The costs of the UK’s Global Talent Visa looks a trifle high in comparison to competitor countries - largely through the Immigration Health Surcharge (which critics say is a form of double taxation as they contribute to the NHS through normal tax on their earnings)

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen
As a restaurant owner - I'm astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today's microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow's microwave will be able to cook an entire Thanksgiving Dinner. Ten years from now a microwave may even be able to run the country. Recently I was watching a livestream of a local microwave salesman.

new #rustlang crate drop: iddqd! ID-based maps where keys are borrowed from values. Four maps are included: IdOrdMap, IdHashMap, a bijective (1:1) BiHashMap and a trijective (1:1:1) TriHashMap.
At Oxide we've found this pattern to be very useful. iddqd is no-std compatible, too!
