Just to be clear, rust is not object oriented. You do not use inheritance nor do you have objects. There was a recent post comparing rust to haskell https://www.fpcomplete.com/blog/2018/10/is-rust-functional .

Did you forget the sarcasm tag, or do you really equate free markets with the made up "freedom" of polluting the environment and give cancer to everyone who in turn will have to pay for health care or just die? That is not what fr

I think when it comes to marijuana there is a real difference between using it every day and being truly addicted. I think the difference comes down to if you use it as medicine and thus medicate each and every day or if you use it as a dru

Why does using somehting everyday make you automatically an addict. Are really people who are prescribed and use anti-depressant addicts. I think its more similar than not. Using alcohol everyday on the other hand, that can make you addicte

Yes hstore is limited but since you can represent numbers and even hstore itself as text, all you really have to do is cast to and from text and then you have a nested structure with almost anything in it... jsonb is much better obviously b

Nice to see a good reading of Nietzsche, which is super hard given his style and your own bias. I agree with this, and it really puts the focus on why it is rewarding reading Nietzsche today. The only thing I miss is the implicit and hidden

I do not believe you at all. This kind of puritanism and any abstaining (from coffee, tobacco, alcohol, sex, drugs, entertainment, etc) should be a personal life choice. Not mandated by law. Drugs have been since since forever, and prohibit

Well the Title is "Containers". Punchline is about writing software or glue together things you dont understand. The mention of that hyped and also hilariously buggy product seems relevant. See https://thehftguy.com&#x2

Maybe true but I think the Java example is not that good. Java is still not that different from C. Java is more like a decendant to C and C++ - and to be honest both languages force you to pay attention to lots of irrelevant "low-level

Hmm yeah... I think I completely agree with this, the whole point of rust (for me) is safety and less surprises - the surprises tend to be misguided ergonomics. But is this a real danger now? Is the ergonomics initiative trying to make rust

Always felt Descartes kind of cheated himself with his very categorical denounciation of the body and the animals as mere thoughtless automatons. Leibniz and Spinoza (the other 2 of the 3 great 16th century rationalists) have more nuanced v

An incompetent government and corrupt politicians can ruin anything. Including their own immigration policies by being dysfunctional and in the end boosting the anti-immigration forces on the other end of the political spectrum. Interesting

Well yes! You might not have that option to not use it (too late). Just like this guy you (or your colleges) might actually have been fooled by curiosity and hype to write some code and put it in production, and when you realize how bad it

Everything C can do but better? Sure you are not confusing Go with Rust? Go does have a GC, not manual memory management Go can't interact performantly with other languages. Go is like Java (not C). Its kind of nice but deliberatley sa
