The most accurate words are actually derogatory. It's obvious but you miss the obviousness because of politics and the need to be polite. Your friend is just slow.

Inevitably a lot of people come here because they relate so a lot of you are slow thinkers who like to think of themselves as smart or different in a better way. It's the same phenomenon with so called "introverts." I hate to

I'm referring to a similar overlapping problem called C10k. http://www.kegel.com/c10k.html This was fixed at the OS level. But the usage of new system calls involved fundamental shifts in basically every language to ac

Don't be so pedantic. When people are dying and supply is low, "asking" for it is a valid move whether by the FDA or the president. The fact that it wasn't done is deliberate from both sides.

This is a authoritative government thing. Not a Chinese thing. The western government does the same shit. Their reach just isn't as far as the Chinese government in its ability to completely lock down the media. Instead the US governme

Rust has ADTs and it has exhaustive pattern matching AND it's not functional. It's arguably mainstream now. Haskell doesn't have exhaustive pattern matching it just gives you a warning.

I'm not referring to the challenge of coding with this style. I am referring to actual trade offs. It increases safety at the expense of modularity and expressivity by a huge amount. The trap door to get around it, is to implement the

I find the move semantics and borrow checker actually reduces expressiveness and modularity. You didn't mention this in your list of good features. I think these are the main hurdles preventing full on popularity. It's arguably n

Compared with C++ or C? No way. Rust is light years ahead of the curve in terms of usability. Perhaps you're comparing with languages outside of the domain like node or python? In that case it's actually not that far off in terms

The FDA would be asking for submission if that vaccine was from Europe. There was a huge supply side problem in the US in the initial stages of the pandemic and any additional vaccines could have alleviated this issue.

The US didn't allow the Chinese vaccine to be used either. It's Also because of ego across the board. It still isn't allowed in the US. There were definitely supply problems in the US in the beginning.

Nobody is standing up to the CIA for selling crack cocaine to American citizens. Nobody is standing up to biden for blowing up an oil pipeline. It's the same everywhere.

Yes, I don't completely disagree. But keep in mind. Every government including the US one, has ego.

I 100% agree with this. I'm Chinese (racially) so I know. That being said, it doesn't mean other "cultures" don't have the concept of "saving face". It's an inborn thing. Genetic. I haven't met
