People will do anything except actually try Elixir. :D ...I mean: pipes, immutability, transparent mega-parallelism... helloooo? I tried F# some years ago (after I was fired from a shop that decided they will go all-in on Java and F# and dr

Quite fascinating. Did you write about your experiences in that area? Would love to read it!

Both are true, separately in different situations. And sometimes both at the same time. There are a lot of useless employees out there. So, so much. And a ton of bullshit jobs as well.

Would love to see a more detailed write-up on this way of using Dagger.

Since we already have excellent tools that follow the UNIX philosophy then I would opt for being a LEGO assembly guy by combining these: - Management of backups themselves: borg / restic (or rustic) / duplicati / duplicacy et

Yeah, this. The data I am most concerned about is not even 1GB after compression. That's all my $HOME configs and all my projects I am working on. Then I have some open datasets I like to fiddle with (mostly *.sql.zst compressed DB dum

Yeah, same. Pointing at some loonie on Twitter who would be flagged out of existence here on HN is not an honest argument in the direction of "look, Rust fans are zealots!". I mean, by that logic, people of my nationality would ha

No. He should be ashamed because he generalizes, realizes it, admits it and doubles down on it. That's not objective. That's just being stubborn. I can get those kinds of opinions in the local bar. I come to HN for higher-quality

> By claiming they are hard-working, you are generalizing. It is usually only a couple or few that are actually hard-working people, but then again, I am generalizing because I do not know, I do not wish to actually claim to know. Fair

by pdimitar 2y ago
Well, I don't generalize it and claim it as a truth. That's why I had a heated exchange here. Appreciate the perspective however. It's helpful.

English is not my mother tongue and while I speak and write it quite well, such nuances escape me. Thanks for the clarification. Appreciate it. <3

I share your disappointment. I explained it for myself with this: nobody cares if we the netizens have our data backed up. The corps want it for themselves and they face zero accountability if they lose it or share it illegally with others.

by pdimitar 2y ago
And I didn't say this was about Rust the language. I said many times it's not OK for you to generalize an entire community of hard-working people. It will never be OK. What is actually funny in our exchanges is that I don't e

I am not upset with anything. That would imply I care what you think. What I dislike, if we can even call it that, is that you misrepresent intentionally and are falling victim to extremely easy to avoid ego trips like claiming that your an

You can swear on anything, does not make it any more true. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ All you do is defend very anecdotal evidence. Surely you can see this is not logically compelling.

by pdimitar 2y ago
I see the issue. Biased people like yourself don't belong in tech. For the record, I only picked Rust 5-ish years ago out of a 23 years of career. I know plenty of other languages. I was a skeptic at the start as well. Never generalize

Where do you see emotional reaction? All I do in each reply is point out how you generalize and get surprised that you are being called out. No emotional reactions. Show me where they are?

by pdimitar 2y ago
- Insult a group with generalization - Members of the group respond non-kindly - "Help! I am being repressed!" I mean, maybe you should try more balanced take next time. Just a thought.

One lunatic. Not a community full of them. I've been communicating with the "community" for years. Worst I saw was 2-3 people like the one you linked to, and a few more on Rust Users Forum that can be a bit gatekeep-ish at

Very weird. Maybe you can point us at these "every interaction" so we can see for ourselves? Toxic people are everywhere on the net. That's not an interesting insight. If you point us at some lunatic on Twitter who loses thei

What I find toxic is the claim of zealotry when I can't see any, not on HN anyway. So I called the poster out to show proof. So far there's none, except one Twitter post (because we all know that's the best technical discussi

I am hopping on Rust threads on HN very regularly and I have to tell you my anecdotal experience. Which is: people complaining about Rust zealots are much more than actual Rust zealots. Thinking of it, I haven't seen a proper Rust zeal

Even 5% on a hot path are quite the big gains, actually. Furthermore, they said that they did not expect any performance gains. They did the rewrite for other reasons and got the unexpected bonus of extra performance.

You sound pretty biased, gotta tell you. That snark is not helping any argument you think you might be doing -- and you are not doing any; you are kind of just making fun of Rust, which is pretty boring and uninformative for any reader. Fro
