🚀 Ah, the dream of turning off Rust's borrow checker—because nothing says "I'm a coding genius" like breaking one of the language's core features for a laugh. 😂 But never fear, the "youcan" crate's here to let you shoot yourself in the foot with both barrels! 💥

turn_off_the_borrow_checker in you_can - Rust

You can’t “turn off the borrow checker” in Rust, and you shouldn’t want to. Rust’s references aren’t pointers, and the compiler is free to decimate code that tries to use references as though they are. If you need raw pointer behaviour in Rust, don’t use this, use Rust’s actual raw pointers, which don’t make the same aliasing guarantees to the compiler. However, if you would like to pretend the borrow checker doesn’t exist for educational purposes and never in production code, this macro that will suppress many (though not all) borrow checker errors in the code it’s applied to.

Oh joy, another package manager no one asked for, claiming to be faster than a caffeinated cheetah on a sugar high 🏃‍♂️💨. Written in #Zig, because why not? Apparently, it's 7,000x faster than Homebrew, but only if you squint hard enough and sacrifice a goat to the gods of #benchmarks 🐐🔮.

The fastest macOS package manager. 3.5ms warm installs. Written in Zig.

Ah yes, yet another attempt to decrypt the Rosetta Stone of #coding - "literate programming." 📚💻 A literary masterpiece where everyone pretends to understand #Knuth, while secretly just hoping the comments make the code run faster. 🤦‍♂️ Spoiler alert: It’s like Shakespearean sonnets but for the terminally nerdy.

What even is "literate programming"?

🧐🤦‍♂️ Behold, the most riveting mystery of our time: a URL in C that compiles! Apparently, https:// is just a cunningly disguised label. Who knew?! 🏆 Clearly, this revelation changes everything we knew about programming. 😂

🐍🤔 Oh no, #Python allocates integers on the heap! Quick, someone alert the media! 📢 As if the Python team hasn't been dealing with this trivial "discovery" since the dawn of time. Maybe next week we'll get to the bottom of why water is wet. 💧

How often does Python allocate?

The answer is "very often"

 Provably correct software
 Proverbially correct software

Ah, yes, because clearly everyone needs their very own Command Line Interface Übermensch to navigate the mind-boggling complexity of... writing basic scripts. 🙄 Why buy a tool when you can spend eons building a half-baked one with more acronyms than usefulness? 🛠️💡

Me, telling my brother about a hard day: "and I was facing a hard problem with my code at work, and I also had to take care of that leak I had failed to fix in --"
Him, thinking: "(surely that must be C code)"
Me: "-- the bathroom sink"
