The Chinese governments go/to response is to yell “racism!” whenever China is held to account or attacked.

It’s genius really. They know that so many people have a deep instant response to the cry of racism and the CCP uses that to their advantage.

In this way they masterfully play the west like a fiddle.

They get all the people opposed to racism to stand up for China. And none of these anti Racists have a clue - they think they’re “doing the right thing” when in fact the CCP is laughing itself silly at these useful idiots.

So yeah, “sinophobia” buddy, not a belligerent aggressive authoritarian bully state hell bent on subverting the political systems of the world to control everything. No, “sinophobia”.

It worth the reward to keep trying.

You must be intentional about both coding and systemically learning at the same time how it works. Watch YouTube videos plus build a real world project.

My first attempt to learn rust failed. My second attempt was much better.

I’m not an expert by async rust seems to work pretty well to me.

I guess I’ll have to become an expert to find my disappointment.

File names should be long enough to clearly communicate meaning/purpose/context, no more no less.

Spaces in file names are a bad idea because spaces delimit the name of separate distinct files,

At least in my crazy old illogical head anyway.

Inflation is complete bullshit because it’s careful to measure a subset of prices and exclude a large range of other prices.

Meaningless crap, designed to support government narrative that everything is great, nothing to see here.

To have any credibility at all, inflation MUST include rent/mortgage payments and house prices.

Incompetence or malice?

All the M$ folks here in HN will cry malice.

I think incompetence or indifference.

Oh man I loved Magic Realm as a kid, I owned it, but I never played it.

I was 12 years old and it was way too complex.

I loved the game board and the art and the instructions and the characters. It was like being taken to well…. another realm.

I used to open the box up and lay out the tiles and read the manuals and look at the art and drink it in and be transported.

I still have it in the garage. What a great game.

There’s a few games I think deserve a new set of simpler rules for the same board and game pieces. I’ve often wondered if there’s a community smog people interested in making up new rules for old games that were too hard.

OO isn’t a disaster.

What we have learned however is that it’s not the only way to do things.

10 years ago the accepted wisdom was that the only way to program was object oriented.

Thankfully there is hopefully a broader acceptance now that other ways of programming such as composed functions are also great ways to program.

Program in whatever style you like, or whatever your team decides on. Be happy and don’t force your religion on others.

That’s a very long and wordy advertisement for using coscreen.

I can interview any developer and by asking the right questions prove they are an incompetent fraud.

It’s a simple matter of asking the right questions.

Who’s wrong and who’s right?

The interviewer is always right.

If you don’t know what I think you should know then you’re incompetent.
