  • I still don’t accept the fundamental core point of the arguement which is that rust necessarily makes it impossible to commit certain errors. Rust has its rules as such as only programming language does but that doesn’t mean that mistakes are impossible.

    The vast majority of errors are logic errors not memory leaks in standard functions.


  • I’m completely confused by why they seem to think it’s impossible to have coding errors in rust. I’m also confused as to why they seem to think that errors are actually a problem. You get them you fix them. Who cares about what language you do it in.

    This stinks of somebody who’s been in the industry for about 2 years and now thinks they’re hot shit.

















  • The West was making real inroads with Russia before Putin came along.

    It’s the same with every dictator there has ever been, they have to manufacture a war in order to justify their iron fist.

    Capitalism isn’t the best by any stretch but one of the things it’s good at is making people realise that they will be much better off financially cooperating than having a pointless little war. War generates profits for the military industrial complex, but for everyone else they cost money.


  • Trickle down is based on the mistaken assumption that rich people will spend all their money in the local community. When often they don’t spend their money at all and just save it, and when they do spend it it’s on expensive yachts in Monaco. They’re not contributing to the economy in which they live.

    The millionaire class were delighted when they saw this idiotic take and pushed its narrative knowing full well that it would be to their advantage.

    I don’t think I’ve ever heard it called a trickle up economics but yeah, it would work because most people have no choice but to spend locally. If I got some money from the government I would buy food in the local supermarket or get my house redecorated by a local tradesman.

    Various tests of UBI have shown that it doesn’t really increase laziness beyond the base level it was already at, after all it’s mostly the rich who are lazy anyway, as they’re the only ones who have the resources. All it really happens is people want more time off work because they can subsidise their income with UBI, but that is an expected and desired outcome as it means more people will be employed to cover the difference which gets more people in work and therefore paying taxes.
