5 billion lines of code. I wonder how many LOC there are at Microsoft.
