Rust, IMO, provides a set of convenient features (borrow checker, RAII, generics, sane operator overloading, opt in unsafety) while leaving out ones that get pretty invasive and are hard to use in an embedded context (exceptions, new/delete operators, GC).

We're talking about those PPP loans that businesses and the wealthy abused, and not student loans that people are stuck with due to systemic causes... Right... Right...

"Keep it simple" says the project that decided it would be great to program in YAML...

I've tried using it to manage a few home servers and parameterizing anything was painful and boilerplate-ridden

Everybody gangsta with the "don't be evil" clause until the authors turn out to be a nutjob who thinks trans people are blights against God and must be exterminated.

I doubt (or at least hope) that that's not what they think, but hopefully that illustrates why the clause is dumb.

STOP doing manifest destiny

Nations were never supposed to span from coast to coast

Want to have more coastline anyway? We have a solution for that: it's called a PENINSULA

God: I will fix everything

Also God: I can't/ haven't fixed evil because then there'd be no free will

Even if the software was perfect, virtually all desktop RAM isn't ECC equipped, so you potentially have even the hardware corrupting the state and requiring restarting because of that.

That's fair, but frankly, in my experience, the average American's idea of communism is "evil bad oppression big gubmint dictatorship". I was never taught in school about the theory behind communism or the practical government of the USSR (regardless of how close they may or may not have been), so I have little understanding into how these systems actually work and whether it's actually beneficial for those under them. I'm trying to rectify that on my own time but there's many people who don't care enough to do so and just parrot the same thought terminating cliches like "human nature".

I would absolutely classify it as "core gameplay" given that it's the primary ranged weapon of both the playable character and most of the NPCs, past the crossbow. Saying "oh just ignore the stuff you don't like" is pretty dismissive of critique.

And don't get me wrong - mons with base building is a good idea, which is why I played it. But IMO palworld doesn't do much with it but put the two concepts together.

Really buggy at launch (not sure if it still is). "Pokemon with guns" is the least creative direction to take the concept. Devs reportedly don't know how to use any sort of SCM, a basic development tool

I've never seen it used outside of OpwnWRT. I assumed they made it specifically for it.

Second floor room, with the source/gmod "missing texture" purple-black checkerboard patter on the rug, chair, and door frame, and a red "Error" mesh in the middle of the room.
