 Can anyone tell me why #rust #rustlang '.unwrap()' is bad? I understand "because it panics" but that's too superficial an answer. AFAICT, every occurrence is by choice of dev. So either it's a bug by dev, or mistake by user. So does '.unwrap()' get crap only bc ppl don't understand the use cases?

 @b05df304 oh that sounds like a nice way for finely-tuned control. I wonder if it is as natural as it sounds from the description.

 @b05df304 material density, right? I know it well enough. I just hadn't considered it for this case because it came easy when I used to do it.

 @b05df304 oh wow. I have no expertise in this area, but it is interesting. It had never occurred to me.

 @b05df304 really, positive boyancy from the mass? Hmmm .. I guess given material density. That makes me wonder if I could still pull it off. 😋

 @b05df304 I heard good things but never tried. There's always something with browsers, it seems. 😂 I think it's more about which trade-offs you're comfortable with. 
 Well back to #chrome for me... its been a great 6 hours #LibreWolf :( 
 @b05df304 do they have speedruns for chrome->firefox->chrome transitions? I would guess you would at least show on the leader board.

 @822a3c32 really? Seems like you're unnecessarily mixing concerns this way. Don't you want some external action to query a key, then load the driver with this input as an argument of sorts?

 @b05df304 I am not sure I can derive the exact meaning of transient in this context. I assume you mean that it isn't persistent, e.g. keeps replicating so maintains threshold level presence, but instead it disappears over some (unspecified, possibly unknown and/or deviating per person) amount of time.

(I know I am making much more of your answer, but I am trying to put it in words in the way I place it into my limited understanding.)

 @2388cc31 yeah, good times, before the scrollbar and the next button.
