Rust requires discipline too. I can go around using Arc, Rc and .clone() everywhere without upsetting the borrow checker, I can use let mut a bunch and pretend if, match, etc. aren't expressions. This results in worse code, and Rust didn't stop me.

The borrow checker prevents a set of errors from being possible, but it doesn't prevent bad code from being written.

You speak as though everyone on HN has the same attitude towards these things, but that's just not true.

There were naysayers then and there are naysayers now.

I keep seeing people all over the internet adding the caveat that the data centres are necessary in comments following stories about rollout (and often the stories themselves). But never why that's the case. So the question is why are more data centres necessary at the proposed rollout rates? What actually drives this demand?

Right, but which columns? The goal absolutely IS to select columns from a table. ie. my goal is not to select created_at, my goal is to select Foo's created_at.

I am grateful they left it at "inspired by python", as I find python with its libraries and all its warts strangely complex and indigestible. Then, from a tooling and ecosystem perspective, wildly frustrating and unfriendly to work with. So I'm glad they took the chance and made something that's tailored to their use case and gives them the space to diverge and optimise where and when it makes sense.

Also C# is available as a scripting language for Godot, which makes a lot more sense than python from a performance perspective.

Amdahl's law states that "the overall performance improvement gained by optimizing a single part of a system is limited by the fraction of time that the improved part is actually used".

For anyone else who didn't know.

I've taken to "installing" the webapp version on my phone. It's only a little bit different, but doesn't come with the frustrating issues the android app does.

Perhaps consciousness is just an observer of those physical systems that exist in the brain, and under anaesthetic the interface between consciousness and those systems is interfered with. I don't know what I'm getting at.

I think most people who would be happy with such a simple webpage are the same people who know how easy it is to do.
