OK thanks for clarifying. π

They also should have tested for that
Hey safety standards totally undermine profits, why do you hate America? π
it being not obvious what happens under the hood
To me it feels like it does things I didn't ask it to. So I'm not 100% in control π
the idiomatic version of a loop in Rust usually involves iterators and function composition.
What? You need to make a function to make a loop? That can't be right???
C-loops are easy for me to understand.
Absolutely, the way C loops work is perfect. I'm not so fond of the syntax, but at least it's logical in how it works.
OK that's new to me, I have to admit I haven't been looking at it for years, I do not feel comfortable following Microsoft specifications, as Microsoft has a long h9istory of fucking things up for others on purpose, and their safety record is probably among the worst in the industry.
I 100% agree, but some would consider that a matter of ideology.
The other point about dependency on USA when they are acting with hostility is more pragmatic.
99% of people don't understand all the reason why open source is better for public services, except if we can say it's cheaper. That's the one point they understand, and the one point Microsoft has been attacking most with their propaganda against open source.
I am willing to bet that the ownership paradigm that it enforces is going to feel at least moderately new to you
Absolutely, I am more used to program closer to the iron mostly C. My favorite was 68000 Assembly, python is nice, but I prefer compiled languages for efficiency. Although that efficiency isn't relevant for basic tasks anymore.
The compiler error messages sound extremely cool. π
Thanks, I might take a look at it just for fun. π
I would have guessed that mixing different programming languages would cause problems. But apparently it's working well.
It's been 20 years since I did any serious programming, so I'm a bit rusty, is that what Rust is for?
This is great, But using Microsoft Windows should be illegal for public services in EU.
We can no longer allow ourselves to depend on American IT infrastructure.
Only as long as Microsoft allow it, and only because a lot of work was put into that shit. The first couple of years it was very flaky.
There are so many graphs where things start to decline under Ronald Regan.
Personally I see the victory of Ronald Reagan over Jimmy Carter as the turning point, but you make good points about it already happening under Nixon. But at least Nixon was removed for Water Gate, while Reagan came out of the Iran Contra affair completely unscathed.
As I see it, Jimmy Carter may have been the best president USA ever had, he had the right foresight about sustainability symbolized by the solar panels he put up on the White House, and he warned about consumerism, and was 100% a decent human being.
When USA elected Ronald Reagan instead, they abandoned all those values, very much like they did when electing Trump. An obvious malignant narcissists, the most dangerous personal disorder that exist!
And yes the media is a huge part of the problem too, that was already extremely obvious under Bush, where in the beginning there were opposition to a war in Iraq based on false intelligence, that was decidedly contrary to what the UN observers reported. But the media turned 100% one sided to support it, and even questioning it became anti American!
American news media are generally pretty bad, an example of that was when John Stewart on his comedy show provided more accurate news than the actual news! Also like him or not, the firing of Keith Olbermann was a 100% political decision, and American media has systematically weeded out news sources they consider too anti Republican.
Where USA is now is a very sad turn to where we were headed in the 70's. We do have a bit of the same problem in EU, but nearly as bad, but abandoning traditional values do happen under the guise of pragmatism. Even here in Social Democratic Denmark, the protection of the week is not nearly as strong as it used to be.
It was never a major part of my job description, and I lost interest doing small hobby projects.
