iphone_elegance··on Zig feels more practical than Rust for real-world CLI tools
when I think of rust I think of beauties like this,

iphone_elegance··on You’re a slow thinker. Now what?
Maybe it's time to rethink what standardized tests measure.

As AI takes over deep analysis, the most valuable skill might not be how well you think, but how quickly you can process information.

In the future, will we be tested on 'thoughts per second' instead of pure knowledge?

iphone_elegance··on Mark Zuckerberg freezes AI hiring amid bubble fears
You really can't compare "AI" to a single website, it makes no sense
iphone_elegance··on When did AI take over Hacker News?
The comments on most of the stories are the same old diatribes as well

most of them are fairly useles it feels like the majority of the sites comments are written by PMs at the FANG companies running everything though the flavor of the month llm

iphone_elegance··on AI is different
lmao, "underplay ai" that's all this site has been about for the last few years

iphone_elegance··on Apple gave me the Hey treatment back in 2014
A while ago the 30% upcharge for iOS users was against the rules, now it's allowed.

yeah for me personally it's tricky, I like Swift as a language but I'm pretty happy with rust and c++ for cross-platform system/graphics work (there are a ton of great libraries) and there's a million options for network services including Go that feel more built up

i feel like i'm at a point of language overload as it is these days, I don't have the mental space for yet another language

it gets really weird microsoft/github now owns npm, I don't think core service providers should be able to make discriminate based on politics

it makes for a very slippery slope

What part of the Rust community are we talking about here the parts I've interacted with (mostly a local meetup and the rust discord) have been great and don't feel like an echo chamber

do you just mean reddit and hacker news posters because I find calling that part of the community pretty absurd that's just lowest common denominator internet yelling

iphone_elegance··on Storage Matters: Why Xbox and Playstation SSDs Usher in a New Era of Gaming
