Because passive language can be biased to.

Say someone speeds, ignores a red light and runs over a cyclist, which headline is more biased?

Fatal crash at xy intersection, collision between car and bicycle.

Irresponsible driver kills cyclist at xy intersection.

The image is a cropped xkcd with the text replaced but the same joke.

To me it looks like a :/ with a fluffy hat and a collar.

Edit: .</ is a person doing stretches (it works better for the font in the image)

Prolog is not suitable for any problem domain, although this is more readily apparent for some domains than others.

For real, for real.

Well, apart from the free movement of people and goods, the common currency, the gdpr, the international students and the consumer protection what has the EU ever done for us?

Brought peace.

Uh peace, shut up.

What is the methodology called where you:

Plan to go to orbit, blow up seconds into the flight, and declare it a success.

Plan to refuel in orbit, make it minutes before the rocket brakes. Fire the FTS, it fails, the rocket blows up a minute later und declare it a successful test of the FTS.

Argue to NASA that you are not the limiting factor to the moon mission planed for the end of the year, despite delivering none of the milestones.

FTS = flight termination system

Websites have grown beyond mere scripting.
Rust is about more than just nicer pointers, it has a very expressive type system that enables correctness rarely seen outside FP.

Instead of

if let Some(a_) = a{
    ()
} else if let Some(b_)=b{
    ()
} else {
    dostuff 
}

you could just use

if a.isNone()&&b.isNone(){
    dostuff
}

Also if you don't use the value in a match just use _
