I know you are joking.

But asides from the securities offered by the typing system and borrow checker, Rust (and Go; and maybe others to some extend) have going for them is that the compiled binary is "OOTB".

I'm on ubuntu, and it seems all python tooling is there to start running Gamestonks Terminal. But more often then not, getting a Python, Nodejs or Ruby project running requires a lot of fiddling, insider-information (what is npx, why did pipenv just break my entire desktop, why is this 'rbenv' thing giving these weird 'RVM' errors?).

A rust project: download it, unzip it, run it. A very short Daft Punk song, really.

Long ago I had lucid reasons why Sass was better than Less in very important ways, but over time it became "but not worth the trouble of maintaining a Ruby distribution on your machine"

The c implementation didn't hit the point of me being able to endorse it before I just gave up and let people use Less if that's what they prefer.

Runtimes, man. They can be the pits.

Aren't PAR files meant to address that?

Probably. As would appimg or snap or any other packaging.

But all of these don't make the packaging easier, they merely move the complexity of such setups from "all users" to "the devs". Which helps a lot.

But it's still easier if no-one has to deal with this.

ASDF requires nearly the same amount of effort for every language

Daft Punk has split up, so it is no longer a valid meme.

That’s just like, your opinion man.

See what I did? It’s an older meme, but it checks out.

Maybe your joke will be fine when Hell Freezes Over.

Just wait for the 2025 reunion tour.

I realise this is a joke but there are economic reasons to expect stocks to go up in real terms on average in the long term. Investing in the long term is not a zero sum game.

No one here said anything to the contrary.

> solve [...], otherwise everything will keep going up

This implies that markets going up is a problem that needs to be solved.

Market going up when the economy is going down IS a problem because when it crashes it will amplify the problem ten fold.

Do you have any data to back up that assertion?

That used to be case when you had to clear certain hurdles to IPO and stay listed. With the recent SPAC craze you no longer have to meet any of those. All you need is a credible narrative. In that environment, no, you shouldn’t expect stocks to have positive returns. Long-term positive return in stocks is purely a function of required rate of _cash_ return. But if an underlying business is never meant to ever distribute cash back to investors, the stock is worth exactly ZERO. In other words a ponzi scheme.

You shouldn’t expect EVERY stock to have positive returns. Unless the bad stocks to which you're referring become a considerable part of the market, you should still expect stocks, on average, to earn you real interest.

The borrow checker is still busted tho.

Not sure if short selling joke or Rust dig.

¿Por qué no los dos?

Markets are garbage collected.

The market can leak memory longer than you can stay solvent. Or something.

A full garbage collection can be a brutal time.

Yeah, but that scheduling!

this comment is underrated
