During this admin, no doubt about it. Previous ones at least had competent leadership that were hired for their expertise instead of loyalty, however.

They just have no legal recourse if the reward is not paid.

Even if they did, anyone desperate enough for the vague promise of money isn’t going to have enough of it to hire a lawyer.

Worst bossrun so far was probably the judge which was only like 2 screens when you think about it.

I found that run back to be infuriating at first, but it quickly stopped mattering once I realized that you don’t need to kill everything on the path over and are for the most part better off just running past the enemies.

Skills and traps don’t do enough damage to feel especially useful either.

There’s one trap that actually is pretty strong if you know how to abuse it.

I’m not going to spoil where or how to get it, but flying beetles that home in on the enemy and repeatedly bump into it to deal damage can be pretty busted… especially when they still attack during phase change animations that stop the player from moving.

The goal of the healthcare system should be to treat people.

The goal of a good healthcare system is to treat people. The goal of ours is to treat the rich to another yacht. Healthcare providers bill far above cost for profit, knowing that either the insurance or the patient will have no choice but to eat the cost. Insurance providers use high healthcare costs to justify high policy prices and then do unethical shit to avoid paying out.

The hospitals make money. The insurance company makes money. The shareholders and corporate owners make money. The people needing healthcare get screwed.

The system is, unfortunately, working as intended for those who benefit from it being the way it is.

there’s a fork of Termux that puts Nix in a user space sandbox

You’re going to mention this exists but not say what it is? My disappointment is immeasurable!

when you do have big problems its still kind of annoying

Or small problems. Very annoying small problems. Like GTK 4 windows freezing when you try to close them.

Or if you decided to take too long for your morning coffee break. Or if the planets enter retrograde. Or when it’s the 12th millisecond past every third minute since the creation of the universe.

Sure, but knowing ICE took your kid doesn’t really do much to help get them back.

ICE is now an extrajudicial secret police with even less oversight than the actual police. Even if someone knows ICE kidnapped their relative, nobody in the current administration is going to hold them accountable if they decide to lie and say “no we didn’t”. It took months to get back Abrego Garcia, and that was with the public eye on the situation and the entire Democratic Party pressuring them. For every one Abrego Garcia, there are thousands of people who are still unjustly locked up in a concentration camp.

A bit of a cynical take, but it wouldn’t surprise me if ICE started throwing away shoes and phones onto the roadside.

One option is to use embedded structs:

type UnmarshalStruct struct {
    Foo string
}

type MarshalStruct struct {
    UnmarshalStruct
    FieldYouDontWantUnmarshaled string
}

When marshaling, you would marshal MarshalStruct. Because UnmarshalStruct is embedded, json.Marshal automatically includes all the fields from UnmarshalStruct.

When unmarshaling, you would unmarshal UnmarshalStruct and then create a new MarshalStruct like this:

var unmarshaled UnmarshalStruct
err := json.Unmarshal(&unmarshaled)
if err != nil {
    panic(err)
}

return MarshalStruct {
    UnmarshalStruct: unmarshaled
}

Although, if I may ask: why do you not want a field to be unmarshaled? You could always just set it back to the zero value after unmarshaling, which is a lot easier of a solution.

At least in the US, it’s full of regulatory red tape that was designed to pull up the ladder behind the current large payment processors.

Even Musk and his ample bribe money, under the most corrupt administration in decades, hasn’t managed to get full approval for his “X Twitter Money” payment service.

Or maybe a Phoronix commenter?

Are you saying you don’t use The Google anymore? But how do you find all of your baking recipes?

Who’s going to win?

SELinux+Seccomp+Containers…
Or the sysadmin with sudo and chmod.

Neither! It’s whichever script kiddie gets lucky first.

one more took some significant steps in that direction earlier this year.

One? Last I checked, both weather and mail are both on their way to privatization.

It’s not WeChat, it’s ШеСнат. That’s an entire alphabet of differences! /s

Look, I’m not saying the wheel is wrong. It rotates, but what if two people try to turn the wheel at the same time, in opposite directions?

What if—instead of risking misuse of the wheel—we have a my_wheel::Wheel, which only one person can rotate at any given time? The multiverse could enforce this safety at compile time by making it impossible for there to exist a universe where two people both think they own the right to rotate the wheel. In fact, it could even make it impossible for me to lend out the wheel to more than one person at a time.

And, maybe… we could make the wheel even better. Cars rest on top of wheels, sure. But what if I wanted to make a car that rests on top of other cars? If we rotate the super-car’s wheels, we don’t want to make the sub-cars flap around—we want the sub-car wheels to rotate. It would be more future-proof to make a Wheel trait, then to make RubberTyre implement Wheel. Then, if we ever needed to make cars into wheels, we could have them also implement Wheel—but delegate the responsibility of rotating to their own wheels.

In fact, we should make it into a whole library. Our other projects could need wheels. Mr. Mittens might need them eventually!
