Please don’t get my hopes up. Adaptable people like me will outcompete hard in the post-engineering world. Alas, I don’t believe it’s coming. The tech just doesn’t seem to have what it takes to do the job.
> And the jobs which will remain will be impossible to get.
Exactly my thoughts lately ... Even by yesterday's standards it was already very difficult to land a job and, by tomorrow's standards, it appears as if only the very best of the best will be able to keep their jobs and the ones in a position of decision making power.
I think the F-150 is the most popular. I know many people don’t care about other’s subjective experiences, but it’s always such a mindfuck to my EU mind when I see trucks of this size.
Like my brain expects the car to finish, but there’s more car. Then it happens again and again in a quick succession. It confuses me, I shake it off. I look at the car again. The bed is empty, there’s one person in it.
Then I think „what’s the point”? And then I remember we grew up in different environments and have different expectations about how things should look like. And I still don’t fully get it.
Almost any large car will fit almost anywhere in the US, so you might as well get the car that serves even your most marginal use cases. Fuel costs are much lower than Europe, and Americans are relatively richer anyway.
From my experience, these trucks make much more sense on a road in the US. European roads are fairly small so these trucks look _even bigger_, whereas in the US everything is massive so the cars fit. Still, having to look _up_ to see the windshield is crazy and I hope it won't be normalized in the EU
I wonder if this is useful feedback to give? It would probably need to be more actionable. I’m hopeful the European open source community will take this invitation seriously.
I think that largely didn’t happen with Biden. But if it’s true then it makes divesting from US stocks a priority for countries targeted by the US administration.
People who make that kind of remarks should be called out and shunned. The Rust community is tired of discrimination and being the butt of jokes. All the other inferior languages prey on its minority status, despite Rust being able to solve all their problems. I take offense to these remarks, I don't want my kids to grow up as Rustaceans in such a caustic society.
> It’s hilarious that you feel the need to preemptively take control of the narrative in anticipation of the Rust people that you fear so much.
> Is this an irrational fear, I wonder? Reminds me of methods used in the political discourse.
In a sad sort of way, I think its hilarious that hn users have been so completely conditioned to expect rust evangelism any time a topic like this comes up that they wanted to get ahead of it.
Not sure who it says more about, but it sure does say a whole lot.
Rust feels a lot like Ruby (fancy/weird with a fanatical user base). Fil-C is a far more practical route to memory safety (a la Python in this analogy).
You need to go all-in on tea and make your own mark. Get a fancy Chinese teapot with holes in the spout to use loose leaf tea, and start getting snobby about traditional vs modern techniques of Pu'er tea, and you'll get your own brand of respect!
