it’s weird how often these same strawman arguments are the response when Rust’s safety advantage over C comes up. Usually the same adolescent tone too.

lol dude, I know what I’m talking about. I’ve been a software engineer for 30 years.

Ah, I’m thinking US ZIP Code

I think we can simplify this with one slider that covers the entire range of post codes: 00000 - 99999

This is what a tryhard looks like, lol! You’re really twisting yourself around to “win” aren’t you?

Our team has reviewed this interaction, and cannot issue a refund at this time.

Also, get an Instant Pot. You can quickly make stock using pressure cooking, then can sauté onions/celery/garlic, then pressure cook dry beans without soaking (using your fresh stock), and then use the rice cooker mode to make perfect rice.

While you’re spouting nonsense, this is happening:

https://www.infoq.com/news/2025/11/redis-vulnerability-redishell/

The vulnerability exploits a 13-year-old UAF memory corruption bug in Redis, allowing a post-auth attacker to send a crafted Lua script to escape the default Lua sandbox and execute arbitrary native code. This grants full host access, enabling data theft, wiping, encryption, resource hijacking, and lateral movement within cloud environments.

13 years. That’s how long it took to find a critical safety vulnerability in one of the most popular C open source codebases, Redis. This is software that was expertly written by some of the best engineers in the world and yet, mistakes can still happen! It’s just that in C a “mistake” can often mean a memory-safety bug that would put user data at risk (…) That’s the nature of memory-safety bugs in C: they can hide in plain sight.

You care, you are the one that brought it up as an issue with rust.

I ask as a rhetorical question to shed light on the fact that compiler back doors are a vanishingly small fraction of total security exploits, while the memory bugs that rust specifically addresses make up the vast majority.

You’re encouraging prejudice through overgeneralization.

While there may be more Christians than other places, it is not the case that “people are Christian”. And Georgia, at least, votes 50/50 Democrat/republican (and 62% D last Tuesday).

how many compiler back doors have we seen versus use-after-free/stack overflow attacks?

The anti-Rust crowd baffles me. Maybe C++ has rotted their brain to the point they can’t “get” the borrow checker.

My only complaint is that its syntax is an ugly mishmash. Should have copied scala or f#

lame

Lordy, nobody take this as advice. This is one inexperienced guy’s problem solving attempt.

i’m currently greenfielding a service in python, async is fine.

But if that was your major pain point, you would choose Java or .net or scala/ZIO.

Do libertarians vote Republican? Because that ain’t liberty.

Ecobee units have a power splitter that will let you run with a 4-wire setup (standard Heat/Cool/Fan/Common)

I mean, if you are passionate and engaged in the field of study, and there’s not already a dozen things on the top of your mind that warrant investigation or development - maybe it’s the wrong field for you?

i’m sorry, but it will not ruin your social life if people find out you’re a virgin.

Adults grow out of that hyperfixation on perceived group approval - but it probably doesn’t even matter in high school. Adults don’t ask each other about this stuff. It sounds like some manosphere incel BS.

Question: how old are you?

Full unix mode is probably easier than working up some kind of sandboxing mechanism that accepts arbitrary scripts/binaries.

As far as nice to the eye, you can spin up a python FastAPI site and frontend in about 10 minutes with Claude Code

are harebrained thoughts the norm for you?
