Well there’s your problem :P every language has bad code examples

Even though most of the specifics you point to are wrong, it’s a good point overall:

Rust, being #1, should be better than all other languages. The fact that it’s just decent makes it seem overhyped, and all the downvotes on haters make it look like a cult.

Back when it was small, the cult-like following was OK. But now that the language is becoming more mainstream I think the Rust evangelizers need to tone it down a bit or they risk pushing people away.

On your point, TypeScript is a decent language too. There can be two good things.

In OP’s defense I have heard this said unironically by several engineers at my last job.

“Rust is going to replace JavaScript thanks to webassembly, so we should be moving all of our code to that.”

“Our client should be in the same language as our backend, just like in GWT”

Did you inline all those types just to make it ugly? Normally each of those subtypes would have been in a separate typedef, each with documentation.

Too long, didn’t read

If you’re the one working on this infrastructure, then why are the reports saying that it’s only 13%? Are you guys lying on the forms?

God damnit not this swill again. It’s not even close to triple, it’s like 15%. Read. The. Reports.

For real. Why does this misinformation keep spreading? I have the actual real numbers right in front of me now.

And it’s the same as what MIT Technology Review reported and what Google reported publicly.

The EU’s CSRD requires most of these companies to disclose their carbon emissions. So just go look it up, ya taints.

I see your concern, but in practice that’s not what happens in languages like Java and Python with exceptions. Not checking for exceptions is a choice because everyone knows you need to check in your top-level functions. Forgetting to catch is a problem that only hits newbies.

Oof, some of these comments. Sorry on behalf of the edge lords, OP.

But the entire point of Rust and Result is… to force you to make a choice of what should happen

Checked exceptions also force you to handle it and take way less boilerplate.

Zigbee or really any Bluetooth alternative.

Bluetooth is a poorly engineered protocol. It jumps around the spectrum while transmitting, which makes it difficult and power intensive for bluetooth receivers to track.

Yes. Supplier markup is 50% above cost, so set up a price watch and wait for it to go on clearance. You’ll get it 50% off.

I got mine new at Best Buy last year when they were clearing out M1 stock.

In summary, a bunch of 60 year old C developers with social deficits hijacking the conversation when he gives a talk or tries to get anything done. E.g. the link was people interrupting a QA session to complaining “I don’t want to learn Rust”.

This post was maybe true 5 years ago, but PC laptops have really started to suck. My macbook air was only $300 and it’s way better than my work’s $1k+ Dell laptop in terms of performance and battery life.

Feel free to add it to the list. It’s Wikipedia.

Cool, you should add those in and find some sources. It’s Wikipedia

The government had a warrant, read the article.

It’s just made confusing by the fact that the thief had signed into the victim’s phone, so it makes for a good clickbait story “police got the wrong guy’s data”

If by “when asked” you mean “given a search warrant with very clear evidence that this man had stolen a car”, then… Yes? I’m not sure what you’re trying to prove here.

The ex-boyfriend had signed into the guy’s phone. It’s not like the police just cast a wide net and randomly got his data.

Look I never said I disagree. My point to OP is just please don’t make up shit that straight up isn’t true. Pick a real issue, not some made up paranoia.

Re 1: People keep lumping Google with Amazon and Meta, but Google does not sell your private data and alerts you if it finds out the government to accessed your data. People keep assuming that because the general tech community sells data that Google does it too, but check their privacy policy or just ask anyone who’s worked there. They don’t.

User data at Google is locked up tighter than fort knox. That’s why the Snowden leak was such a huge deal, because the NSA was taking advantage of a security flaw that Google didn’t know it had to scrape user data. Google patched it immediately after they found out.

Amazon, Meta, and Uber, are much less scrupulous.
