That doesn’t look like a particularly difficult challenge? Like, it’s just an implementation game, move returns a data type that you write yourself

Edit: I suppose there’s life in that kind of ambiguous variation though

This is excellent content

Indeed I am. Forgot the name, lol, not worked with rust for a few months 😅

Type guards, then :) very cool, much compiler power, love it

Rust isn’t really a language that lends itself to terse point-free functional idioms… The sort of examples I might want to share would probably require a bit more context, certainly more code. Like I think type guards and arena allocation are cool and useful tricks but I don’t think I could write a neat little example showing or motivating either

I’m a simple man. I see midnight commander, I think ‘dang, I need to use it more, stop calling me out’

But how do you write your awk script?

I’m not sure how subtle discworld really is 🤣

Everyone always dunkin’ on Perl, but I can’t even tell you how often it’s been the best tool for the job. Like, at least 3

If you can, just use Perl. Probably installed on your systems, even the ones without python.

Many years ago, my aunt bought an old, terribly specced laptop and couldn’t get Windows to run on it. I installed Ubuntu and everything was fine - she could check her email and browse toxic conspiracy theories on Facebook and all was good with the world.

Two years later when visiting I got my first support request - would I mind showing her how to print something? No problem, but would you mind showing me what you were trying? She was selecting menu items to send to a virtual printer, not the one on the network. I show her the correct printer to send to and the thing prints. Easy. Out of curiosity, I check the outbox queue for the virtual printer. Over a hundred documents, going back two years.

For two years she’d been unable to print, and every single time she’d ever attempted to print something she’d followed the exact same steps that didn’t work, and just accepted that this was the way things were.

SMH.

Well yeah because booting into Linux is so much faster

There are two difficult problems in computer science. Naming things, and pairing with Bluetooth speakers.

I’ve had my joycons for 5 years and they still work fine. Tbh I mostly use it as a handheld and probably only play about 100 hours per year, but I think the switch is pretty neat

It’s fine as long as you never connect different controllers to the same device. Then it becomes a nightmare

Astroprojection is a dying art and I applaud your service

Hah. I’m sure once I read the rest of the responses I’ll see the observation that 1 is just a slow route to 2
