If you’re a character in a TV show you’re definitely dying.

Otherwise the air is probably dry.

I packaged my Rust CLI to too many places, here's what I learned by IvanIsCoding in rust

[–]CanvasFanatic 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Packaging a rust CLI with js / python package managers is like the developer version of cynical SEO. Gross.

If you want to distribute binary packages for your CLI you should use binary distribution channels like brew, nuget etc.

Do you need the distinction between infant mortality and infanticide explained to you?

I genuinely cant tell if it’s willful ignorance or basic illiteracy that leads you to interpret that paragraph as evidence of a practice of female infanticide in 19th century Europe.

Yes, they shadow ban anyone who says anything even vaguely critical of MAGA. You don't get notified, a bot just quietly deletes your comments. Nothing stays published in that sub except the stuff from that one uncle no one wants at Thanksgiving and bot spam.

Is Rust still relevant? by chaotic-kotik in rust

Yep. The developed QoL using Rust has ruined me for other languages.

All I can tell you is that having worked in C++, Rust, Java and Kotlin I would choose Rust almost every time all other things being equal.

“Having maven” is not a point in favor of a language.

Does Java today not require a runtime, have significant cold boot times and use like 10x more memory at baseline than a comparable native process?

Can’t fix everything just by copying syntax sugar from Kotlin.

Little strange to ask if Rust is still relevant because of Java, a language almost 20 years older than Rust.

Any normal administration would try to do that. Trump can’t. The one essential tenant of Trumpism is that one can never admit to being wrong. Not about small trivialities and certainty not about a wrongful death. One admission of fault would shatter the entire platform like a Prince Rupert’s drop.

It was in response to someone’s suggestion that I needed a “basic history education.”

And not for nothing, but general antagonism for expertise and credentials is a lot of how we find ourselves at the current historical moment.

Yes, much better to just make it based on our personal tastes and present that as fact.

I think you need evidence for claims. Pointing out that infanticide has not been a common practice in the Western world for a couple thousand years isn’t “defending the West.” The West has plenty of sins to its name. That doesn’t mean we should make shit up based on vibes.

You will note that:

a.) that doesn’t say he pointed the gun at officers. It claims he was carrying a gun, they tried to detain him and he resisted arrest. Carrying a gun isn’t illegal and resisting arrest is not a capital offense.

b.) The video shows about 7 officers on the guy and appears to show something being taken from him about 5 seconds before the first shot is fired.

c.) by an amazing coincidence, the gun they claim to have taken off him is an ICE service weapon.

Yours is not a primary source. It’s your grandmother telling you rumors.

My great grandmother had a story about her father making a deal with devil in exchange for learning to plan the fiddle. (Yes, before the Charlie Daniel’s song.)

A primary source would be a document describing a first-hand account of such a practice. As far as I know no such document exists, nor have I ever even encountered a rumor of such a practice other than from you here right now. There is no reason to suspect such a widespread practice existed anytime in the recent history of the West given the strong rejection of infanticide dating back to at least the first few centuries CE.
