- dragosmocrii 6y agothis comment is underrated
- ralusek 6y agoMarkets are garbage collected.
- cambalache 6y agoYeah, but that scheduling!
- pbourke 6y agoThe market can leak memory longer than you can stay solvent. Or something.
- hinkley 6y agoA full garbage collection can be a brutal time.
- dan-robertson 6y agoI realise this is a joke but there are economic reasons to expect stocks to go up in real terms on average in the long term. Investing in the long term is not a zero sum game.
- zymhan 6y agoNo one here said anything to the contrary.
- mvanaltvorst 6y ago> solve [...], otherwise everything will keep going up This implies that markets going up is a problem that needs to be solved.
- hahahahe 6y agoThat used to be case when you had to clear certain hurdles to IPO and stay listed. With the recent SPAC craze you no longer have to meet any of those. All you need is a credible narrative. In that environment, no, you shouldn’t expect stocks to have positive returns. Long-term positive return in stocks is purely a function of required rate of _cash_ return. But if an underlying business is never meant to ever distribute cash back to investors, the stock is worth exactly ZERO. In other words a ponzi scheme.
- felipap 6y agoYou shouldn’t expect EVERY stock to have positive returns. Unless the bad stocks to which you're referring become a considerable part of the market, you should still expect stocks, on average, to earn you real interest.
- jldugger 6y agoThe borrow checker is still busted tho.
- berkes 6y agoI know you are joking. But asides from the securities offered by the typing system and borrow checker, Rust (and Go; and maybe others to some extend) have going for them is that the compiled binary is "OOTB". I'm on ubuntu, and it seems all python tooling is there to start running Gamestonks Terminal. But more often then not, getting a Python, Nodejs or Ruby project running requires a lot of fiddling, insider-information (what is npx, why did pipenv just break my entire desktop, why is this 'rbenv' thing giving these weird 'RVM' errors?). A rust project: download it, unzip it, run it. A very short Daft Punk song, really.
- unixhero 6y agoDaft Punk has split up, so it is no longer a valid meme.
- infairverona 6y agoAren't PAR files meant to address that?
- berkes 6y agoProbably. As would appimg or snap or any other packaging. But all of these don't make the packaging easier, they merely move the complexity of such setups from "all users" to "the devs". Which helps a lot. But it's still easier if no-one has to deal with this.
