  • In the grand scheme of things, not paying taxes is also a pretty miniscule thing. The US funding for Israel is pretty big though. If they needed more weapons that your tax dollars would have paid for, I’d guess the tax dollars you paid in the US would go to the same place. I guess the alternative is to live in not-US and not-Israel. But either way, I think the US would just fork up more money anyway.

    But the main point I’m making is, bad people will find a way to do bad things. The best way to eliminate bad people is to change their minds.











  • Hard disagree. I think Java is objectively bad.

    I can give Rust to a completely inexperienced dev straight out if high school and they will be able to write a multi threaded program without data races since Rust was designed so that isn’t possible. That’s one example of many.

    Even null is something the creator of null said was an objective mistake, and that concept is embedded into Java, while it doesn’t exist in Rust.

    Learning Rust to the point where your code is correct is absolutely not hard at all, which is why it’s so bizarre when people create projects like this.


  • LMAO, Sublinks devs are so engrained in Java that they want to rewrite Rust in Java, and their survey they send is written in Office 365? They’re a meme.

    The Java idea is absurd and shouldn’t be taken seriously.

    I disagree with the Lemmy devs’ political views a great deal, but:

    1. It’s open source so you can audit if they’re doing anything bad
    2. Just fork it and improve if you have issues with the code they’re writing / features

    Java is a horrible language. Nearly every developer I’ve talked to in the last several decades agrees, even previously hardcore Java devs. Please just stop.
