uobqh0 | I keep reading on Reddit that guys prefer ZERO makeup and they know what natural makeup is and still don't prefer it. If that's true, why do I get so much more male attention when I wear makeup? | Men on Reddit are not a good sample. Even if that was the case and the survey says most men prefer no makeup, there's still the issue that your locality differs in opinion. | 69,540 | NoStupidQuestions |
uoc14v | Hi programmers of reddit. I was wondering how common on-call duty is across companies. I have been speaking to a number of engineers across different companies and sizes. It seems like a reasonable setup but not everyone does it. The people who have to be on-call also hate it. Why?

uoc2t3 | To my understanding the if-let is only useful when you want to match only one thing and do something with it while ignoring everything else.

Firstly, I will admit that the syntax is weird in your example. The `if let 3 = dice` doesn't read very well but this is not what if-let was designed for. Your example should use `if dice == 3` so there is no reason for the if-let. I... | 360 | LearnRust |
