the whole article kinda reads like "i have a leak in the basement of my house in the pacific northwest. the solution? im moving to nevada" i dont dislike rust at all (infact, its rustler interop with elixir/erlang is great),

I think you've misread the article, specifically the purpose of the Brooks quotes. They're clearly not to denigrate anyone for wanting a more useful or convenient way of generating software--they're specifically about the &qu

maybe, but they're burning the compute regardless. it seems ostensibly likely that reducing the ROI for compute burnt will cause less compute to be burnt long term

Same here--same for some members of my immediate family as well. Had a few days in a row where I got virtually no sleep and wasn't tired, either. Haven't had any symptoms and am in a low-risk area though.

No, I don't think harassment in any form is acceptable. I do think the case of Hsu is worth using as an example here: an intra-university conflict; a group of grad students is petitioning for a professor that they believe is actively h

Unfortunate, for sure. The NYT has no real reason to post his name (as far as I'm aware--the tone of the article could affect that conclusion), so I'm not really sure why they'd dig their heels in here. Though, he really d

Your point about unsafe pointer handling in Rust is specifically what dissuaded us from using it in an upcoming project. It really feels bad prepending all of the code that you actually care about being safe with `unsafe`.

Literally all of vsyu's posts are submission links to either confluent or buzzsprout talking about Apache Kafka. No comments, just banal advertisement.
