At that age it's probably better to learn to read first. Besides, Florida isn't even the 10th state to mandate cursive after the federal government eliminated it as a requirement in 2010. Among the earliest states to require it after that is the very state that you believe can do no wrong.

we are talking about different things. You are talking about class division, all of this, I am talking about a person who does not have to work and yet he does it because he wants to, yes, but personally for him there is nothing to be gained except more headache, it is not about earning more, it is about doing something with yourself.

I am saying that doing something is an important part of living, doing something useful, where you feel useful, this is what this example shows.

Certainly, if you worked as an office cleaner most of your life, probably you will not be missing that work if you were able to get a pension and stop working, but I think you will still be missing the entire aspect of being useful in a wider sense of the word.

I think what makes us people is desire to be useful, doesn't matter how much money you make. I think people who do not have that desire are actually less than developed people.

Which dependencies are you even talking about? And which ones aren't compete? Be specific. With rare exception, rust binaries are statically compiled, and when there's any dynamic linking involved, it's almost always into a c library. Nobody, anywhere, ever dynamically links rust code into other rust code, so there's no way you're going to have a rust dependency that needs another rust dependency. You know why that is? Because rust doesn't have a stable ABI. So you'll have to excuse me if I call bullshit.

And one other question, have you never heard of pip? Poetry?

You guys always have a hate boner for rust and always come up with the dumbest reasons for it that aren't even true.

Just shows that there is no amount of money that replaces some sort of meaning in one's life. Bezos will treat any business correctly, obviously he will be looking for maximum efficiency, which is not easy to do when you are a billionaire, after all, any issues that can be sold by throwing money at it he can really solve this way, which may be the wrong approach for a new business that needs to become useful by standing on its own 2 legs.

But it is just interesting to observe, a guy with all the money and access, he still wants to spend time working rather than enjoying yet another sunny day on one of his yachts.

Submission + - Physicists reveal a new quantum state where electrons run wild (sciencedaily.com)

alternative_right writes: Electrons can freeze into strange geometric crystals and then melt back into liquid-like motion under the right quantum conditions. Researchers identified how to tune these transitions and even discovered a bizarre “pinball” state where some electrons stay locked in place while others dart around freely. Their simulations help explain how these phases form and how they might be harnessed for advanced quantum technologies.

I think it's more likely the detractors are being fanatical. Fluffernutter is hilariously so, he called the cloudflare developers inept because they rewrote their network stack in rust. Seriously. This is a guy who, not long before that, was telling me how he writes code four times faster than me (which I seriously doubt) and proceeds to talk about the way he writes code, which introduced potential semantic errors, then talks about how he relies on his code crashing at runtime to know when there's a bug in it. THAT is what being inept looks like.

Few people, even here, understand why rust will help you write better code before even looking at the memory safety aspect. It mostly comes down to the enum system and pattern matching ensuring you've covered all of your bases. Can it crash? Sure, but you, the developer, explicitly told it to.

Nice bunch of extreme lies you have there. Not any surprise.

Here is the first one: In actual reality, the industrial value of gold is not far from its market price. Typically about 50% of it. Do you really think it would get used in industrial applications if it was 100x more expensive than the value using it provides?
