  • Disclaimer: Below is my weird effort to step in the shoes of an insecure person who attacks change and holds on to their ways as a means to maintain their appearance of superiority:

    The rust hate of this flavour feels more like its about shitting on “the left” and progressive ideas than about any kind of programming language intricacies.

    My reason for saying this is the reference to Lunduke, and then in an issue tracker where it is very easy and painfully obvious that its a dependency mismatch due to updates talking about “culture” as if breakages like this don’t happen daily.

    Rust is a community grown language that is inclusive. Which seems to irk conservatives who hate any kind of inclusivity or changing what’s cool and hip. C programming seems to be the unfortunate oasis that is corrupted and repurposed for enforcing delusions of grandeur and superiority complexes.

    Rust is the first popular answer to memory problems in C which the supposed “elite hacker 10x” privileged types were using as a yard stick to “other” supposedly “mediocre” engineers. Any yard stick can be used to beat people they don’t consider in their in-group.



  • I feel like it is not wise to discard the opinion of a layperson with this reasoning. Sure experts have been working on it as their day job vs. Us just looking at the fruits of their labour. But that doesn’t justify the assumption that they are infallible. Don’t you agree in our own areas of supposed expertise we are often corrected or get inspiration from supposed laymen simply because we have been too myopic about solving the problem ahead of us?



  • brother you’re using the wrong thing. First of all you are using crypto that’s going to give you some memecoins that are obviously going to collide after 55 hours as what are you even doing not rugpulling the thing day 2?

    Second of all, I am pretty sure you should use “RandomUUIDIToldYouSo” module for non-colliding hashes. We all know THAT thing gets its Noise from our parents’ instructions on doing a specific thing that keep changing arbitrarily every time you ask.






  • My understanding so far is:

    if business logic assumes a set of preconditions before a particular piece of code that the language/runtime/os satisfies… then it’s an immediate assert. Any kind of IO, memory creation and OS operations fall into this carefory.

    However if the business logic assumes something in its own domain and that assumption does not hold then its better to handle that instead of crashing. Ex. being you expect a queue to have at least one element in some pipeline and if it is empty then return saying nothing to be done.

    Edit: don’t assert/crash if your application is single process multithreaded unless you want your friend from accounting asking you why their stock ticker crashed just when they clicked a button in the coffee shop module of your app. Use some thread exit mechanism.





  • Hey man just because you got a threesome doesn’t mean its common.

    Spontaneous group happens in real life -> I agree.

    All the time -> I don’t agree

    There are people who seek it out

    But that doesn’t mean they get it “all the time”

    Unfortunately the difference between those two types of people defines the lens through which you define a “naive” person.

    And your lens is too much caliberated to view every encounter as an opportunity even if you don’t know whether the OP is actually into it or not, thus projecting your expectations into the scenario.


  • who is the thief here? One who wants outsized profit beyond 10 generations of children? Or the average overworked joe who hates dealing with the 3rd 2 minute ad on a 10 minute video?

    Maybe realise that there’s more important things to worry than denying “projected profits” from a billion dollar megacorp which steals regularly from people (in the form of bribing politicians to make policies that benefit them and disadvantage actual people, or destroying the earth for training LLMs, or stealing content to use for the same LLMs)
