I understand that the macro only affects compile time but I'm talking about the extra function that's included in the resulting source code when the macro is expanded during compile. Based on other feedback, it looks like the unused function is optimized away.

I've literally sat down in city centers surrounded by buildings. It's an amazing feeling.

The runoff voting downside is incorrect, the "drag the voters up to yellow and watch how it makes red win" example. This is not "see how making yellow more popular makes yellow lose". It's actually "see how making red more popular than yellow makes red win". The movement of the voters is not for yellow, but for red and yellow in a way that gives more voters to red.

There is no way for yellow to be the only candidate to get a boost of voters in the demo. If there were, it would only demonstrate further that yellow would still continue to win.

Runoff voting is the way.

Why would a Rust compiler written in C be more trustworthy than one written in Rust?

If the idea is that, in an ideal world, we would compile each layer of compilers from assembly-up-to-Rust for each build, that seems even more risky as then you have to trust each compiler instead of just one.

The idea that someone would introduce the verbiage "garbage collection" in the context of Rust is crazy to me. I hope they change that to "file cleanup" or... anything else.

There are some people who both start and end every gun debate with the "good guy with a gun" argument. Nothing gets through the impenetrable logic of "it makes sense to me".

Oh, yeah, vim motions are wonderful. I started using them when I installed Linux on my Chromebook due to the lack of a good keyboard setup (I still don't know where the Delete key is on that thing).

I just had to restart Skyrim (again), but I am determined to beat the main storyline this time. I have hundreds of hours in this game and I've played just about every side quest. On those rare moments I stumble into a new dungeon, I just absorb each step, soaking it all in.

Yesterday doing a search using vim for a class that shared a lot of characters at the front with many other classes: /Bas.*Some I could have done a more precise search with better regex, but this was quick, easy, and worked.

I love any reduction in build times. This is great news.
