Pondering Rust's fascination with f32 types. I remember being concerned about memory usage and floats vs doubles in the late '90s, but in the intervening decades I thought we'd kinda agreed that unless there's lots of them, doubles were faster. Am I just the wrong level of old?

I'm learning Rust, and wow am I feeling the "docs are not written for humans" thing right now. And nor are forum responses. A lot of "I'm so smart, mark that particular example up this way", not a lot of "here's how to structure your code out of this mess".

Walking to work a little early this morning. Tons of kids biking on the sidewalk. Paint bike lanes really don't protect anyone, do they?
