This announcement is mostly stating the obvious

  • Not all lolz(y) subs have the same acquired taste.

  • Jerking styles vary from one circle-jerk sub to another. What's considered a great comment in one might not be even acceptable in another. That includes copypastas.

  • A perfect jerk is a jerk that exactly copies or perfectly mimics the selected jerking material listed in the sidebar.

  • A comment that will certainly get removed (e.g. for being too hostile, aggressive, or disparaging) from the discussion forums that give us all the awesome jerking material, such a comment is technically a blatant jerking style violation.

  • A rigid application of the rules will obviously see every other comment in this sub removed, including some of mine. Yet a certain level of adherence is still expected of everyone here.

I seem to have fallen short of following the ever-wise mantra: Explicit is better than implicit. Therefore, I decided to make this announcement, knowing full well that all of this is probably obvious to everyone. Well, everyone except one certain PCJer who has been the subject of multiple complaints that reached me via multiple channels, a PCJer who seems incapable of taking a hint!

jerk not found the difference between `const Data& d` and `const Data d` isn't accurately characterized as "a typo" -- it's a semantically significant difference in intent, core to the language, critical to behavior and outcome

Linus: "I don't want to see patches that make the kernel reading experience worse for me and likely for the vast majority of people, based on the argument that some odd people have small terminal windows."

tagged for the GC libriscv is a mature RISC-V emulator that is currently being used in game engines. As far as I know, it is the only emulator that focuses solely on latency, and provides specialized solutions and tools to accomplish fast in-and-out function calls wrapped around a safe sandbox.

jerk not found Almost everyone I know who picks up Rust prefers to use chained iterators, and over time for loops become somewhat of a smell.

What are you talking about? The type system in Typescript is a faccade, a set of restrictions on real javascript. The type system in rust is way more advanced, powerful and consistent.
