I wonder if there is a distance function to it, so you can render it in 3D using sphere tracing.

Same. I haven't cried since i was a little kid in the 90's. I've always found strange when people cry at movies and such.

I don't eat breakfast since a long time. I wake up at 11am-12pm and sleep at 3-4am. I just sleep through it. Does that mean that my lunch counts as a breakfast?

What this probably does is enumerating the followings for the target user, then opening a filter stream [1] that watches a list of all of those.

You can do that already. Storing arbitrary data in long URL's has been possible since the introduction of URL shorteners (play.rust-lang.org uses this extensively)

I also started with BASIC. First was Commodore BASIC and then QBasic. I remember there was also LOGO, one of the original didactic languages. IMHO, if you want a simple language in the same spirit as BASIC, the closest you can find is Lua.

S-expressions are the better alternative to XML.

I used to work for a private server that shut down in 2010 (Phoenix Wow). It was my first exposure ever to a big code base, teamwork with version control and some reverse engineering. The "cores" were usually forks of the Mangos project (TrinityCore, R2) written in C++ and pretty unstable (uptime was usually only hours). If Rust existed in that era it would've been much better.

Rust version:

    fn main()
    {
        if let Some(arg) = std::env::args().nth(1)
        {
            println!("{}", arg.chars().take(12).collect::<String>()); // chars() iteraters over codepoints
        }
    }

So we'll be able to use Twitter DMs as data storage?

That's why you should never allow loading Lua bytecode. Disallowing it is trivial, don't know why they didn't do it.

Everyone should switch to Portage. It's like a superset of every package manager.
