Gender is a social construct, biological sex is not. Confusingly, we use the same binary terms for both.

So there are some jobs that only a biological male can do, that a biological female is not qualified to do? If we made a list, which jobs do you think might be on it?

Nowhere near as binary as your False Dichotomy question makes it, but men are generally better suited to:

dig trenches

carry heavy rucksacks

move weaponry and equipment by hand

survive hand-to-hand combat (granted, their odds are still limited to below 50%)


Also math, being doctors, and firemen

Getting killed in war is a job much better suited to males. They are more disposable, especially now in the age of sperm banking.

And also things like math, being doctors, and firemen

Being firefighters, yes to some extent, because males are more likely to have acquired the physical strength needed to lift people out of burning buildings. But there are many female firefighters who excel in the profession too.

There is nothing about males that make them more suited to be doctors. We also can see that in the demographics in some countries (e.g. the UK), there is a roughly equal balance of female doctors to male doctors.

Having mathematical ability is linked to intelligence, not sex.


Why would it fail?

It's fine as long as the graph of references is immutable, or is unidirectional/acyclic with unique ownership.

If you have backreferences or "parent pointers", you need `Arc<Mutex<...>>` or `Rc<RefCell<...>>`, and then you run into trouble as you encounter the same node multiple times while traversing the graph, because you cannot hold a mutex lock or mutably borrow `RefCell` twice in the same call stack.

The solution with much less resistance in Rust is to go for a data-oriented representation. If you really need an actual graph of objects, separate the node data from the topology metadata, and refer to the nodes using an ID or index. (As an extra bonus, this also gives you much better cache locality.)


You don't really need the different IDEs. For example, you can install the Rust plugin and the TypeScript plugin in IntelliJ Ultimate, without needing RustRover and WebStorm.


IIRC that's also what is said in the video.


They rebranded to Vercel, most likely because Zeit turned out to not be a perfectly fine name.


I'd propose Zig have a specific version for Germany and call it Z-Germans.


Do you mean because of the newspaper called _Die Zeit_?


Note that there is also a standard for JSON-based RPC systems, called JSON-RPC [0]. Not every JSON-based self-titled "RESTful" API uses JSON-RPC.

Ironically, the AAA "snacks" cost triple the amount the indie games cost.


Not if you wait long enough :>


What's wrong with Percy Jackson? What YA books can you recommend?


IMU because you don't necessarily want the response body. The first promise resolves after the headers are received, the .json() promise resolves only after the full body is received (and JSON.parse'd, but that's sync anyway).


Have you heard about facet?
