I think they're saying to give the benefit of the doubt (ex. maybe it's a glitch), without realizing many of us have no more leeway to give due to the continuing onslaught of criminal behavior from musk/Trump which we'll all have to pay for in the future and is now giving our enemies reason to celebrate.

After ignoring the download links I ejected the floppy, drank some coffee, and read from the notebook. What did you try?

The characters in OP's arrow function have the benefit of being available on a standard keyboard layout. This has proven to be an important syntactic feature, imo.

New comment by DrDeadCrash in "Differential: Type safe RPC that feels like local functions"

I once wrote a system for distributed data processing (8-10 years ago). There was a base class that when inherited from would, via Interception reroute a call to any virtual method to a server with the same interface loaded (plug-in architecture). The server would then delegate the method to one of its worker clients, which had the (same) required plugin(s) loaded. It worked over TCP on a local intranet. Once the admin-server-worker plugin system was figured out, projecting a virtual method was fairly transparent. There's always going to be some boiler-plate!
