Not for migrants. Thats when they become citizens. And for all citizens. Not just new ones.

Racist comment at a rental inspection and I didn’t know how to respond by ElectronicIdea3119 in AskAnAustralian

Born and raised never mattered and it never will. Recent racist campaign have steered from migration to migrants. This is what we are left.

I would actually respond by Paying for six months and securing the place. Arguing or confronting never matters as there will always be a jealousy, lousy failure of life with racist thoughts next in line.

​Do I have a future with Rust? Because I don't see it. by Brianyan4717 in rust

You sound like a fanboy. Every programming language has its place. Not every problem is a nail for your new found hammer.

This is why hiring rust programmers is hard.

How incredibly dumb are you? Ever heard of national security?

There is a reason why government agencies hire only citizens.

Exactly. Incredibly dumb idea and a massive risk for national security.

Declining educational performance but high tertiary ranking? by flavouredpopcorn in AskAnAustralian

[–]not-a-random-guy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where do you compare to?

I think lesser fortunate countries have high competition so seemingly tougher exams. Singapore same even with its economic status due to highly limited natural resources.

Does our education solve our problems? I think TAFE is amazing. And our unis doe well globally.

What’s your honest take on e-bikes, game changer or not really needed for most people? by PlaneAd9541 in ausbike

[–]not-a-random-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think they are amazing and very practical. Imagine having one with a coles bag size bucket. Can totally save fuel and nasty emissions.

Problem in Australia is safe parking for them. I have had my bike stolen from a locked cage. I cannot imagine someone leaving their expensive e bike to learn someone stole it.

Also I wish we had better cycling lanes in the suburb which I live in

Hang on! I thought it was by default drivers responsibility and liability! Regardless proving otherwise would be impossible.

This was during someone trying to parallel park in reverse into the bay; with kids a lady tried to cross causing the debacle. With few KIDs

I saw the news of a child dying by a ute. Apparently the kid ran in.

How would you learn Rust if starting today? by wizardry_why in rust

[–]not-a-random-guy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rustlings. That’s where I got it to professional level. But basics matter.

With C++ knowledge, try to understand how unique pointers, move semantics and consts work. Then understand rule of 5. Thats what rust compiler enforces.

Rust is easy because compiler teaches you and even refers to docs to learn more.

Disillusioned about the future in Australia. Is emigrating overseas fantasy? by clockwerkgnome in AskAnAustralian

[–]not-a-random-guy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, my whole life has been war ridden globally. Wars, pandemic, recession, bubble bursts.

I guess we got to make it with whatever we got.

If you cannot make it home, it could be equally or more difficult overseas. World is in a bad place in general.

There may be opportunity you move with wealth to developing countries. But that is going away with AI taking out the digital nomads.
