    That's more a tooling/ecosystem problem than a language issue. But frustrating all the same.

    It's a bit surprising that a language with such a gleefully anti-democratic core team hasn't been able to settle on a package management solution yet.

    The big complaint I always here about Rust is the toxic community. They have a reputation for intolerance, bigotry, and dogmatism. Whether that reputation is deserved I cannot say. It's bad enough to make me not really want to explore The Rust ecosystem.

    Funny. I stopped using a Mac in college. I stopped using Windows earlier, when I learned there was anything else - at all - available.

    Have you seen how little the euro capitalists pay programmers? It's no surprise at all that their software industry is puny and worthless, despite having a well educated workforce and a huge internal market.

  5. Judicial tyranny is one of the great problems of our age. The very idea of "fair", "impartial" courts is a utopian fantasy with no basis is historical reality.

    Instead of killing them, let's use the technique Mao employed on anti-revoltionary village chiefs. Force them to wear a dunce cap, and tie them up on a wagon. Then parade them around town so workers and peasants can throw rotten fruit at them. This technique is said to be most effective at destroying the social authority of the former exploiting classes.

  7. The Russians stole my dog! And cooked it!

    In America you have all the civil rights for which you can afford to sue in federal kangaroo court. That means I personally have no rights at all. How many rights do you have?

  9. Under Obamacare I was twice, for financial reasons, turned away from a hospital while in pain. The fake-progressive establishment told me to go die in the street like a dog. That's why smug Obamacare apologists disgust me.

  10. Do you suppose the Soviets publicized their abuses in Pravda?

  11. You're right - those people have really terrifying wrists.

  12. Such persuasive eloquence!

    The "Tea Party movement" is reality TV. Meaning it's fictional, scripted, staged, with no reality at all.

    The financial oligarchy controls all levels of government, now and before alike.

    How charmingly naive. Upper class people don't go to jail. Rest assured, the millions rotting in the Gulag are all plebs like us.

  18. Damn that would be awesome.

  19. Out of curiosity, what are your tech skills that are so very relevant at the moment? And what salary did you accept for what job role?

  20. More and more tech workers are waking up to the old truth that capitalism - and particularly it's modern incarnation, financialism - is a curse on human society. The many toil and suffer for the benefit of the few. Living standards are collapsing even as despoilation of the environment continues unabated. Millions languish in the dungeons and torture chambers of our gulag.

    What remains is for us to find a new way forward. The flaws of 20th century Leninist-Stalinist Communism are well known, and few wish to repeat the mistakes of the Soviet Union. Yet without a positive vision for the future, a real alternative, all our verbal opposition to financialism is little more than sophomoric angst.

    What will be your contribution to the future, comrade?

    You're just sour 'cuz the rooskies were pushing the same social destabilization propaganda that running dog "progressives" like to push. Of course there is a small difference - the rooskie were trying to ruin someone else's country...

    Am American journalist visiting Ukraine just after the war - in the interstitial period of peace & cooperation between WW2 and the Cold War - described that land as "the Texas of Russia".
