Interesting, I have been skeptical about .net as a platform, is it really open and doesn't lock you with microsoft in any way?

Go, C# and .Net? And here I am wishing for typescript-like language for backend systems.

I can't prove it in scientific ways, the thing is at some point scientists defined an atom as something indivisible, today we know they study sub atomic particles, and even finer things, waves or strings or whatever. In the same way 100 years from now our science will look primitive, physics will be few levels deeper, but there always be the next thing. Its like a pattern of nature.

I'm saying this from a perspective of practicing powerful spiritual practices and having certain experiences. They actually make one experience infinitive nature of consciousness, and somehow realize this is the way everything is made.

Even human perception is able to peek into the infinite nature of things, not the intellect though, the intellect can only work with limited and defined "things".

It's unknowable through current means of science. There are ways to experience that, I did some of them so I'm talking from my experience. And no, I can not prove it, if it was provable like that it would be already done.

Reality does not have amount of details, it is infinite in all directions. Its only that we perceived certain amount of details, some more some less. One can spend their whole life mastering a single aspect and there always will be room to improve.

I'm not defending it, I'm saying "cringy sexist bullshit" is just a modern liberal western take. It could have been something like "people might see it problematic", and I agree with that.

I don't think I have that, really

Thinking and doing is not the same.

people who objectify groups of other people

What is the objectification here exactly?

you do not seem particularly open to criticism either.

Right, and how would you know that? Just make sure you make your opponent look bad and you win the argument - this worked in school, not sure why try to do it here.

Its the plague of western people thinking they have the moral high ground over other cultures and nations. In the place where I grew up this kind of scene would be considered normal. But you must be the one who dictates what is right and what is wrong, don't you?

Comments on the internet are also optional, yet you do it

Nice one, what I noticed is that out of 4 options 1 wrong is just something looking similar in letters, and 2 options are opposite meaning of each other - so actually the choice is 1 out of 2, not 4.

Also many highest difficulty words are actually combinations of multiple smaller words which makes it easier to guess, I got more right in expert/grandmaster than in advanced.

when everyone and their dog are either vibe-coding with Rust or constantly shouting about it's superiority, I've lost any interest in the language

None of this makes Rust worse as a language

You assume that its used to show advantage, but we are on a technical forum and for me, as an engineer, its always interesting what language or tech was used to create a project.

I don't understand non-breedable part, mosquitoes are a part of a food chain as everything else, surely you don't think eliminating them will have no consequences?

In my experience there are many problems with significant whitespaces, things like copying pieces of code require much more work, when indentation actually changes the logic you can not ask your tool to do it automatically - because there is no single right way to do it. Tabs vs spaces can also be a problem.

Readable syntax with mandatory indentation is a very questionable idea. For me its easier to understand that something ends with a specific designation, not with a lack of it. Indentation should be solved by formatter and not the language.

And I don't quite understand the memory model, is it something similar to Rust?

Now with AI I find myself in need for a space that can combine multiple repos into a single "project". For example for debugging an issue across the system, or asking it to verify if FE/BE communication schema has any mismatch, or describing the complete feature flow from one end to another.

Is Cate's canvas per git-repo or can I add multiple?

Define ugly

Interesting story showing how complex todays tech is, and your whole security plan can be compromised by regexp matching rules.

I see this as a much more solid and mature take than those who "boo" about AI taking their jobs.

I have no idea, in theory it might catch some miss-configured agents off-guard

That's the smartest thing I saw in quite a while

Did I say that there is no greed in LLM sphere? English is not my first language, still I'm pretty sure I didn't say that.

AI has nothing to do with laziness or greediness. It makes things more efficient - and given that our time is limited strive for efficiency is a good thing.

This is the thing - you define things "that matter" based on how they valued in terms of monetary compensation or social approval. But there are people who just enjoy playing a piano, there are people who just enjoy learning things.

We see hobby as an inferior thing because there is a "real" job to do that earns us money. Once its gone - you have to find what to do with all that time, and then hobby becomes a real thing.

We will have all the time to spend on what we like, simply because there is nothing else to do. Assuming the basic things will be covered by UBI or something like that.

WILL AI TAKE MY JOB?

At this point I don't think its a concern, I think its going to happen sooner or later.

1st world countries have a bunch of support programs for the unemployed/homeless, so its not the end of the world. 3rd world countries are more or less used to live off the land, I guess village lifestyle will make a comeback.

Once enough jobs are lost then social and economic structures will change. I don't know how exactly, so I'm just working on my skills, maybe some of them will be useful.

Do you really think a 20 years old that is afraid of not finding a good job today

Someone who is afraid won't care about anything. The question is why are they afraid? Finding "good job" was never a guaranteed thing, its always better to prepare for the worst case, like having a basic job or no job at all.

I see AI exactly as what will help future generations, the possibilities it provides in terms of learning, research, analysis are huge.

It confusing to me how people complain about jobs - there is no guarantee that any job will be there forever, there is no guarantee that current social and economic model will be there forever, things always change, you have to adapt, there is no other way.

I can't put Java into good languages category at least for how it allows null to be everywhere.

Since when is Rust a systems programming language? On their website it is defined as "general-purpose programming language".

Approaching every problem as a systems programming problem is a massive waste of resources and intellect.

If someone took their time and decided to use Rust maybe their first couple projects won't be as efficient, but they will learn the language and how to use it in the best ways, they will contribute to the ecosystem, etc. Again, I'm looking at the big picture and not specific project case.
