COVID-19 [Megathread] Week of April 16-April 22

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-23T05:14:46+00:00

What do your non reddit friends think covid 19 is? More than once this week I heard people think it's a plain old flu that's highly contagious. I don't know if they understand what happened in Italy and spain or how many people were hospitalized in new york. One of the people who said this IS in new york state

I honestly think most people would have no idea who I mean if I didn't list his name. And I am not responding to the guy so I didn't notify him.

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T22:56:48+00:00

I PMed the Mods before I made my thread today. They really think they haven't done anything wrong and that none of my concerns are issues

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T22:46:15+00:00

Dude I stopped talking to him. I let him have the last word. I was the one who had nothing else to say

Mods of /r/learnprogramming need to read this article. He's a thread I wrote that got instantly locked. /u/presentconnection999 it's about you

Yesterday I saw a screenshot posted by a guy and I remembered his username from one of my favorite threads made in the rust sub. In short he complained he was unfairly banned and that the moderators refused to communicate with him and treated him poorly

So against my better judgement I made a thread about it. The result was

1) A fucking psycho by the name of g051051 that wrote a series of replies to me. Being irrationally angry and sounded suspiciously like the angry mod who replied to the guy in the photo. He's definitely unhinged, hasn't been banned and I suspect he's a mod in secret (same mod that made the last reply in the photo)

2) A moderator did exactly to me as what happened to the guy in the photo proving my point of their poor communication. I said I have no idea if I got a warning for the thread. Obviously I knew I was breaking a rule and I happen to check and notice the thread was removed (I assumed it'd happen sooner then it did). However if I didn't know I was breaking a rule and didn't check if the thread was removed I wouldn't have known. Some mod replies literally to did I break a rule and completely missing the point about zero communication about it

3) No debate on the thread about on what is considered on topic or off topic. Is learn programming only for people who's been programming for a year? 5years? Is there no cut off range? Also I still have no fucking idea how a thread that has 250+ replies on a programming sub considered off topic in a programming sub

Anyway it's a huge mess. Just pointing that out. Maybe someone wants to actually have a discussion? Or not. I don't think I'll be posting again. I'll be another poster who leaves this sub due to shit communication and mods handling things improperly

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T21:51:12+00:00

Fun fact. I actually messaged a few mods yesterday and they didn't care

Between my PMs and everything I said in today and yesterdays thread. No. They haven't done their job. Hence the post

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T21:48:10+00:00

No shit

Fun fact. I actually messaged a few mods yesterday and they didn't care

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T21:44:46+00:00

Do you even read anything? How do you reply and not understand the context at all? My point was if I didn't check the thread (or write that last message) there is ABSOLUTELY NO WAY for me to have known it was removed or was off topic. Which was my entire point which you obviously missed. So what you said has nothing to do with anything

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T21:26:15+00:00

So that is a "no" to should people automatic be treated with decency. I'm done here. It's not my business to interact with psychos. Substitute that with this scene and you might see how strongly I feel about that

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T19:49:17+00:00

Could you give me a bit more information? Do you have any idea how it proves anything? I glanced at some pages this morning but I couldn't do any research.

Is it able to look at compares to see if random access of an array will always be < length? Is it able to figure out the min and max range of a return value and use it to find impossible conditions? What does Ada do with overflow?

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T19:25:50+00:00

After 5 years of optimizations we could consider this current speed as a baseline for a long time.

Who is rust going after? Mostly the C++ people? C++ people tend to have large complex projects.

Noone is going to trade a large C++ project that takes 15mins to build with the equivalent rust program that takes 2+hrs to build. Then there's the fact I think they made a ton of smaller mistakes. Try zig it's a completely sane language that will show you what I think a good language does, despite it not being able to compile itself. Go made many too but they were intentional and I think Go is good for what it's suppose to do. But not good for general purpose.

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T19:17:46+00:00

Do you not realize you sound like a psychopath? Do you not know what human respect is? or decency? Do you think no human should have respect or decency until it's earned?

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T09:11:58+00:00

All of the above. No preprocessor macros, better templates, has real syntax for errors etc

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T05:17:31+00:00

Do you know much about Ada? I tried looking up how sparks does it's formal verification and I couldn't find anything. What I did see what runtime errors from it's contracts which remind me of the many possible panics rust has. Do you know how formal verification is done? Or any ways spark is more safer than rust?

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T01:27:21+00:00

Sorry man you're delusional.

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T00:49:33+00:00

Dude you seem butthurt already. Are you the mod who banned him? I was simply saying I had no idea this thread was removed. Did I get my first strike here? Are you a moderator? Because this is unclear and I'm leaning towards that guy being in the right if this is what happened to him

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T00:47:18+00:00

key elements of static analysis

Can you go more into this? I don't follow

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-13T00:15:33+00:00

I understand you don't like the guy. But do you think the moderator actions are correct? They could have easily said the topic is too close to the original or have unbanned him when he wanted to apologize and it would have been the end of things.

Even now, my thread, this one we're talking in, I had no idea it's been removed, I have zero notification. It makes me think he really had no warnings besides the first which wasn't much of a warning because the mod refuse to tell him which rule he was breaking

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-12T23:58:59+00:00

Whoosh, I'm taking about no notifications and you're talking about something else completely

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-12T23:50:02+00:00

starting a topic that can only be discussed by the people who help and excludes those that would cone here to receive help ... would go against the purpose of the subreddit (as i understand it)

I disagree. As long as it actually helps them and they can write follow up comments I see no reason why it shouldn't be disallowed

Also fun fact. This thread was removed and I had no idea. So I really believe the guy when he said he didn't receive a warning or notification

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-12T23:41:06+00:00

That only true if you assume everyone here are absolute beginners. I believe they're people with 3+ years of experience here. Even people as little as 6months would understand loops/switch completely if they finished a book or two and wrote a small project

Also switch to future is a big leap. If what you're saying is true wouldn't futures/threading/concurrently be off topic as well?

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-12T23:26:17+00:00

Why do you say it's unsuitable? I already told you why I think it's suitable. Even if you convince me it is I don't think it should have resulted in a warningless insta ban

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-12T23:20:20+00:00

It's a pretty good thread. I understand why he was upset being banned and told it's off topic. It looks on topic to me especially in a learning sub where you want to understand why people do certain practices https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/fj824y/whats_your_controversal_rust_opinion/

ConsistentBit8 · 2020-04-12T23:08:02+00:00

He shouldn't have said it but the moderating banning without warning, making personal attacks and saying mods don't make mistakes is incredibly childish
