I just learned about Zig, an effort to make a better C compatible language. It's been really good so far, I definitely recommend checking it out! It's early stages for the community, but the core language is pretty developed and is a breath of fresh air compared to C.

Vivaldi is not open source

Quit it with the Vivaldi ads, it's closed source and based on chrome. Go away, stop shilling.

I feel enlightened now that you called out the self-reinforcing nature of the algorithms. It makes sense that an RL agent solving the bandits problem would create its own bubbles out of laziness.

Maybe we can take advantage of that laziness to incept critical thinking back into social media, or at least have it eat itself.

Yeah this is a common issue with docker. If you can get away with running the underlying tool without docker I would almost always recommend that instead.

Thank you!!

I disagree with most people here. The interview is the most important thing, so build it from scratch and make your own libraries. You will learn how to design good APIs which will make you infinitely more likely to get hired and promoted too.

Well there's your problem :P every language has bad code examples

Even though most of the specifics you point to are wrong, it's a good point overall:

Rust, being #1, should be better than all other languages. The fact that it's just decent makes it seem overhyped, and all the downvotes on haters make it look like a cult.

Back when it was small, the cult-like following was OK. But now that the language is becoming more mainstream I think the Rust evangelizers need to tone it down a bit or they risk pushing people away.

On your point, TypeScript is a decent language too. There can be two good things.

In OP's defense I have heard this said unironically by several engineers at my last job.

"Rust is going to replace JavaScript thanks to webassembly, so we should be moving all of our code to that."

"Our client should be in the same language as our backend, just like in GWT"

Did you inline all those types just to make it ugly? Normally each of those subtypes would have been in a separate typedef, each with documentation.
