Money is a completely abstract thing and at this point says nothing about the material economics. It’s used to manage agency.

Essentially we allowed people $11 billion in human agency to occur for scientific reasons.

Sorry we didn’t put more of it into cars and video games, but your economy surely benefited from people doing the real economic exchange this required.

Personally I’d love to put it into designer drugs we can use to let me hallucinate a reality where miserly bean countering control freaks don’t exist, since we’re all going to die anyway and entropy will erode the universe.

Excepting rules against violence and careless end of the species, why all the rules?

Yes so again then; why Rust?

Surely shining light on and fixing those issues would have resulted in C/C++ essentially becoming what Rust hopes to be.

But western kids needed to found new big business and institutionalize math.

Seems the west has a real issue with oligarchs needing to manage the masses. No one can be rich unless an institution has decided they are correctly rich.

I’m using it for the first time and have been wondering what all the horror stories are about.

But then realize those horror stories were from 15+ years ago.

Did we need Rust?

Or did we need to build out the C and C++ ecosystems to make them easy and safe?

How many hours spent on all these languages for a few folks to build fiefdoms upon? Every human endeavor has a group of swindlers that tell you they’re helping but in hindsight often looks like they just got in the way.

I’ve been iterating and abstracting a project layout tool into just the right thing for about a decade.

It’s like remix and all those frontend bootstrap wizards/tools, but it bootstraps projects in any language with my preferences.

It prompts me to ask if it should fetch my favorite deps (Requests for Python, or my own go CLI builder since Cobra is to bloated and complex for my needs) depending on the language I’m using for the project. I don’t always need them but I can get them in place fast.

IMO using everyone else’s tools is boring. I don’t see a blacksmith getting tongs from another blacksmith. I can’t hope to be an expert if I just import experts code. Seeing something like bash and being expected to believe that means anything when I can just write my own; those old guys made syntax art which actually just made “computing” hard. That was job security as much as anything.

Too many people don’t realize listening to others tell you not to do X is just giving them a monopoly.

You seem to think a persons worldview is under their control

The important discovery people make is lucid awareness a chemical did this to them

Unlike booze where you black out

Whether the brain gives rise to us it’s a medium that exists and it can’t be discounted it has a lot to do with our awareness

That we can be just chemistry is the shift in metaphysical belief I came away with

The oceanic connectedness being we’re all just a few micrograms of this or that from being the same. That perception of uniqueness is not uniqueness

Maybe our past definitions of professional and social effort were arbitrary.

Point to a past social meme or industrial behavior that’s stood the test of time.

“Past worked like X so future must too.” is not a reasonable or rational position to hold given the evidence it will just change.
