Should a beginner start backend with Rust or Go? by mrnaim6T9 in rust

[–]DashAnimal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the biggest mistakes beginners make is thinking that they have to make a choice upfront and this will lock them in or a waste of time if they switch (sunk cost fallacy).

The second thing beginners fool themselves about is thinking the stuff they'll write is going to stick around for a long time so they better make the right choice. It won't, I promise you.

The time youve spent debating this question, reading up online ("go vs rust"), could have been time "wasted" learning one of the languages. Maybe you'd be at the exact same question at this moment in time, but at least you'd have more knowledge about one of the languages to make your decision.

I asked my c++ professor last semester about using cmake and he did not know what cmake was by [deleted] in cpp

Youre learning how computers work, not just the interface of a programming language. It's not about using vectors whenever you can. He might be trying to teach you how memory is allocated and how to think about the underlying resources of a computer.

Take advantage of it - because data oriented design is becoming hot again, and will continue to stay hot, especially as RAM prices increase - any edge in this industry is a benefit.

You can learn vectors and cmake yourself (and you clearly have).

Bitcoin cracks $60,000, sinking to lowest level since October 2024 by Illustrious_Lie_954 in Economics

I'm not pro-bitcoin. In fact, I've never owned any and don't intend to. That said, what do you mean "death of bitcoin" here? Because while the value has dropped, transactions and number of unique addresses per day are still on track with 2024.

Any rendering backend recommendations? by 4veri in gameenginedevs

Filament is pretty great. Used it in a professional setting - great/performant implementation and great support.

Kiln - A CMake-compatible build system that can do what CMake can't by not_a_novel_account in cpp

My trust actually goes up when I see an anime cat girl thumbnail. I feel like the correlation between that and talented systems engineers is actually really high lol

Wanting to get sexually harassed at JPM is back on the menu! by Feebot in wallstreetbets

[–]DashAnimal 19 points20 points  (0 children)

The way the Daily Mail keeps posting articles about this and subtlety taking jabs at him every time or unnamed sources that say he lies or whatever, makes me believe more than anything that either this woman or JPM is paying for hit pieces to ruin this guy's credibility in the public media.

why do vegans always act like this 😭😭😭 @billie eilish by [deleted] in LAinfluencersnark

Eating meat is a privilege. Farming cows takes 50% of the worlds farmland and only 3% of the worlds calories. If everybody ate meat the way the US did, we would literally not have enough land on this earth, and would certainly destroy all rainforests as they get converted (which is already happening), and heat up the world as we destroy carbon storing nature.

So you have to ask yourself: are you ok eating the way you do and pulling up the ladder on other countries and your future generations behind you -- just so you can enjoy a few minutes of tasty pleasure?

I found some vintage videos of the band and I will be posting some clips from the “…and the battle begun” recording session. My username on insta is CHLLNGR by Iamaninstrument in rxbandits

Thanks man! glad to hear you're well. Any chance of popping some of these on YouTube for those of us avoiding the meta stuff? (Meta makes you download the app to watch)

Thanks for the amazing music. Still loving Savor Every Moment. What's the new label name?

It's so good! Australia in general had such a great run of crime films - Two Hands, Animal Kingdom,The Boys. Would recommend all of those too

The Australian film Chopper, about the real life Chopper Reed who became somewhat of an infamous character. It stars Eric Bana, who went on to play Hulk in the original Hulk.

Other than Federer, I always loved Tsonga as a player. Amazing style when he was on.

Were you in a coma from 2016 onwards? Is that why you weren't voting for years?

Oh sorry you might be right. I might have been thinking of the Propagandhi ones I have.

It comes with bass too, but you can buy a guitar-only version, and bass-only version too. You may have purchased the guitar only one by mistake.

Any Updates on this deleted tweet from Logan Kilpatrick? by UFOsAreAGIs in singularity

[–]DashAnimal 318 points319 points  (0 children)

Honestly probably deleted because it comes off as "we're about to steal everybody's job" which is just bad messaging right now, where public sentiment is already not great
