I agree and think the same way. The "just make numbers go up" mentality of happiness is a fallacy. If this was the case, plugging everyone up to heroin hibernation machines would b…

I love Rust and use it everyday but the syntax bloat is something I will never get over. I don't believe there's nothing that could be done about it. There are all sorts of creativ…

Actually, I did not start by mentioning anything about years or what is up-to-date. You were the first one to bring up 1991 and current year as a derision. I believe you have a cap…

You are really obsessed with this 1991 stuff. And here I thought the common prejudice was that only boomers were still stuck using IDE programs. I think you believe yourself to be …

App store? A windows installer? So you just make user apps? Then publish them on existing platforms built by programmers who had to think about all the complexities you blissfully …

The point of not strapping a clunky IDE to my workflow is that a terminal offers flexibility and mobility that I (and everyone who programs in 2022. Maybe not you tho) need to fulf…

Mind you I haven't even mentioned the complexities involved in making dependencies optional, platform specific. I haven't mentioned conditional compilation. I haven't mentioned res…

I work mostly in terminal and won't use clunky IDE programs. I need to be able to 0. Export/upload my source 1. Import/download my remote source 2. Compile my source for different …

I want to make clear that I don't believe I was banned by a mod. I received enough downvotes that I was shadow banned by the automated system.

This place like all reddit clones is an echo chamber. I have to carefully manage my unpopular opinions lest I sink into shadow ban territory. Which has happened before and I had to…

I don't understand this sentiment. Rust is the only language ecosystem where I find that anything works at all. Whenever I have to build something not built in rust, I'm praying. W…

Christ this is beyond horrendous.

Just some randos out for a little assassination fun. Happens all the time in the world that a bunch of foreigners attempt a stupid but audacious assassination attempt right in the …

You stated that the west, in scare quotations, was only weaponizing commerce because of the exceptional circumstance being that the target was engaged in an invasion of a country. …

They didn't answer. This is a really tough one for them I see

They were better off when their sponsor was the world super power and neighbor. Now the South has that kind of sponsor.

No, the west has been monomaniacal and there is no reason to expect succeeding world orders to crusade the same way. Indeed, preceding hegemonies did not behave this way.

Venezuela. Iran . Afghanistan.

This type of psychoanalysis propaganda never ceases to amaze me. Reminds me of "The Arab mind".

This isn't just about them. This is happening to Russians with nearly every western based service. There are Russians stuck in the EU because their credit card company blacklisted …

Im going to report ycombinator to the Russian authorities. This thread has people advocating and planning terrorist attacks against Russia and it's being condoned by the moderators…

Spartan martial prowess wasn't anymore effective, individually or as a group than any other group of their time. Eating beef and raping slaves is simply not good enough reason to p…

It's not popular belief, it's popular culture. The onus is on the myth makers to substantiate their claims. The idea of super soldiers is anthological comedy. It's fantasy.
