The foundation controls Rust in the same way Oracle controls Java. This link is not tenuous. Are you asserting that the compiler team would never be able to be compelled to act against the interests of its users? Furthermore, that there&#x2

I don't like even the whisper of anything that resembles telemetry. Can someone explain the counter argument? A compiler is as low level as it goes. There is an assumed level of competence with someone using a compiler. Why is it bette

I know several healthcare professionals with permanently screwed up backs because a patient was falling and they went to catch the patient. Much like an I-beam falling on you, you don't always get to pick and choose what you have to de

Adding to this it also seems like such a small thing to do in the grand scheme of things. Let's say not microwaving your food in plastic removes 10% of your yearly consumption of plastic. That's extremely generous. You still have

I think this is unnecessarily reductive. When your day job is programming and you have strict sprint deadlines you don't have the hour or two it might take to leisurely stroll through manpages. Quickness is a result of industry demand

The rudeness stems not from moderation but drive-by insults in comments and rapid dupe marking. That's covered in one of the several answers to the topics.

"Hey man have you tried going a couple days without smoking weed?" is not interrogation. It's concern. I don't understand this attitude. Do you not care about the people around you? I'm not smashing my friend's

Nah, SO is really toxic. There are plenty of examples and probably dozens of blog posts illustrating it. It took two seconds to find two of MANY meta posts [0][1]. In fact one answer to the posts here illustrates what looks like at least a

I don't care what people do. I'm not a "karen". I'm reflecting the OP's post. Addiction is addiction and we are talking about it. I'm sorry my opinion is not to continue to let people who have a problem ha

Ever since it became legal I have friends who spend majority of their day high. Of course, when confronted, they say it's not addictive and they dont have a problem. As we know this is the first sign of a very serious addiction. It&#x2

Sounds like you made all the right choices. You spent $200k on a degree which awarded you a job that allowed you (with some expected struggle) to pay it off. Congratulations.

Regardless, PTSD is a terrible term because it's non-descriptive. It also makes it more difficult for a person to be empathetic to a sufferer of PTSD because it's not an on/off switch and more of a spectrum. A term like &quot

It's been around a lot longer. We've called it Shell Shock, War Neurosis, Battle Fatigue and several other things. It's well documented. PTSD, imo, is just another layer of indirection when referring to trauma. It's name

Honest question, is there any cryptocurrency that provides actual value to people? The blockchain can be trivially deanonymized from my understanding. It's difficult to get coins without at any point revealing your identity. So, if you

My linkedin views are basically rock bottom and the twice-daily recruiter spam has stopped entirely. From my assessment of my network anyone who lost their job is looking, or has been looking for a long time. The market is effectively dead.

Might be better to preface this was that explanation. Something like "interesting it didn't hallucinate" and summarize the response. When it's copy-pasted verbatim it looks like spam.

I don't know if people think these posts are useful but they are starting to become tiring enough to be spam. If I wanted ChatGPT's response I'd ask it.

I use a text editor daily. I see no revolutionary methods being added to text editing that could ever justify me paying monthly. Even something as simple as a calorie counter has a monthly charge for features that never change (MyFitnessPal
