It's probably RDD (resume driven development). It's always fun to rewrite in the latest new hype, and I don't have anything against Rust - I think it's great in the domains it is targeting.

Always funny to see OOP being thrown around like it's some sort of bogeyman. C++ is OOP, so is Rust (minus inheritance), yet both are as fast or faster than C.

Just because Islam has God and Paradise as a fundamental aspect does not mean that you can conflate its presentation of God with the rest of the religions, which is my point. His argument is extremely brittle and laughable.

I mean, the grand poster is literally citing marxism. People also don't seem to learn from successful examples in history. Islam requires a 2.5% almsgiving/charitable contribution that is calculated on certain categories of wealth

In addition to what the other reply posted, Java has had compact strings for a while now[1], which uses 8-bit `byte` arrays for `String`s, and comes in handy for ISO-8859-1/Latin-1 strings to use a single byte per character. [1] https

This is the same mistake that golang did.

Your instinct is correct about being suspicious about how this dogma is being forced. According to James Tour, behind closed doors the conversation is very different, and people admit to things that they would never in public. As per anothe

The point he's making is that the fallacious argument can apply both ways, so it is not something that can be used to argue for either side.

We know that truth extends beyond what can be empirically proven. Meaning that just because something cannot be proven empirically, does not mean that it is not true. Furthermore, truth is not limited to what can only be empirically proven

It's not just nuances, it's entire straw man fallacies. They don't understand basic Islamic tenants and claims, let alone advanced topics like Kalam, and then they attempt to argue against it, making a mockery out of themselv

This was just a short clip that has English captions. He refuted Dawkins' book in a longer series on his main channel, but I don't think it has English captions. He is an expert, no need to be dismissive.

As a Muslim, I've seen Dawkins make very basic and laughably incorrect claims about Islam. It clearly shows he has extremely shallow knowledge about what he claims to criticize. Niel DeGrasse Tyson is also guilty of the same. Here&#x27

One thing I noticed in many North American houses is how the kitchen is "open" directly to the living room/dining room/etc. It seems that most houses do not have doors that you can keep the kitchen closed while cooking a

One can imagine anything, including unrealistic and baseless things. Reality, however, is different. This is evident by the many people who carefully studied his biography and ended up embracing Islam (some of them being heavily anti-Islam

It wasn't my call on what they did, and they had their reasons (running one of the largest golang monorepos on the planet). My point was to show that this is a build tool issue, not a language issue.

Junior as in non-expert in the field. Using simplistic languages means optimizing for quickly pumping out code (at the expense of maintainability in the case of golang, as I've personally experienced at an employer that has one of the

Any language with exceptions, checked or unchecked, will not allow errors to unintentionally get swallowed unless you write explicit code to do so. Rust and Zig's error handling also has the same property. This comes from experience wo

Java now has records, record patterns, pattern matching, and switch expressions. Things that the golang author still don't seem to understand the need for (quite ironic for a language that claims it makes concurrency easy).
