the "political adversaries" (let's not be coy, you mean conservatives) who "don't trust 'the science'" are less equipped to evaluate said "the science" than the scient_ists_ they don't trust. usually said people were one bad day away from rambling about global jewry and such. due to whatever social illnesses or sociopolitical causes, we've normalized this position, and now measles is back from the dead. but let's pretend that climate change isn't real and the earth's flat and vaccines give you autism, because universities too woke or whatever the fuck

(it's very funny to pretend tech is still, or really much ever was, one big libfest. it's funnier to say this here of all places)


they have, v8 is a pretty fast engine and an engineering marvel. bun is faster at cost of having worse jit and less correctness

there are many "immortal" strains of cells that are mass produced and sold to labs, most notably "HeLa" cells. in this case in particular, "iPSCs" cells are used, sourcing skin cells or blood cells (with informed consent of the patient), and using those differentiated (or "specialized") cells to create pluripotent (or "less specialized") cells that can then be transformed into neurons

I'm not sure why people are so deeply scared. these are all pretty neat features for people who will need them (off rip seemingly mostly in the embedded world). It's not like the inclusion of these forces you to use them — I've never had to deal with unsafe rust for shipping web stuff, and I highly doubt I'd have to deal with most of these. For modeling's sake it would be nice to have pattern types and view types, I can see them being useful

People will push this crap into production codebases and link to these articles when you say you don’t want complexity. Best way to manage is to not make it possible, like go.

You indirectly deal with this kind of thing when compiling web server code too. It compiles super slow and can have weird errors. This is because the people who build the web stack in rust used a million traits/generics/macros etc.

Even if you look at something like an io_uring library in rust, it uses a bunch of macros instead of just repeating 3 lines of code.


3 lines of code that may need to change is much more complex than a macro that signals intent.

You can click the source code link and read the code here. Macros aren’t needed at all if every single operation isn’t a different type.


This was the exact same argument used to push new c++ features and look where the language is now.

you mean better than ever?

...a far better place than 2011.

I think part of it might be just that for modeling's sake it makes it clear when something can write vs only read the socket

its poetry, the point was probably making the thing

it's actively part of the text that the capitalization is not manually written, but hidden with the CSS `text-transform: lowercase`. kneejerk reaction superiority complex

yeah that's the trade off of having a state. the alternative is getting mugged and having to pay ExxonMobil Police Task Force sponsored by Verizon to get your shit back (or deciding it's not worth the cash).


i would not describe "today's era" as "hyper-regulation". we're actively removing regulation day over day

And replacing it with even more regulations.

either you have killer typing speed or your password isnt long enough or your fingerprint scanner is slow
