Workaround: Potato peeler extends peeler, so just cast your carrots as potatoes before you peel them, and then cast them back to carrot afterwards

To cast them, it uses libvegs however. It is not available in any standard package libraries, so just quickly build it from source

[–] NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 60 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Yeah but the current build of libvegs has some conflicts with libfruit, so if you need to use both you have to build libvegs in a different directory and then simlink it in /lib.

Tomato keep being casted as fruit, even that for any practical purpose it should be as vegetable

That's it, let's re-write the entire backend in C++ to make use of multiple inheritance to tackle this one use-case!

What do you mean "this is overkill"? Do you have any idea how many tomatoes go into a fucking salad!?

Someone should do it in rust now

Maybe cooking isn't for me.

Yeah but that's all my replacement's problem to deal with

[–] ThunderComplex@lemmy.today 28 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, casting from potato to carrot is a narrowing conversion so your new carrot will lose some properties

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 weeks ago

You say "potato" I say "caroto"

[–] mesamunefire@lemmy.world 15 points 2 weeks ago

I hate that I understand this. Well done.

Internal screaming.

If you forget the second step, well, that's what sweet potatoes are.
