You speak as if those things don’t happen in a monopoly. Competition at least had a semblance of keeping each competitor on their foot.

Only problem is consolidation of power is inevitable and thus the point is moot. You should have had a better argument for why it doesn’t work… instead you chose to look like the guy yelling at clouds.

your description of yourself is that you’re an insufferable twat?

oh this tired argument again!

You don’t drive across the country daily do you? How long does it take to drive across the country? that’s irrelevant.

the whole of zoning and design of US is bad.

You can’t bring this up when the argument is how far is your local grocery store is to your house. Unless you drive cross country for your groceries!

“Not everyone lives in dense urban areas or suburbs”

Your argument is “that’s how it has always been and we have to solve around it” when the solution is to not to have it that way.

the US is hopelessly into spread out development. There’s no solving your way out of having to drive 10 minutes to get groceries without substantial changes to mindset and zoning policies. It’s so absurd!

man, it’s so wild hearing that the nearest grocery store is 20 miles away. You guys have created unnecessary problems for yourself. It’s so shocking how rough you guys have it and how non-chalant you are about something which is a no-brainer for the rest of the world.

never seen more chumpier chumps than Americans.

sounds like hell

yeah something like “if new candidate in employee DB == hired”

No the interviewer is personification of the naive backend that checks only that a specific row is present in the DB, or that’s how I read it.

Americans are the only creatures who don’t understand the concept of a grocery basket outside of a car

that’s not a good thing buddy

pray tell me how would you change the name in every script of an automation system that refers to master? Remember, you have to justify the time and cost to your manager or director!

you forgot about covid stimulus checks to businesses that were not returned?

shame of you to pull the “I have kids!” card just so you can shove people aside in public for your tardiness. It would seem one can act like a complete ape with no sense of time in public and be excused because “Oh I have kids, you wouldn’t understand!”.

guess what? Everybody has kids or have had kids! If to u really care about them take the damn stairs? I don’t think you would have “fat lazy” people blocking your way?

maybe the concept of being in a hurry is alien to me as I am not tardy or impatient, or accept that I will be late and just not act like a baboon rushing towards a potential lunch.

I hate the concept of escalator etiquette because there’s the smallest amount of space and people feel the need to carve it up for those who can’t be patient or use the wide stairs. there’s no reason someone can’t use stairs if they are in a hurry.

whats so bad about rust?

You think complainers cease to exist when the software becomes paid? You only need to look at gamers to find a very vocal bunch of angry people in that crowd. This is true for any enthusiast space.

if you can’t explain your problem and expect people to read between the lines then don’t be surprised people assume the unspoken parts. we’re not oracles here!

the linux foundation is not the core linux team. they’re just a corporate interest group whose 2% contribution is to the linux kernel.

your objections, I assume are related to duplicated work, and security related?

There are some warts of C that I feel Rust addresses very well. Mainly extensible type system that is not bad like C++. Secondly cargo. Building and packaging just feels wrong in C.

Only one place where C is still better than Rust: Rust does not have a well defined standard ABI. Hence every project compiles everything from source and link statically. Whereas with C we have a standard ABI that can allow for dynamic linking.
