Klabnik is a big voice in the Rust community. But regardless of how he might come across here; he is almost always positive and constructive when talking about the language. For that matter: the constructive part was in the other post whe

I'll admit I jumped the gun on that one.

My preference is to have unoptimized by default, unless there is only a negligible difference in compile-time between the two options. I mostly don't need optimized programs while I'm developing them. Alternatively, don't hav

"Just". What is "just" about being an electrician? Is it less than being a more conventional white collar worker, like some kind of administrator or manager?

It's weird that people that make benchmarks don't investigate which flags to pass for getting the most optimized build. Many compilers don't do max optimization by default. In particular, people making benchmarks with rust co

If they don't feel smart enough, that is just going to be compounded by joining a programming community. Smartness is the status symbol to these (us?) people, so get ready for a lot of subtle and not-so-subtle comparisons of people&#

So, Go is garbage collected and seems to rely on compiler optimizations for optimizing heap allocations to stack allocations (where applicable). Meanwhile, Rust is centered around manual memory management, discourages heap allocation if you

I guess you have to excuse him for not pursuing the particular status jockeying of nerds, namely working on the absolute most hard, cutting edge and exciting problems/domains.

So you're saying that I should, by the Principle of charity, just accept that your explanation is true and actually has some merit from a sociological perspective with no actual evidence? I don't think the point of that particular

Agreement with my own point of view, and also posts that are clearly contributing to the overall discussion. For down votes: posts that are clearly wrong and/or nonconstructive. Also to spite people I don't like. Oh, and I upvote

To have just one cluster IS messed up. It would be one thing if Italy had its own tech cluster, or even if all of Europe only had one cluster. I never said that "meatspace" (what a terrible term, btw) isn't important. But w

How messed up is "our industry" - internationally speaking - if succeeding outside of SC is a major feat? Or maybe it was more about succeeding in software in Sicily.

I'm sorry. Clearly some of the self-appointed smart people of HN were offended by my naive remark, uninformed by any research in cognitive science or other relevant discipline.

People who get into PhD programs should have the general intelligence to realize that every PhD candidate can not become a professor. It doesn't add up in any hierarchical organization like that.

What is your point? I'm saying that I simply pay attention in lectures; I don't use note taking or use my laptop. My laptop battery wouldn't last a whole lecture, anyway.

The reason for that was that it was the industry that framed the shortage in that way, to begin with.
