I’m not even sure what incentive they would have. We already have a huge problem with citizens not voting because they think their vote won’t change anything. Is anyone going to think “I’m going to risk going to federal pound-me-in-the-ass prison for me to spend my free time filling out a ballot box which will have a 0.000001% chance of having any effect”?

Anyone who cares about freedom should install Graphene OS now.

I’ll check those out!

Akira Kurosawa’s lesser known works. He’s most famous for films like Seven Samurai or Yojimbo, but his other films like The Bad Sleep Well are super amazing too. It’s a film noir movie with a strong anti-corporation message I bet would resonate with a lot of people here.

What’s awesome about it?

1. Macro syntax technically isn’t even Rust
2. This is definitely not average Rust code.

Hard disagree. Super beautiful.

I don’t do the accent with names. It reminds me of when people say croissant with a French accent or “Mehico” instead of Mexico - I get those are the pronunciations if you’re speaking French or Spanish, but IMO the rest of the sentence is English so just use the English accent / pronunciation.

I thought you are going to mention that she’s receiving an enormous amount of money from the government, even though she’s Republican.

I can forgive someone for now knowing who specifically enacted some bill or something, but being simultaneously against supporting people with government handouts while relying on $400K from the government to survive? Wtf.

Yep, we disagree. The world and technology especially is an extremely complicated place. IMO any complex system that is built upon “humans should just know all this complexity and keep it in mind all the time” is fundamentally broken.

I think you’re saying the same thing as what I am. If it’s more complex than what you may think, the language should guard against it. If not, it should make it simple.

Rust, for example, is the only mainstream language where it isn’t possible to read from a file handle after it’s been closed. Doing so is a compilation failure. This is just a general invariant of “how to use files”.

But you also don’t need to think about allocating or deallocating memory in Rust. It does that fke you automatically, even though it’s not GC.

JS can also be complicated when it tries to hide realities about the world. E.g. is a const array or object immutable? No, the pointer is. But pointers don’t exist! /s

I mean, this is correct in many cases, unironically.

It should be one of the core purposes of a programming language to help humans to write the code they intend. If a language doesnt do that then it’s bad.

If this were a normal, fairly subjective disagreement, I’d feel the same way.

If this were a medium level disagreement and they were objectively wrong, I’d also feel the same way.

Supporting Trump is stunningly, objectively wrong, and in doing so they’re basically doing the opposite of this. They’re supporting lots of people losing a lot more than their homes.

I fully support being happy about it.

I’m a big Sanders supporter and totally get where youre coming from, but facts are facts. Bernie is right a ton of the time. He can be wrong once in a while without it damaging his reputation. When someone’s wrong, they should be called out regardless of whether you agree with them the rest of the time.

Maybe i should start saying I make $90 billion a year as a tax optimization

That’s been debunked - we get so few minerals from water for our diet that it’s almost nothing anyway. Almost everything is from solid foods or non-water liquids.

Curious if anyone can weigh in on this - is there much benefit to having fluorinated drinking water if you brush twice a day with fluorinated toothpaste and rinse with flourinated mouthwash?

I distill all my drinking water, but it’s to remove PFAS and all the other garbage we’ve polluted the earth with. Not because of flouride.

If I punch you in the face, say you’re a stupid bitch, then tell you I didn’t mean it, wouldn’t that be enough?

A Nazi salute is a Nazi salute. It isn’t something you can accidentally do.
