Joke's on Reddit. I've been blocking their results in the search engine I use for months!

I wonder if this will end up being pursued as an antitrust case. If anything, it'll reduce traffic to Reddit from non-Google users, so hopefully that kills them off just a little faster.

Looks like the article requires an account. Is there an archived version?

I also avoid query syntax generally because I find it hard to map to method syntax with more complex queries. It's a cool concept though, despite it being painful to use.

For library code - yes, you'd usually want to direct users to the correct way of using the library, so you'd be more likely to come across fallible build functions or a bunch of type parameters to constrain when it can be called.

For applications - honestly, it's your code, so do what makes sense to you. Using a build function can help you ensure your settings were fully configured before using them, but it's up to you if that's the direction that makes the most sense to you. One benefit is you only need to perform the check once, but the downside is having another "built" type that you need to keep in sync with the original type. You can also look at libraries like derive_builder if you want to have your builder generated for you to avoid needing to manually update two separate types.

C# also has a built-in query language (LINQ). I think it might just be simpler to group them together to avoid nuances like these, though I don't think anyone would complain about not seeing LINQ on a query language list either.

I wonder how many people learned Lua for this reason (CC and friends).

Frozen bread is magical. Microwaving it for a short time is all it takes to go from frozen to perfect. It's honestly amazing. No need to put the bread in the fridge at all - just freeze the whole loaf and defrost slices when you need them.

GN's charts usually compare against a few gens of somewhat comparable products, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a 12th gen CPU or two on the charts. I'd also expect to see some 7000 series Ryzen chips and maybe a 5000 series one. I believe they normally include these older gens for people who skipped a gen or two to see what they'd get out of an upgrade.

I don't know if people have just gotten meaner over time or if that is how it has always been, but there are a lot of people who are very unpleasant to interact with, both on and off the internet. It can be stressful trying to interact with new people because it's a dice roll on whether they're friendly or condescending.

Anyway, just my observation. I don't know if that has anything to do with social media, but it wouldn't surprise me I guess.

There are emergencies the adults at the school won't understand. This has happened a few times to my spouse, where the nurse/teachers kept brushing off issues they didn't understand, ranging from things like asthma to strep throat.

Otherwise, I agree that the phones should be put away during class.

Ironically, I had friends in school who had come from juvy. I guess you could say prision fed into school instead? I'd love to ask them their opinions on that statement though and see how similar to prison school really was.

As far as I can tell, that person is just rage baiting. If they genuinely believe school is the same as prison, having visited one myself (not for myself), all I can say is they should actually visit one and see for themselves what a prison is actually like.

To add, this was many years ago now, but my school let me continue to the next grade despite getting failing grades in multiple of my classes. There's a strong "no child left behind" mentality (at least in the state I grew up in), which imo is a good thing, but the approach is to just pass people anyway rather than try to address why they are struggling.
