I can't remember the last time I had to deal with an OpenSSL dependency in a project and did not despise it. I've started moving all my #RustLang projects from libgit2 to gitoxide more for getting rid of OpenSSL than for the actual niceties it brings
@baadc0de @Sheril Well... the term "bug" for a glitch in wiring goes at least back to Edison (who may have coined it; his usage is well attested from the early 1870s). The phrasing "first *actual* bug" in the Harvard lab logbook is itself a testimonial to earlier usage. https://spectrum.ieee.org/did-you-know-edison-coined-the-term-bug
Did You Know? Edison Coined the Term “Bug”

Bugs have plagued technologists for centuries

@Sheril She was not the first person to write a compiler. That would be Alick Glennie, who wrote the Autocode compiler just before Grace did.

However, Grace did publish about compiler before Alick. Alick was first to implement one.

She did, however, coin the term bug and help develop COBOL. An amazing person.

@fasterthanlime I use it for checking my grammar and spelling. It's good for that too.

@briandorsey @clarfonthey I use the "Toggle" extension in VSCode, with this definition in my keyboard settings:

This allows me to toggle inlay hints on and off with Ctrl+i

Also, if you use dark mode, I also use this in my settings:

@briandorsey reduce uses references because v.iter() is an iterator of references. And because the output type has to match the acc and e parameters, you need somewhere to store it.

However, if you use v.into_iter(), this produces an iterator that makes non-references and so you're returning a non-reference.

@fasterthanlime the image is not true. JSON doesn't define number of bits, only implementations of JavaScript. But even so, 53 bits is still a lot :) That's still around 4.5x10^15
@Henrysbridge @rhysw Who really masters a language? Do you feel you've mastered English. I don't.

@Henrysbridge In Welsh, there are specific adjectives for feminine and plural nouns - in particular colous and sizes (e.g. Cardiff Blues are Y Gleision, not Y Glas)
Bara implies plural, so if you've got a sign up, i'd say 'bara brith bychain' would be more grammatically correct, but 'bara brith bach' is probably more natural and covers a single one.

'torth' (loaf) on the other hand is a feminine noun, so a small bb loaf would be 'torth bara brith fechan'

@noboilerplate Thanks for this. ChatGPT was excellent in helping me write a well-written letter.
