Hi, humans.
If you like me (and we like, at least sometimes talk) and would be interested in joining a potential discord server I create, feel free to give me a shout.
Can't promise anything, as these thing usually go, but I'd like to have people I like around and stuff.
@cachondo @menelion Discord really starts to shine when you have people that are on the server while moving about. Their noise cancelation is beyond amazing, meaning that you can e.g. do stuff in the kitchen, speak when you have something to say, and not be annoying when you don't. It also handles network conditions, like when getting into an elevator for example, a lot better than tt.
With that said, I think it needs a lot more shepherding from admins, as each new member needs to actually be invited, you can't just give credentials to people you trust.

It remains stunning and fresh now, let alone how mindblowing it mustβve been in β74

It's a tragedy, and the handling is absolutely awful so far. A few more details:
Right after winning the election, the regional government abolished the regional emergency unit as a cost-cutting measure.
Urban planning failed in allowing to build in what are essentially dry riverbeds and became wet once again.
The state agency for meteorology had been giving warnings for days. Civil protection didn't issue warnings to citizens through their phones until flooding had already begun.
A far right pseudo-trade union has sued the director of the agency for reckless homicide.
The president of the region incorrectly stated that the phenomenon was remiting and heading elsewhere.
The region didn't ask the state to raise the emergency level to 3, in which case the state would take over the single command and deploy its own means to support. But now the region accuses the state of innaction. The region also didn't declare "situation of catastrophic emergency" which would have vested single command on the regional president, probably to elude legal responsibility.
Volunteers were rejected at first, then belatedly organised, and the region instead of sending them to help people in villages with cleaning, food and water delivery and so on, have at times sent them to clean shopping centres.
With that amount of rain it was always going to be bad. But the civil protection plan failed and the political conflict in the country is keeping administrations pointing the finger at each other. Very upsetting.

It's #FediBookFair weekend! All weekend, authors will be posting about books and related topics. Follow the hashtag to find new authors to follow, and books to read or buy as Christmas presents.
If this doesn't sound like fun, filter the hashtag. But if it does, please boost so that more people can join us.
We will boost as many posts as we can, and we encourage others to do the same.
Pero resulta que este seΓ±or, periodista para La Vanguardia y A Punt, dice que hay lΓo en "varios" buses porque les han llevado A LIMPIAR UN CENTRO COMERCIAL.
Al parecer la gente se niega a bajar de los buses porque quieren ayudar a la gente en sus casas u calles.

Mastodon #Science people, I come to you, hat in hand, searching for a paper.
It was about using Corsi-Rosenthal boxes in schools, but it was fairly short, because the teachers in the study school kept turning off the C-R boxes. I do not know if they used the phrase "Corsi-Rosenthal" or if they just called it a DIY air cleaner/purifier.
Does anyone know this paper?
How a misinterpretation of a BMJ publication from 1996 caused (and yes, I do mean caused) the explosion in rates of peanut allergy.
In a nutshell: for decades the guidance issued in the USA and UK was the opposite of what it should have been and left a generation with preventable, life-threatening allergies.

Seem like peanut allergies were once rare and now everyone has them?

People make fun of the βwhat happens in the booth stays in the boothβ election ads, but I know poll workers who have had to keep husbands out of their wiveβs voting booths because they had to βmake sure she votes rightβ. When I was phone banking I also talked with a woman whoβs husband or boyfriend was clearly around and it almost definitely changed the nature of the call. Voter intimidation by men is a real problem and Iβm glad these ads address it.

Foo, I can be assured that it's never going to be null when I try to access it. If I want to say that I can have something or nothing, then I can useOption<Foo>to express that, and the compiler will force me to explicitly choose how to handle the case where it'sNone.A lot of languages have something that looks similar, but very few actually have the guarantees that Rust's

in reply to Chris π± • • •Resultis also nice for error handling. One gripe I find working with many languages is that APIs don't clearly tell you what types of errors might occur. You're generally supposed to document what can happen inthrowsin languages with exceptions, but generally I only see what the function itself throws - not what functions it calls throw. So if an error happens deep down in the stack, it's harder to know what exactly happened.Resultcan let you define exactly what types of errors may occur, and then you can either translate the errors you receive into other types, or wrap them and send them back up. It gives you both flexibility and readability that I really appreciate.Chris Siebenmann
