Given the title "Elements of Rust", I suspect that is very much intentional.

> doing it their way gets rid of all of the ambiguity involved with USB C

At that point, why use USB-C for the dock connection at all? Just use a proprietary connector if you're not going to follow the standards.

Having a separate USB-C port for charging should satisfy e.g. the EU regulations requiring that, I think. (Assuming that is the reason they used USB-C in the first place)

Presumably, sticking with USB lowers costs. Just buy mass-produced ports rather than invest in tooling to build a bespoke port.

They already produce custom designed ports in order to add some tolerance to make it easier to dock the device.

The choices aren’t limited to USB or bespoke. There are thousands of mass produced non-USB connectors available at any major electronics parts distributor.

To satisfy charging expectations with the same port as display that they decided to do something proprietary with. On the flip side, why not do that when people will buy the console no matter what?

They are following the standards. They don't have to communicate with devices that they don't want to communicate with. There's no requirement in the USB spec that connected Type-C compliant devices interoperate in all cases.

Haven't used it extensively, but there is XWiki: https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome

They were referring to Pyrex when talking about "shoddy replacements", not Instant Pot (although they didn't specify this in their comment, so confusion is very understandable).

Very much so. NFI what "instant pot" is; i suspect it bears little resemblance to "instant coffee". I miss the "visions" cookware tho.

It's an electric pressure cooker with some additional features. Pretty handy.

You mean like a human teacher?

Of course, I agree with your point, but worth remembering that teachers can and do (knowingly or unknowingly) give incorrect information to their students.

I think one big difference with ChatGPT etc. is, as far as I've seen, it will pretty much always give a confident sounding answer (unless it's on a banned topic) rather than saying something like "I don't know", which a (good) human teacher should do rather than just making something up.

> You mean like a human teacher?

This reminded me of one of my teachers who said that Cuba was a great place to live and the rest of Latin America should be more like them. She was essentially a communist who painted the old Soviet Union and communist countries in general as much better than the capitalist west.

the methodolgy of the bot that posts the deleted posts every 12 hours is explained here: https://old.reddit.com/r/RedditMinusMods/wiki/index

the graph just shows the number of posts that this bot has found "missing" each 12 hours

it's labelled as number of removals, I think it's an absolute number of removed posts per day(?)

edit: sibling comment points out it's per 12 hour period, not per day

edit: as for the cap of 50 - it seems that is the number of posts shown on a first page of r/all (using old reddit), so it seems that means that all 50 slots "should" be filled with posts that have been removed

Presumably they can run the pirated version on actual hardware as well (via custom firmware etc.), and therefore compare?

Netflix also (I think briefly) offered DVD rental in UK, competing with LoveFilm. LoveFilm did continue for a while after the Amazon acquisition, both as DVD rental and with streaming added (LoveFilm Instant, if I remember correctly), which eventually got rebranded into Amazon Instant Video
