hi, i noticed there isn't an option to delete my account, and the faq didn't address this from what i could tell. is there a recommendation here?

> who use a different programming language than you

isn't this a bit reductive?

> it's a tactic, not a personality trait

that seems like a false dichotomy. you behave as cruel and abusive as you do because it's within you to behave that way.

sadly we aren't all as smart and worthy as you are, and don't have a decade old react-like hanging around. some of us even prefer the idea of using an open source library for the various benefits of doing so.

that seems like a trivially true statement, if not an outright tautology.

> So maybe it's not the language, but the person using it

oh. it would seem this is more about you feeling impressed with yourself, rather than making substantive arguments.

vue and angular have plenty of tutorials. react is much more popular (at the moment), which is why one would notice material for it more often.

why do you say that?

i wish there was something like `jbuilder new`, but alas. my current impression is that everything in ocaml-land wants you to spend time writing cryptic configuration files and inventing bespoke project structures.

> Rust is beginning to understand that they need more stability

i though rust has been stable since 1.0. am i wrong?

imho, a get() from cache when you already have the value seems like an unnecessary waste of cycles and network traffic.

plus this arrangement would seem vulnerable to a pathological case where you found the V from the db, but have a full/failed/partitioned cache and end up faulting or otherwise not returning the V.

> That is a funny question. It is like asking: what is the evolutionary advantage of a broken leg?

i'm unconvinced... a broken leg isn't a normal biological function, while (afaik) pain is an entirely internal process that is a 'response' mechanism.

> Sometimes things go wrong and the result is pain. There is no purpose to it; it just happened. Not everything has an evolutionary purpose.

the ostensible purpose of 'some' pain is to cause you to stop or avoid doing something damaging, or being aware of a need to seek remedy. for those few people who don't feel any physical pain (congenital analgesia)... life is actually more dangerous.

when it comes to incapacitating levels of pain, things seem to get murky. there is some arguable benefit to adopting a protective posture (covering a wound, adopting a fetal position, etc) to mitigate further harm... but it seems these same behaviors can also increase risk of harm as well, especially when it comes to pain causing reduced situational awareness and other reasoning impairments.

i suppose what surprises me the most is that someone would use windows in an atm. i would've thought it would've been an rtos or maybe a locked down bsd or selinux.
