12thwonder··on Speed of Rust vs. C
I prefer to have great ideas in rust ported over to C instead of rewriting everything with Rust. this approach will benefit all the existing softwares written in C which I think is much larger than Rust in terms of both impact and code size.

am I a minority having this opinion?

a code editor using spatial memory it's a paid app

12thwonder··on Italy and South Korea virus outbreaks reveal disparity in deaths and tactics
> If you could quickly and accurately test everyone in the country today we would know how to isolate and the whole thing would be over very soon.

i don't understand. let's say that tests are super accurate, a negative test result does not mean you won't spread virus in the future. You may have virus the next day or an hour later. tests are important for treatments but i don't think they are effective as a basis for isolation.

12thwonder··on CDC: Possible ‘community spread’ coronavirus case in Bay Area
mortality depends on the country in which the patient is treated in my view.

according to WHO's situation report, Singapore has 91 confirmed cases and 0 death so far. in most developed country, mortality rate seems to be on much lower side. Of course these numbers can change at any minute.

12thwonder··on What is Rust and why is it so popular?
What influential applications are written in rust? For c++, there is llvm, chrome, game engines, I feel like c++ is standing very strong in any of these fields still, why is that? Do u think it’s going to change soon?
12thwonder··on EHTML: Front-end development can and should be simple
100% agreed. Html and css are for documents not for ui imo. Quite sad that they are becoming the standard for creating ui
12thwonder··on Zuckerberg doubles down on Facebook political ads policy after Twitter ban
freedom to express one's opinion is different from spreading disinformation (e.g. incorrect election dates) to manipulate public, and the latter should be minimized somehow someway. i would like to know if you disagree and why.
12thwonder··on Object-Oriented Programming and Essential State
Really good points made by this article imo. I feel like a lot of OO code problems can be the result of misuse of encapsulations. A private member of a class that mutates is rarely meant to be encapsulated but it is just a property of the class.

Can u share any of your code with us?
12thwonder··on Why Fiction Beats Truth
Isn’t this article a fiction itself? in a sense that it is not proven to be true or impossible to prove?

It’s interesting because it looks like people are buying this story thus proving his point, fiction (this article) beats truth.
