100% the second one. It's the idiomatic way to do this in Rust, and it leaves you with an immutable object.

I personally like to move the short declarations together (i.e. body down with language_id (or both at the top)) but that's a minor quibble.

Others have answered, but the UK has been rabies free for over a century!

The British Isles (GB and Ireland) have been rabies free since the disease was eradicated in terrestrial animals in 1922.

per DEFRA

forcing passengers to flee

Err, why? We know they're not rabid since it's the UK, so why not just ignore them?

Perhapsburg they are

Only if enough people do it. Then again, loads scrapers outside of AI already pretend to be normal browsers.

The phrasing of "First actual case of bug being found" definitely sounds like it's a reference to an existing term. Nowadays maybe people would say "a literal bug lol".

Edit: to be fair, OP doesn't say that Hopper invented the term

I had a "T-Mobile MDA Vario II" (HTC TyTN 300) which was similar, and also had a collapsible stylus which lived in a little hole on the bottom. It was Windows Mobile, but it was great having the keyboard fully accessible (without that extra bottom bit the G1 had).

It looked like this, just less German:

That's the first Android phone, the HTC Dream (or TMobile G1). I loved this phone, even if it was chronically underpowered.

What about proxies and the like? It might be less relevant in a world where most communication happens under TLS.

Makes a lot of sense - it's a GET with the body from POST (I know, there's more to it than that). Definitely cleaner than encoding a huge URL or query string.

However, we're still implementing IPv6, so how long until we could actually use this?

I want David Mitchell to try this show at some point, but I doubt he’d be willing to do it.

Victoria Coren Mitchell did it, and she's about the same "seriousness" (as comics go).

Jack Dee is a very well known face on British TV, in part for hosting Live at the Apollo before it became rotating hosts. Grumpy, dry and deadpan, he's someone Alex has consistently mentioned when asked who he'd love to have on the show.

Rosie Jones has been on a lot of panel shows lately, and is quite a marmite taste - people seem to love or hate her. In my house we're not a fan in large part because her punchlines are all shock humour, which doesn't really work once you're expecting it. I'm hoping she'll grow as a comedian - Sarah Millican's routine seemed to be 99% I'm fat earlier on but now she's great.

I've not watched anything with Andy Zaltzman in and I don't know the other two at all.
