And we all know Arch isn’t a distro right?

Their whole aesthetics is super cringe

Meh I dislike Musk as well but I don’t let that cloud my judgement of his companies or science/engineering in general.

Right because innovation materializes itself when we want … We just flicked our fingers and airplane, cellphone and others just appeared.

Who are you to tell what we should or should not pursue?

Isn’t there space for both? Why not try multiple avenues? Why have this negative view on everything? Wouldn’t you say the airplane and the car have tremendously improved humanity, even with all its downsides? Or the cellphone?

I bet at the time of their inventions you would be opposing it because “billionaires are bad and this industry is going to explore the working class”. Guess what? Yes billionaires are bad and explore people and you (all of us) should be fighting against that, not against scientific and engineering inovation.

You seem to be letting your hatred for Musk confuse you about space exploration. NASA and other governmental agencies do very important work when it comes to space exploration

Is this sub-populated mostly by Facebook people? Some of the answers really feel like it.

This is the “you’re more productive at the office” crowd

What you’re asking is akin to: why are people impressed by the airplane? We’ve already reached the Americas and India by boat.

SpaceX, and others actually are not advancing science per se, but are greatly improving/optimising the engineering so that it can be used in cheaper ways by others.

There’s also the issue that after the moon landing we didn’t really improve that much and much of the knowledge faded

You cherry picked his argument and left out the rest where he states China’s as cheaper standards of environmental “friendliness”

You’re so kwel and super smart, little guy

Sorry if it sounded aggressive. This topic hits close because I have at least 2 very close friends that continuously ignore speed limits and no argument dissuades them of the “speed limits are a way of controlling the people, and fines are just for the police to earn money” mindset, et al. And I feel they’ll have a nasty accident one day

I don’t disagree it’s disproportionate. But you know how rich and poor can avoid fines? Just fucking respect the limits

People should follow the law because it benefits everyone not because they want to avoid a fine

What the hell this is new, so road safety was created to hinder the poor? Just drive below the speed limit and stop making stupid excuses

That’s the journalists’ fault. They have no business going through studies like this, that are not meant for them to make conclusions.

Believe whatever makes you feel better, that’s all you can do, really.

Just stop spreading this bs, and stop reading news like these. Believe what accredited sources tell you, like your doctor or other professionals

Kind of. I agree partly. My mother used to knit winter clothes, for free, for some institutions and she wasn’t the one delivering them. They never knew who she was, and she didn’t bother.

I see your point, but in this case I feel OP was misinterpreting the situation

But that’s the thing where you are wrong. They clearly state they don’t want C developers to learn Rust. In the particular video posted he was saying “I want you to explain to me how this particular API works so that I can do it”

The concerns about who fixes what on a merge when the C code breaks Rust code are valid, but that’s easily fixed by gathering with the Rust developers, explaining the changes and letting them fix it.

Sure and place neovim there

Can you point out where I said that?
