Exactly what is your definition of "initiated mostly by" and why do you promote it as objective? It sure seems to me that Rust detractors see the word "Rust" and immediately spawn a flame war. You, of course, also seem awfully happy every time it happens.

Fjall is an LSM-based key-value store written in Rust. It is pretty similar to RocksDB.

I do wish to note also that Marvin's blog posts are very informative and a great read. I would highly suggest reading them if you are at all interested in how Fjall or other LSM-based storage engines work.

I regularly enable YouTube subtitles. Almost always, they are a 100% verbatim transcription, excluding errors from auto-transcription. I am not annoyed in the slightest, and in fact I very much prefer that they are verbatim.

If you are too slow at reading subtitles, you can either slow down the video or train yourself to read faster. Or you can just disable the subtitles.

Software engineering is not just about building new things. I'd propose that by far the majority of the time of software engineers is spent on maintenance, bug fixing, minor incremental improvements, etc. Almost all software is either sold directly as a service or as a product with a servicing agreement.

> most software development is creating an asset that pays off over time

This is a fantasy.

Isn't this just simulated annealing in hardware attached to a grandiose restatement of the second law of thermodynamics?

Your code is my code actually. I wrote all of it. Where's the harm?

Didn't the RIAA completely ruin their reputation (along with the other AAs) by doing that? Now it seems like most people just equate them with a huge pile of lawyers in suits who care not about art.

> We have nukes and a massive air force.

> YC is funding weapon manufacturers lol. Where are the ethics there?

Circular reasoning? The reason we have a massive and more importantly effective air force is because weapons development occurred. It would not take very long at all for China to surpass the US in terms of air effectiveness if the US stopped working on defense projects.

Have you considered that getting someone arrested after you ruin a major source of their income is potentially not the most polite thing to do?

How would I respond at my job if someone openly antagonized my project(s) and completely refused to work with me? Probably complain to management.

Where is an example of this "false advertising"?
