You’ll be happy to hear I’ve updated the example to be not bad

The original example was doing the unwrap_within an iterator doing some string parsing, so there was a lot of unrelated boilerplate around the actual unwrapping that made it really unclear, as well as usual unwrap_or_else to produce a constant value

Ehhh, I was more using get_default as a placeholder for some function, as opposed to representing Default::default for the inner type specifically. I think it should be alright since only people familiar with rust would know about the default trait anyway. I did consider adding an unwrap_or_default example, but thought it was getting a bit off topic at that point.

Because he asked you for a source that one time?

And he’s the thin-skinned one 💀

“Moderately related” as in “written by and with royalties paid to”

People, and trans people especially, absolutely have good reason to not want to buy a product that directly funds a person who is actively hostile to their existence.

You can’t deal with critical comments from a community who are directly affected by the actions of a major stakeholder? That’s pathetic.

You’re right about where the Caucasus is, but the generally accepted meaning - both in the US and Europe - is white European ancestry, not just those from the Caucasus.

Thank you for your assumption that I am not, in fact, European.

However, given I’m from one of the few European countries that speak English as their primary language, I can categorically say you’re wrong.

Oh wow, that first result sure does say exactly that

Edit: interestingly, lmgtfy actually gets a different response to googling it directly in the UK for me 🤔

I additionally linked to the specifically British edition of Collins as well for your benefit, which is, in fact, a dictionary. Seriously, trust me, if you go up to 5 Brits and ask them what Caucasian means, they will almost certainly all answer “white”.

Wikipedia, also, is not a dictionary.

It’s also pretty damn rude to classify the American usage as “incorrect”, you’re not the arbiter of what “real” English is.

What happened to “show me one dictionary”?

Looks like your goalposts have grown legs.

So, the common usage in both the country with the greatest number of English speakers AND the country the language originated in is incorrect? Because crispy_kilt says so?

Language is a socially negotiated system, so what the word means to the people who use it is what the words mean.

That paper is about what terminology should be used in academic work, who gives a fuck for people talking on lemmy?

The scale of annoyingness:

Pedants -> incorrect pedants -> incorrect pedants who insist they’re right, regardless of the evidence in front of them
