People who say such things constantly make incorrect claims about AI authorship.

> The key thing here is not whether it's AI. The key thing is quality and signal. No one wants to read to a low quality human comment either. This is so obviously true to intelligent people (and is even a point made in the article)

Since macros just expand into code, how could you imagine that a macro is ever necessary?

> Optimisations such as inlining can mess with the cacheability of code-gen in all languages. The statement was about introducing type errors, not cacheability of code-gen.

This makes no sense at all. The "comparison" (it isn't one--it's a technical point; "fairness" is not remotely relevant--Rust isn't being attacked and doesn't need defending) is between a language wit

Sigh. Why do I even bother to point out errors in logic here.

I said "obvious" and "everyone". I think your level of paranoia is irrational, but in addition it's not required of everyone with those different experiences.

I probably shouldn't even legitimize this absurdity by responding to it, but no. And if the answer were yes, that would not validate the fallacious reasoning processes leading to this guess. Here's a hint: reread my comment, focus

"too" seems pointlessly judgmental. My early independence (a result of being the second child of parents without a lot of love to give) contributed to who I am, and I don't think I'm an inferior specimen.

But they said it's rude just to speak to them ... which is a factually erroneous characterization.

> it would seem an incredibly rude thing to do It's one thing to not want it and to be comfortable not wanting it, but viewing it as rude goes way beyond that and is not rational.

If it's obvious to you that everyone should be bothered by people being friendly then there's an error in your reasoning process.

You're not afraid of bothering them, you're afraid of rejection. But so what if they do? The fear isn't rational, so choose to overcome it.

Hyper-skepticism is quite selective, driven by ideology and partisanship. Some of the most successful grifters become the heads of political parties, governments, etc.

It's bad faith to call one's position in a dispute "obvious", and that's before we even get to all the insults. (What is obvious is the kind of response I will get, which is why I will ignore it and not comment furt

No, the shell author needed some way to distinguish file descriptor 1 from a file named "1" (note that 2>1 means to write stderr to the file named "1"), and '&' was one of the few available characters.
