Mirror won't tell me. I'm still trying to figure out who's the fairest of the mall.

Embarrassingly, I'd never heard of Rust until your joke there. I had a nostalgia attack reading about it and seeing a reference to Dr. Dobb's Journal!

Rust does not use garbage collection. Memory and other resources are instead managed through the "resource acquisition is initialization" convention, with optional reference counting. Rust provides deterministic management of resources, with very low overhead. Values are allocated on the stack by default, and all dynamic allocations must be explicit.

Rust (Wikipedia)

Gotta love that expression.

Judas Priest are timeless. I've heard them in radios recently. Maybe you're more into pop than metal/Hard Rock. Or you love some baby but not a Manalishi.

I enjoy everything except rap and hip-hop. Especially hardcore metal and progressive (psy)trance. Also flamenco and opera. We have entire thread dedicated to the subject here.

I like beer. At least 7% alc. vol. Anything thinner tastes like water.

Post in thread 'Most Hard-Driving Music?'

From hard to soft:



Love it when in the next one he "sings" "Urgh!"



...and someone mentioned traditional black metal. With these guys you can almost smell the Norwegian wooden churches burning, points for scene show anyway:



Talk about angry young men! :smile:

I used to intern , i.e., little more than being a Caffeine-Supply Engineer at this place that had a (Digital) radio on all the time. They'd switch stations occassionally. So I've taken in a vast swath of music over that time.

Who's got nostalgia for Y2K?

I know (or at least strongly suspect) that Y2K problems isn't the real issue here. Nevertheless, I remember being issued with a bunch of paper, the thickness of several telephones books (anyone know what a telephone book is anymore?), with C code, in small font on both pages, being asked if I would please use my free time to scan through it and see if there should be any problems.

I mean why on paper? And my free time?!

I'm glad I'm retired.

The Euro was introduced in 1998 here. That meant a lot of examination of very, very old mainframe code in banking software, esp. as notations were swapped from the price of one dollar to the price of one euro. Checking the Y2K problem was a byproduct. I had never imagined seeing real-life assembler code before, but I did. At least it gave me the rare opportunity to watch Sylvester fireworks at the 21st level over the town.

Only announced much later, we did have a Y2K related national defense system fail

This is from Google AI, but I remember when this information was released, which is how I knew to look it up.

One significant US defensive system experienced a failure shortly after midnight UTC on January 1, 2000 (which was still Dec 31st, 1999, in the US time zones). A ground-based computer failure temporarily blinded several US spy satellites.

The system, an intelligence processing station at Fort Belvoir, Virginia, went offline for two to three hours. The problem wasn't with the satellites themselves, which remained under control, but with the ground station's ability to process the incoming information due to a Y2K-related error in a software patch.

Wonder why we don't have unisex stores where you can walk around in your underwear to try clothes on, so you don't have to repeatedly dress and undress when buying clothes?

I barely want to go buy clothes at all. I don't see myself wanting to stay in longer than necessary.

WWGD has a point.

Unisex actually means 'single sex'.

We've always misused it to mean sex-agnostic or omni-sex.

unisex
adjective
intended for use by both males and females:
unisex clothes
a unisex hairdresser's

wiki
The term 'unisex' was coined in the 1960s and was used fairly informally. The combining prefix uni- is from Latin unus, meaning one or single. However, 'unisex' seems to have been influenced by words such as united and universal, in which uni- takes the related sense shared. Unisex then means shared by sexes.<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unisex#cite_note-3"><span>[</span>3<span>]</span></a>
