vbg commented on Chinese embassy lobbies U.S. business to oppose China bills   reuters.com/business/excl... · Posted by u/baylearn

The Chinese governments go/to response is to yell “racism!” whenever China is held to account or attacked.

It’s genius really. They know that so many people have a deep instant response to the cry of racism and the CCP uses that to their advantage.

In this way they masterfully play the west like a fiddle.

They get all the people opposed to racism to stand up for China. And none of these anti Racists have a clue - they think they’re “doing the right thing” when in fact the CCP is laughing itself silly at these useful idiots.

So yeah, “sinophobia” buddy, not a belligerent aggressive authoritarian bully state hell bent on subverting the political systems of the world to control everything. No, “sinophobia”.

Maybe I'm stupid.

But why is Rust so much harder than any other newish programs language.

Dart is like all of my dreams come true at once, Rust still gives me nightmares. I seriously tried to learn it multiple times and failed repeatedly.

I've created several Dart/ Flutter projects for myself and friends. Multiple C#/Unity projects. Python and JavaScript have paid my rent for the better part of a decade.

But Rust, I can't grasp basic concepts.

It worth the reward to keep trying.

You must be intentional about both coding and systemically learning at the same time how it works. Watch YouTube videos plus build a real world project.

My first attempt to learn rust failed. My second attempt was much better.

I’m not an expert by async rust seems to work pretty well to me.

I guess I’ll have to become an expert to find my disappointment.

Spaces in file names are a bad idea because spaces delimit the name of separate distinct files,

At least in my crazy old illogical head anyway.

File names should be long enough to clearly communicate meaning/purpose/context, no more no less.

Inflation is complete bullshit because it’s careful to measure a subset of prices and exclude a large range of other prices.

Meaningless crap, designed to support government narrative that everything is great, nothing to see here.

To have any credibility at all, inflation MUST include rent/mortgage payments and house prices.

Incompetence or malice?

All the M$ folks here in HN will cry malice.

I think incompetence or indifference.
