The Rustacean Principles are more than feel-good ideas. They are a key part of why developers keep giving Rust the crown. It depends on if you've got a wire brush and some Tremclad?

Quote: “Reliable: If it compiles, it works.”
fn main() {
let x = 7;
let y = 0;
println!("{} / {} = {}", x, y, x/y);
} Output:
Compiling playground v0.0.1 (/playground)
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 3.50s
Running `target/debug/playground`
thread 'main' panicked at 'attempt to divide by zero', src/main.rs:5:32
But it compiled!
Yeah, I would panic too.

after years focusing on memory issues, it's good to bring back to the front the old and neglected divided by 0 error. And its mates, arithmetic overflow errors!

It is prohibitively expensive to send building materials from Earth to Mars, which is why future habitats will need to be constructed primarily using materials already found on the Red Planet. Now do you want to volunteer for that space mission?

:crazy hair ancient alien Greek guy:
The planet looks red, therefore it must have been built from the oxygen carrying blood of an advanced alien species. That alien species must have migrated to Earth to give the Egyptians and Mayans the technology necessary to build pyramids. See? It all makes sense!

Maybe we can bleed Elon Musk once he lands on the moon to build dwellings.
He knows he can’t return to Earth so how does it matter how long he lives on Mars?
We might as well make his life on Maes useful to others!

Researchers in UC Santa Barbara professor Yasamin Mostofi's lab have enabled, for the first time, counting a stationary seated crowd using WiFi signals, and without relying on people to carry a device. "You can count on me like one, two, three"

"Like sands through the hourglass, such are the days of wifi."

Tech Explore: It has a variety of applications, including smart energy management, controlling the crowd size during a pandemic, business planning, and security, and creating the Orwellian hellscape of a pervasive surveillance state .

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, weighing all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

They discovered the Strava Global Heatmap[^]? It's already embarrassed the US military.
To be fair, we have found it useful in bush firefighting, revealing where the unmapped walking tracks are (and, more importantly, where the mapped ones don't exist on the ground).

Python could soon take first place in one more programming language popularity ranking. Everyone who's anyone is doing all their work in it*
* Where:
'everyone' is 'everyone looking up how to do things with it'
'doing all their work' is 'learning how to do things with it'
The fact that "The top 20 languages also included Classic Visual Basic, Groovy, Ruby, Go, Swift, MATLAB, Fortran, R, Perl, and Delphi. " should really let people know of the quality of these lists.
"Why did you bother posting this, Kent et al?" Because it's a slow news day, and I needed to vent.

"Vent" - that's a great name for a new programming language! The adVent of a new programming paradigm where we reinVent the old, break the conVention, and give you something new to Vent about, but it will be an adVenture! Venture forth, and eVentually we'll be in the list of 20 top languages!

David Fowler has been quietly creating an amazing piece of documentation for Minimal APIs in .NET 6. And that's all I'm going to say about that

It looks like Python and some flavor of one of the modules for a simple server.
I guess they plagiarized the idea. Since "Microsoft is now a 'Visionary Sponsor' of the Python Software Foundation" I shouldn't be so harsh.

if not for those bloody white space, python is minimalist, so, personally, I rejoice that C# copy some good idea from around here!

Steve Wozniak has started a company called Privateer Space. If all the other billionaires wanted to go into space, would you do it too?
Although, "Privateer Space" is the best name so far.

Probably not too hard to build. Docking capability, a big mouth, and a Faraday cage for a stomach.
