Turn off Rust's safety features (cargo run --release), when finished debugging.

The FOMC has been manipulating the traditional (stock, bond, commodity) markets to prevent market crashes (especially since 2008). The side effect is that it's become more difficult to get the large returns from market swings (ie crashes and rebounds). So now speculators (let's not call them investors) are searching outside the traditional markets for "big profits".
RAM is simply the latest victim.
 

Python zealots were engaged in stolen valor--claiming their "Python" program was fast and powerful, when it merely linked C and FORTRAN libraries.

I'd prefer a law that makes internet games have a LAN only mode.

Or go forward to 2036. :P

If you have a BICSI compliant structure, you'll be fine.

Carrington is a solved problem.

How difficult would it be for a website to create a minimal, unicode-to-html translator for posting?

National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has jettisoned *SAFETY*. Thank you EPA, NHTSA, and any other federal agencies that have pursued this goal from 1975 to present. (Dammit Ford! No, the other one). Modern vehicles aren't merely crash-unworthy, they can suddenly combust. At least we get terrific MPG on paper! Automatics get worse fuel economy than manuals--don't believe what car manufacturers publish. They have to comply with CAFE, and have every reason to lie.

No, the decline started with Johnson (Great Society + Vietnam), and got worse under Nixon (end of Bretton Woods, etc.) and Carter (even more stupidity). Reagan tried, and was partially successful at fixing things.

And then Bush-Clinton-Bush-Obama just fsck'd it all up again. Aka the Yale-Harvard-Yale-Harvard years. People who thought they were smart enough to run the US and even the world.

Let's not forget, though, that the US Congress was not sitting idly by. THAT hive of scum and villainy has actively overspending and fsck'ing Americans (and the rest of the world) this whole time.

And Trump got elected. A giant middle finger to Congress. So, for all the hate at Orange Man Bad, who else will step-up to scare off / prosecute self-serving Congress Critters?

So Google could have provided this service, this whole time?

ALPHABET's slogan: do evil, until forced to do otherwise!

Those were hunter-gatherer cultures, not medieval.
Hunter-gatherer cultures produce minimal amounts of science, math, writing, medicine, art, clothing, or anything else. They work enough to survive.

Rust Performance vs C Performance
Memory Management in Embedded Systems: A Comparative Analysis of C and Rust

You use Rust's safety features while writing / debugging, but
turn off Rust's safety features (cargo run --release), when you're done.
That way you don't get abysmal performance from performing safety checks.

Although, couldn't this be done in C as well?

I doubt Joel Spolsky is still hiring.
The financial employers are looking for people who are good at separating suckers from their money.

Who else is hiring?

1) Saturation / delayed retirement. There's only so many of X profession needed in a region. The excess stops pushing down wages and is simply not hired.

2) Too many managers, not enough workers. Somebody has to do the job.

3) Lack of economic growth. Growing companies need more hires.

Extortion? That's where you went? I realize a shareholder revolt and forced new management is unlikely since CALPERS and NEA are major stockholders; but what about actually stripping a broadcaster of its (government owned) spectrum? This would tank Disney shares, and hurt CALPERS and the NEA by extension. Don't forget, CALPERS and NEA are major donors to the Democrats.
