We spend a huge amount of our time talking about and reasoning about time. Destroying the meaning of all of the language we've built up is pretty significant. More importantly, it basically ensures that all that terminology will be v

With timezones: * I want to call my friend in Germany. What time is it for her? I guess I'm UTC-7 and she's UTC+1, so she's 8 hours ahead of me. I know that everybody around the world typically wakes up between 6 and 9 AM

I'm not saying it doesn't exist. I'm just saying I've seen way more griping about Rust evangelists than I've seen actual Rust evangelists. For every crazy Rust post like that, I've seen at least 5 of people c

You said Rust evangelists are toxic and exaggerating. I said that I've seen the more of the same in the other direction, and I'm the one striking back with literal ad hominem, and "shallow-minded and toxic"? My respons

You use an alias or a persona to mask your identity, just as you use encryption to mask information. Keeping something intentionally hidden, either via an alias or encryption, is not dishonest nor unethical. I do not prize winning. I&#x27

That's my point. Saying that there's an unethical dishonesty to using an alias or an entire persona is missing the point that it's actually unimportant, and behavior is the only thing that matters. I was responding to a com

It's less about "big projects" and more about "what features are used". It's entirely possible for a 10kloc project to take much more time to build than a 100kloc project. Proc macros, heavy generic use, and
