Happiness needs loss, fulfillment, pain, hunger, boredom, fear and they need to be experiences backed up by both chemical feelings and experiences and memory and they have to be true.

But here's the thing, already the damage is done beyond just some art. I don't mean to diminish art, but frankly, look at how hostile, ugly and inhuman the world outside is in any regular city. Literal death worlds in fantasy 40k settings look more homey, comfortable, fulfilling, and human.

I believe you have a capable need for the tools you choose to use. I wish I could have sympathized, but the snark you engaged with set the wrong tone.

Just email me a binary to flash with a usb stick? Here's a link to download a zip file, just drag and drop into file explorer. Totally scalable stuff. But then again you just make calculators for the android app store, so I guess you're fine.

Cargo add pkgname on my computer.

Cargo add pkgname on a ssh session.

Cargo add pkgname in a docker script.

Wow the same process for doing it on my dev pc is the same everywhere else! Amazing. What do you do to automate deployment? ssh in and install your whole graphical tool then write a mouse macro to click the compile button?

You are taking a vacation with a U-Haul truck filled with your furniture. I am taking a vacation with a backpack.

I haven't mentioned conditional compilation.

I haven't mentioned respecting the configuration options of dependencies.

The tooling has to at least do all that using the same syntax for commands and configuration. It has to be predictable enough that I can almost figure it out myself. No black magic.

0. Export/upload my source

1. Import/download my remote source

2. Compile my source for different targets

3. Cleanup my source and my compiled source

5. Do all the above for different versions/locations of my source

6. Do all the above for source not my own

7. Do all the above with a simple command and or a simple key->value in a config file

Then I need to do all the above with

8. using a terminal on my personal computer

9. on a remote server using ssh'ed terminal

10. in a script automation file like a docker file or maybe a vim script that setups my dev environment

11. Have 0 - 10 be so easy to do, basically a simple command or two, that I don't have to spend days figuring out tooling FOR EACH TASK and googling mystical error messages for solutions on obscure forums posted 2009.

I stayed with Rust because it has good tooling. Because it's the one thing that hasn't driven me insane at one point or another. I wanted to program in Haskell and c, but I am so sick of the terrible tooling and the terrible conventions of the communities (something Go at least gets right) that I instead program in Rust, a language I enjoy less for it's merit as a language.

I brought up an example of three countries that have been similarly condemned and were not invading anybody.

Regarding The Iran comment. Why are you even thinking about a far-away country needing to be "opposed"? This is a very weird world police mindset to me. Do you think NATO shouldn't be opposed?

America spent 2 trillion on it's own military budget in Afghanistan. Half of which were interest payments. The US didn't spend trillions to sponsor Afghanistan's infrastructure.

The US occupied that country for 20 years and destroyed not only it's infrastructure but the fabric of that society as well as the mental well-being of several generations of Afganis. The toll is incalculable. How you spun 20 years to be evidence of benevolence, I'll never know. So I assume Russia occupying civilized Ukraine for the next two decades, despite violent, traumatic and desperate resistance will also be seen as benevolence?
