    I would have thought that the Great Firewall of China would be a more obvious thing to be reminded of. Especially since there is no world war currently, yet, at least, and communic…

    If X/Twitter was to be banned in the EU, and some of its citizens still wanted to access X/Twitter, let us say for the sake of getting alternative points of view on politics and ne…

    I am not sure that I understand you correctly, and I find the subject interesting. Is it what the enum abstraction can model easily that is the issue? If so, I believe the Rust com…
