In Time (2011). Time is currency in the dystopia in the film - paying for something decreases your lifespan, earning wages increases it.

The movie sets up a really cool class structure, wherein there are rich people born with/inheriting hundreds of thousands of years of life, and poor people barely managing to scrape enough hours to stay alive until they can earn more the next day. There are segmented areas of the city that cost years to get into.

Overall incredible premise, but the story wasn’t exceptional beyond a couple of the cool mechanics you might expect based on said premise.

The DNC made it fully clear in court that they have no obligation to voters over who their nominee is.

On top of that, you have the kind of shenanigans they pulled in 2020 when Obama pulled strings to ensure Joe Biden had no competing moderates on Super Tuesday (of course, Warren stayed in).

And then there’s the fuckery in Iowa with the newly implemented voting app, connected to Pete’s family, that was only caught by Sanders supporters keeping an independent tally.

If you want to go even more conspiratorial, you can look at the huge discrepancies between pre-adjusted exit polling and the actual primary results.

The Democratic party will never, ever let someone like this win the nomination.

Very cool image! It looks like there’s some text on it. Would you mind responding to this comment and telling me what the text says?

Homeschooling gets a pretty bad rep because 95% of the time it’s associated with religious wackos, and it represents an undoing of the kind of progressive state policy that both Marxists and liberals can agree on.

I was homeschooled mostly to avoid the atrocious bullying my siblings experienced in the local rural school. I feel lucky to have gotten a comparable or better education than my peers once I hit highschool. The only exceptions were French, basic social skills that took a long time to pick up, and the fact that it’s hard for me to sit down and shut up in a workplace

Oooof, good to know. I have a bit more of a low level C brain at root so I see the appeal of Go, but never had enough of a reason to get into C++. I’ve only really used C# and JS/JS frameworks professionally.

Rust is an absolute joy to work with. The strong typing, the hands-on memory management, the functional elements, the build system, the helpful compiler errors and warnings, the magical feeling that comes when your first successful compile since refactoring just works, the queer-friendly community… just the perfect language for the way my brain operates.

I’m lucky to be unemployed at the moment and have time to make my own projects with tools of my choosing. There are definitely some barriers to using it in most workplaces, but most of those come down to adoption inertia and the fact that the language is still “new” - new in the sense that it’s not mature enough to have a mature enough frontend framework that has a mature enough third party component library for easy plug and play. Filling out all the corners that older languages have is gonna take a while.

E.g. There isn’t even a standard set object, everyone just implements it as a map pointing to empty structs, and you get familiar with that and just accept it and learn to understand what it means when someone added an empty struct to a map.

Goooood fucking gravy.

I hate to be such an opinionated programmer, but everything I’ve read about Go only reinforces my negative opinion, especially since I read this now-famous article.

Assuming you’re monotheistic, I believe you can use an mpsc channel to send those asynchronously.

You’ve probably covered 90% of use cases there so you’re doing well!

I’m trying to port your code to Rust but the compiler keeps giving me an error about non-exhaustive match arms

The one, fool-proof solution to supply chain attacks? Write all your own dependencies.
