Long term computer programmer, making my own library. American based. Far left politically. Politics centered around promoting use of paper ballots. Follows news about environmental collapse, political corruption in my country, human rights, science and tech.

  • Most people capable of murder do not care about their fellow humans; and those of us who could often lack means or have to protect others closer to home. They cannot just go away without harming others who need them.

    Once you get past all those filters it’s a very tiny percentage of people who have motive, means and opportunity. Most of those get unlucky.

    I’m more tickled than mad at your stuff, but even I know when I’m in a losing situation

  • Or maybe you are making some assumptions and really like rust; while lacking experience in memory management.

    I’m not saying anything about my code; but there are literally dozens of strategies you probably don’t know about that are used in a dozens of ways, if not hundreds, by millions of coders.

    I like rust well enough, but it manages memory based on opinions by some people. These opinions have trade offs. You are not familiar with that, and are attacking me.

    This reinforces my own opinions of people who push rust.

  • Yes and no? Both are large areas of land of scattered and mixed populations held together by political strangeness that is surprisingly robust.

    Both seem easy to understand , however in closer inspection are misunderstood by most, even by their own citizens.

  • I’ve probably been voting longer than you been alive. I’m so glad you could resolve my confusion with such bland, marvelous words, which shows a dedicated understanding of this very complex topic.

    I’m sure you looked at the 176,933 precincts in the USA that has over 100 voting systems, with numerous often contradictory practices, and mediums ranging from paper ballots to many other types including the very fancy touch screens. In fact I know you did. I will rest easy. Again, thank you for helping me

  • I am happy that you like rust.

    I also would like to point out there are many ways to manage memory. Not all of them are badly designed and hacked code done by stubborn people who just need to be saved

  • Trump and his allies in Congress are targeting the financial, digital and legal machinery that powers the Democratic Party and much of the progressive political world.

  • I think you do not understand what I mean, or what successful activism can do. Also, interestingly there is not one Tesla in my small town . And I cannot afford eggs. So, I guess I am all out of ideas.

    The other commenter here made the salient point about fund raising.

  • Progressives organize grassroots better than moderates. Third parties do even more grassroots.

    It’s beneficial to all should they start to get more exposure than liberals even if they loose elections; we, as a country, need new social grassroots to do anything real to get out of this mess here.

    There is no political or violent solution right now. It’s only the new activism which will restore law

  • Ok, I know this is a very scary situation, very dangerous and will harm all… but maybe this could boost more progressives ( the actual left) vs centralists (liberals)?

    Moderates have to use party funding as their majority source. They are business funded more so than the leftists.

    Leftists are better using other methods which cannot be blocked as easily, and there is flexibility here. They are traditionally starved of funds by the party too, so often scrounge anyway and will feel less impact.

    Also this could help promote third parties that are actually well intentioned and not used as spoilers to divide the vote in local politics

  • The more I observe American politics the more I realize all three countries you mention have more in common than many want to acknowledge.

    Especially the taboos about speaking of certain political truths. Americans are more Russian than most other countries

  • There Is No Method to Trump’s Madness. He’s Simply Insane.

  • The technology revolution hit the USA harder than many places because not only did most of the population change careers, but were able to be scattered more . There were more bonds of neighborhood and family broken, than most other countries.

    It certainly was an additional burden for many in the USA, and is probably the main reason the murder rate is higher than in the UK due the extra fractures of family and friendship structure over the decades

  • Where it gets difficult to estimate is when people die many years later from the effects.

    Even hurricanes are only recently understood to be a huge cause of mortality over a decade later. So where does one draw the line? When support structures in a society are destroyed by nature or man things happen years later.

    And then one had to decide how many a leader is directly responsible for, and how many subordinates acting on their own did.

  • Ignoring your rudeness now. It’s more like I’ve seen the same wheel invented a lot of times and can recognize most tech are basically equally functional.

    I used to make fun of cobol because it has no stack; I often wondered why such a language was ever popular, why it had so many lines of code. Now, I know there was a reason it worked, why it still is used, and can appreciate how people work with it.

    I’ve made a couple of my own languages nobody uses; so new and different languages do not overawe me as much.

    Any popular language, new or old, works well enough with it having strengths and weaknesses. Some have superiority in their libraries or ecosystems and not the core. It’s ok to choose a language based on this or that. It’s ok to mix and match languages together in one project because it’s how they talk together which makes it work, and in the larger scope of things it really does not matter which is used.

    I personally have nothing against any language, including rust.

    It’s a general trend to try to fit a specific language everywhere that irritates me, I tend to see that as a software nerd’s religion or politics instead of how much better that language is.

    And so, based on the above, is why proponents of their holy language irritate the crap out of me. And rust is certainly not the first to do that
