It works really well for kids. They aren’t even trying to ban it for adults.

Raising the age from 16 to 18 had a massive effect when I was young.

This will most likely dramatically decrease smoking in young people and that’s great.

It’s not 100% or nothing.

Yeah vaping will have its time. I bet they’re already sitting on evidence that it fucks you up.

Prohibition does work very well for kids though. Most people start young as when you’re older you know the issues.

So they are keeping it for people already exposed and trying to stop younger people starting in the first place.

They raised the age to 18 when I turned 16 and it dramatically cut the amount we had access to.

It’s not like the old alcohol probation. Plus smoking isn’t even fun like drinking. It’s just gross and bad for your health. And most people don’t drink because of addiction. It’s a different kettle of fish.

But they should be doing the same for vaping.

It’ll work for the majority of people. You won’t be able to do it out in public.

If you want to get cancer in your own house go ahead.

The truth is they put a huge burden on public services. Mainly the health service but also they create insane amounts of litter.

If vaping is still an option then most people will just do that.

Vaping is currently almost completely unregulated and some studies have found terrifying chemicals in them

People who don’t like cancer and want to take the insane pressure these death sticks put on the health service.

Who in their right mind supports mega corps selling addictive cancer causing products to young people?

I mean murdering people is extremist.

Taking their money would achieve the same.

That second one is a solar farm / battery installation. So it’s included.

How would you check two variables have equal values without changing the value of one otherwise?

Assignment you are assigning a value to the left side. Equality you are checking if the left and right are equal.

It’s “set equal to” Vs “is equal to” one is an operation the other is a condition.

The numbers put out by Ukraine have been 1000+ consistently for quite a while now.

It has always had structs. They are often used for interop but can be used to avoid allocations and they are memory safe out the box, which nice.

Both languages are really great in my opinion. But very different use cases generally.

The reason is the vast majority of places use c# to avoid this stuff. So performance is often not the first priority

The complexity it adds takes away from the readability and maintainability. Which is often the priority.

But in a hot path where you need optimization these are a good send as previously you had to use raw pointers and completely side step all the safety of the language.

I would say 90% of c# developers will never touch these. It’s more for library and framework writers.

I believe most of these features are driven by what the Microsoft Devs need to write asp.net and EF.

It’s 100% not a borrow checker because c# doesn’t have borrowing. It’s just static analysis to ensure memory safety. But the author acknowledges that.

It’s just checking the scopes the variables are defined in in the first example.

How is interest on Russian assets your tax dollars?

402 Payment Required: when they ask you to stay on late

411 Length Required: bad date. Don’t ask

413 Payload Too Large: great date

They can still revoke its use anytime they want. Which is the main issue right?

In fairness it likely wouldn’t be preserved otherwise. So you’re welcome.

Tbh as an experienced programmer I knew exactly what it was straight away. And I don’t know rust. I would imagine the others are similar.

The reason that example is simpler is because JSON is literally JavaScript Object Notation.

It’s also not the same thing. HashMap have type parameters. So you can only add strings to that HashMap whereas you can add anything in js. Does that code even compile?

You can also do “text”.to_string() which simplifies it more.

I feel you’re quite inexperienced and once you do more in different languages you’ll begin to realise why things are like this.

Rust is a compiled language with static typing so these things are required for the compiler to do its job.

It’s also a performance focused language and would blow ts/js out of the water completely on that metric.

Languages are just tools and they all have advantages and disadvantages. You use the right tool for the job.

That example is so insanely readable lol

Absolutely standard looking code for many languages.

That’s why we don’t like c

World of warcraft in the earlier days was very social as there were lots of things you simply couldn’t do on your own.

There was no built in LFG mechanic and even many quests required small groups.

You’d end up bumping into the same people regularly due to similar play times and levels.

I forged some really great friendships back then.
