Welcome to the wonderful world of "Show HN"
I don’t get this same feeling on all ShowHN posts. Most of them, especially for individual projects like this, are supportive critiques of the thing being “shown”.

I know you are joking. But asides from the securities offered by the typing system and borrow checker, Rust (and Go; and maybe others to some extend) have going for them is that the compiled binary is "OOTB". I'm on ubuntu, and it seems all python tooling is there to start running Gamestonks Terminal. But more often then not, getting a Python, Nodejs or Ruby project running requires a lot of fiddling, insider-informa…
Aren't PAR files meant to address that?

#247Is it just me, or is the feel of the comment on this post different than other HN posts? There are a lot more snarky jokes. A little more combative. It feels like why I stopped reading Reddit. I hope it doesn’t metastasize to posts on other topics.

It's the best scene in the movie. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qo1OSqBQYmk
Reading the comments, I'm struck by how I read this scene totally differently to most of them. I see an overworked, annoyed young analyst sent to deal with two rich kids (starting a hedge fund with money they made 'taking boats down the river', then skipping the ISDA requirements by calling their neighbour) who are wasting everyone's time by not even doing the absolute minimum research -- it was 2006, just Google ISD…
I think the issue is that they're bespoke transactions so the credit support required may change depending on the context.
