Ah yes. Half the internet going down for an hour. Planned maintenance so it’s ok. No, it’s not ok. This is a major infrastructure company. You don’t need to bring down your service to perform maintanance. That’s only for small businesses for whom it’s not worth it to maintain the service up while doing maintainance.

I believe this comment chain is about spanish, not french.

In Spanish the last letter of the word is right most of the time. We do say “una Fanta”.

I don’t know what dialect you speak where “Mano” is masculine. In Spain it is feminine, and I’ve never heard anyone say “el mano”. I’ve also never heard anyone say “el manita”.

I don’t think “ser” and “estar” being different verbs is at all wrong with spanish. They are very clearly different concepts.

You can be something because it is part of you “I am tall” or you can be something situationally “I am at the library”. What is weird to me is that English uses the same verb for those clearly different concepts.

My M turned upside down. I’m leaving it like this

The newest windows terminal is called “terminal”.

I used to type “cwd”, but after installing terminal, I type “terminal”. Probably same situation for OP.

My comment explicitly avoids the “standard” problem.

A user could have many "theming system"s installed at once, while only having 1 DE. The user ideally would configure only one, and some program should try to translate that system into the other ones.

Then each app will fetch the list of theming systems the user has installed, and choose whichever the app prefers. And if there’s no match, fall back to a default hard coded theme.

Idk why you are choosing to imagine anon like that. But that is a pretty normal and socially acceptable behaviour in a bar

I have absolutely no idea. But I’m assuming a french museum has many links to french culture.

He wasn’t listening to the conversation for 3 hours. He was seated there for 3 hours, and then he overheard a part of a conversation.

Overhearing is not the same as actively listening. Talking in public is public. They are at a bar, which is an extremely social place, it is normal for strangers to join conversations.

And what place and context is more appropriate than a bar for asking someone out? It has been the de facto place exactly for that purpose for millenia.

Talking to a stranger is extremely rude?

How are you supposed to find a partner if you’re not allowed to talk to strangers?

Non-europeans don’t pay taxes to maintain the louvre, so they can enjoy it for much cheaper. Having the same price would be actual discrimination.

Cultural institutions are owned by the people of that culture, they should be cheaper (or even free) for them to enjoy.

Except accept/cancel is sometimes switched.

As a PC gamer that doesn’t often use a controller. I often have to enter menus twice. Once to just exit it, and another to accept whatever is the first entry.

Specially when emulating old Nintendo games, which don’t say which button is which.

I see you ignored my entire comment.

I don’t know what is more explicit about expect. Unwrap is as explicit as it gets without directly calling panic!, it’s only 1 abstraction level away. It’s literally the same as expect, but without a string argument. It’s probably top 10 functions most commonly used in rust, every rust programmer knows what unwrap does.

Any code reviewer should be able to see that unwrap and flag it as a potential issue. It’s not a weird function with an obscure panic side effect. It can only do 2 things: panic or not panic, it can be implemented in a single line. 3 lines if the panic! Is on a different line to the if statement.

This can also be a side product for code blocks being expressions instead of statements.

In rust for example they are, so it’s not rare to see functions like:

fn add_one(x: i32) -> i32 {
    x+1
}

This lets you do amazing things like:

let x = if y < 0.0 {
    0.0
} else {
    y
}

which is the same as x = y < 0.0 ? 0.0 : y

But is much better for more complex logic. So you can forget about chaining 3-4 ternary operations in a single line.

An unhanded error will always result on a panic (or a halt I guess). You cannot continue the execution of the program without handling an error (remember, just ignoring it is a form of handling). You either handle the error and continue execution, or you don’t and stop execution.

A panic is very far from a segfault. In apparent result, it is the same. However, a panic is a controlled stopping of the program’s execution. A segfault is a forced execution stop by the OS.

But the OS can only know that it has to segfault if a program accesses memory outside its control.

If the program accesses memory that it’s under it’s control, but is outside bounds, then the program will not stop the execution, and this is way worse.

EDIT: As you said, it’s also an important difference that a panic will just stop the thread, not the entire process.

Replace uncaught exception for unhanded error.

“unwrap should not exist” is true as long as you don’t want to ever use the language. If you actually want to use it, you need it. At least while developing.

Some values cannot have a default value. And some cases it’s preferable to panic even if it has a default value.

unwrap is not the problem. Cloudflare’s usage is.

It’s really hard to do without Rc (or similar) or unsafe.

I’ve got all that. I just needed to convert a string of characters into a list of glyph IDs.

For context, I’m doing a code editor.

I don’t use harfbuzz for shaping or whatever, since I planned on rendering single lines of mono spaced text. I can do everything except string->glyphs conversion.

Just trying to implement basic features such as ligatures is incredibly hard, since there’s almost no documentation. Therefore you can’t make assumptions that are necessary to take shortcuts and make optimizations. I don’t know if harfbuzz uses a source of documentation that I haven’t been able to find, or maybe they are just way smarter than me, or if fonts are made in a way that they work with harfbuzz instead of the other way around.

As someone trying to have as little dependencies as possible, it is a struggle. But at the same time, harfbuzz saved me soo much time.

EDIT: I don’t do my own glyph rasterization, but that’s because I haven’t gotten to it yet, so I do use a library. I don’t know if it’s going to be harder than string->glyphs, but I doubt so.
