I would like to remind you that the USA are selling billions in weapons every year to Bin Salman, crown prince of Saudi Arabia, responsible of the killing of the journalist Jamal Ahmad Khashoggi, dismembered in a Saudi consulate in Turkey by killers sent by the prince, who is using those weapons to bomb people in Yemen.

Unfortunately people in US don't even know where Yemen is or that there is a war that they are supporting together with a bloody dictator. Because they do not want to intervene directly, if a single US soldier dies, everybody at home will know about this war, started in 2015, with the excuse of the terrorism, it only created newborn real terrorists that have fallen in the hands of Iran and Al-Qaeda. They send drones though, at least 370 thousand people have died, mainly for the consequences of war (famine, lack of drinkable water, diseases, displacement). A war that the US have no intention of stopping.

You know who's doing one of the best jobs in the area? China and Russia. Yes, those China and Russia. They recognize the international recognized government and have no contacts with the factions close to Iran. They also haven't killed or armed anybody. Their diplomacies have been constantly at work together with EU members for a cease-fire. Unlike the US. They know that an unstable Yemen is detrimental for China, even though people are dying, they do not care: there is money to be made.

Thanks for reminding us how dangerous ignorance is.

What about "People in the USA are grieving because of China virus created to kill us, but we won't do anything against China because the first step of grief is denial"?

How does this sound?

It's completely normal to me to answer: well my friend, first of all a leak is a mistake, it's not intentional since, you know, the first who paid where the Chinese themselves, it would be pretty stupid to do it intentionally. But if you really think things go that way because people do not understand who's their enemy (the Chinese who want to kill you by engineering a virus), what about all the countries that the USA has relationships to, to their advantage only, after killing their citizen, without even apologizing?

Should they cut the links too?

What about what the USA and UK did to Chinese people?

There's a reason why they made a cultural revolution and chose communism, and no, being a "democracy" doesn't make your country automatically better.

Spoiler alert: American people have lost many relatives because of their government.

So maybe it's toward them that they should be angry and ask for a change.

Even if it was a lab leak, the right solution would be cooperation, so that it doesn't happen again (because next time could happen to the US...)

I think you're missing the point.

To me the post was answering to someone claiming that

- Americans suffered the consequences of COVID because of China, which is arguably not true, they have handled the pandemic badly because of their own faults, incompetence and hubris (and a President in denial).

- The Americans are at the first stage of grieving over this, because they are obviously victims, while truth is they are often perpetrators that just don't care of the consequences of what they do, because if some non American dies, it's probably because they deserve it. During COVID they proved that they also don't care very much if someone of their own dies, because FREE MARKET OH YEAH! FLY EAGLE OF FREEDOM! Which has honestly been embarrassing, watching from outside.

If you were part of the 96% of the World population which is not American, you would know the feeling.

How about, I am non native English speaker, those are perfectly valid numbers for me, so don't shove your limited view of the World down my throat?

How about some magic words spell things and you can't change that?

> but the fact that LGBTQ people enjoy helping to make it successful.

can we stop idolizing things that are so common, they're boring?

I've worked with LGBTQ people in software engineering before the LGBTQ acronym was even invented and they were 10 to 20 years older than me already in the 90s...

Why there are people pretending that the World did not exist and had different rules before Rust?

Is Rust a new kind of religion?

It looks like it is for some people.

Are you sure?

> Arguably, Rust does make a number of memory layouts (self referential structs, per struct allocators, non thread local addresses, etc) much harder to accomplish than "typing unsafe".

So basically, the right question would be "can you explain what you mean that Rust can't control how memory is managed"?

Because the author knew, the Rust supporter didn't and confused "work in progress" with "I need it now because I'm using it now in production in my daily job"

> What makes you think you can't control how memory is managed in Rust?

experienced C++ programmers says "Rust is great but very young and still C++ is better for my use case".

Rust supporter replies "what makes you think you know better than us what it is better for you?"

Welcoming community, they said.

growth, definition: the act or process, or a manner of growing; development; gradual increase.

If something grows from 1 to 2 it doubled.

If something grows from 100 to 101 its growth was 1%.

In absolute terms it's the same amount.

So you got it backwards.

the evidence is the same of the elections: if only 30% of the people vote, the most loved vote was non voting.

I don't see PHP programmers going to Stackoverflow to vote for PHP, but it still gets a lot more things done than Rust, for sure.

And not because they don't like the language, but because "normies" don't go out talking about their love for the hammer or their drill or their kitchen too... no wait, chefs talk about their knives constantly!

Rust is nobody employer though
