dang seems your only parrot argument is "health care!!!"

hmm have you seen stabby maniacs and drug addicts in "healthcare provided countries"?

does having healthcare make those people visit those "providers" and go:

"Hello! I'm a maniac with mental issues/drug problems, and I'm visiting you to be treated! good day!"

hmm so.. "I give you every herb bearing seed upon the Earth" is followed by "to eat/stuff into nose"?

with this stupidity, maybe you should try eating list of 20 deadly plants and see how it goes?

"ownership" means "edible/nose-able"... maybe you should try eating your car?

sorry I didn't read the article - just the parent comment

maybe we're using the word "imflammation" to describe too much stuff?

I mean, we name viruses & bacterias by their category/shape/etc, so shouldn't we do something similar to inflammation? eg. blue, vege-inflammation, red inflammation, pink-diamond-shaped inflammation inflammation-from-burn, etc?

> What Israel is doing is tame compared to

this.

even though some Israel's actions are spooky (targeted-exploding walkytalkies?), they're at least designed to minimize civilian deaths (or at least they're trying)

But... Iran and their ilks (eg. Hamas)? they not only don't give a shit, but actively seek to kill civilians with maximum brutality (baby beheadings, killing & parading even with non-israeli bodies)

"non-profit" doesn't mean "this guys are morally right and only conveys truths"

it just means that they don't pay taxes

hmm have you actually read the article? did you find anything of "substance" other than hand-wavy "this company is from israel, so must be mosad" or "has notorious for its questionable practices" (without even giving actual examples or incidents)?

I mean, if I was the mosad guy planting a deal with samsung, I wouldn't even name the app "AppCloud"

heck, why would you even make it appear to the user?

this is a classic competitor-bashing article -- no substance, only hand-wavy "this guys bad!"

I'm guessing this can be traced to others like xiami/huawei/etc who definitely want to get samsung's slice of the market there

there's ("I'm hoping someone would...") phrase omitted here...

> (I'm hoping someone would) create `with_err` function: some_mayerr_func().with_err_log()

> (I'm hoping someone would) add 'newbie beginner mode(default)' / 'expert mode (optimized)' for rust

about: Adding an invisible, inaccessible, always-implicitly-initialized field sounds too weird and non-Rusty to me

maybe rust-devs are too focused on "zero-cost abstraction"? I mean, if I'm building for embedded sys, I have to make sure I don't waste any ram... but for other cases like web-server dev, it's much better to have some-cost abstraction that helps debugging

(this might actually be one of the reason rust isn't used a lot despite having an extremely good language basis/growth -- other one being async cancellation...)

hmm this might be solved in some simple ways:

1. create `with_err` function: some_mayerr_func().with_err_log()?

2. add 'newbie beginner mode(default)' / 'expert mode (optimized)' for rust:

- current Rust default is a bit too focused on code-optimization, too much so that it defaults to removing backtrace

- default should be 'show every backtrace even for handled errors (in my code, not the lib code -- bonus points for "is handled" checkbox)'

if someone's bringing "google payscale" for comparison... well that's not some average joe...

why not just bring Bill Gates and say "everything -- including private jet -- is dirt cheap" ?

$8k per year simply doesn't make sense for 95% of the programmers. For a lot of developing countries, that's more than a well-paying programmer's annual salary...

if a TV seller went bonkers and only said "it's 10:16", can you guess the actual size of that TV?
