Usually the same guy doesn't get paid for developing code, bug bounty and fixing the code.

It leads to corruption. To paraphrase Dilbert "I'm going to code myself a car."

Yeah, but only in C* can those errors end up as more UB.

* terms and limits may apply.

Except in C, validation of user input can in itself be an exploit vector.

Just switch to a saner language.

And before I get attacked for being a Rust shill, I meant Java :P

The bar is so low it's floating near the center of the Earth.

That's pricing.

Pricing has no correlation with profit. It can be artificially lowered to kill competition, and artificially inflated to maximize profit.

Researchers at top AI labs also have the incentive to say whatever shit it will take to get their lab funded, reason be damned.

> Never seen that before, but then again I'm not in the rust community.

As a straight guy, number of times people attacked Rust for catering to "that crowd", "DEI-language", and "woke mind-virus" has been pretty huge on Xitter.

Which is always hilarious to me, since language itself doesn't have anything offensive.

> If you write Rust, or let AI write rust, do you have to partake in the identity politics?

Answer is of course no. However by choosing to write it you'll be perceived as anti-Zig, anti-C, pro-woke, etc.

Your data is wrong. Highest quantile earns +50%

But Rich also account for majority of consumed goods purchased.

Also why did Travel, Entertainment and Food services suffered during post COVID recovery?

Why are McDonald's and other fast food joints that upped their price enjoyed a surge in value, when supply and demand tells otherwise.

If you look at percent of segfault errors in each repo, Bun had a much larger percent. Although don't quote on me.

Sure there are. US economy is K shaped. You either become rich or end up poor.

It's economy geared for the rich. Where poor only exist to give rich a confidence boost.

When economy goes K shaped (only ultra rich or ultra poor with no in-between) GDP is good preidictor of how the ultra rich are fairing.

For everyone else a roulette wheel is a better measurement.

Yeah, and writing thread safe Java is fraught with hidden shotgun and footguns because whether something is thread safe depends on bunch of notes about this class/method not being thread safe.

And relying on people to check them. Versus a compiler.

If two trillionaires bounce a 4 trillion dollar IOU, the GDP could be the greatest in the universe, even though nothing would substantially change.

> Your software can be made by you, for you.

Yeah, but it's probably derived from OSS software anyway either via license or LLM. That said, you can customize your Linux/BSD/Haiku/TempleOS as much as you want.

But consider the following: even in the better case of an OS making 1% of OS userbase (vs. 0.0000001%) no one wants to support it.

Want to play Diablo? Better to sit down and waste your time.

Ok, but still they share some programming language paradigm, but not all. They both are imperative, concurrent and functional, but Rust is generic, Go is not. Rust is structured, Go is OO.

> It's YOUR computer, you can put YOUR software on it. In fact even pocket calculator do that.

I'm pretty sure this exists. It's called OSS or, more ubiquitously, Linux.

The problem is, of course, no one wants to publish software for your PC/handmade OS. Which makes it a huge problem. You can't write every piece of your OS, without wasting huge amount of time. Nor do people generally want this.
