Yeah, it took me a bit to wrap my head around it. It’s worth it to avoid subtle, weird, and hard to diagnose bugs later on.

As a Rust programmer, I approve this message. Tumbling through a turbine repeatedly would be less stressful than working on a large python/js codebase.

Do you think that your assertion, that they want to destroy the world around us in order to provide “value” to a small group of tech bros is at odds with the underlying philosophy of effective altruism? It seems like anyone who wanted to create the most good for the most people would be opposed to a future like that.

Do you really think that’s what effective altruists want?

I’m mainly concerned about:

1. Not losing data if one drive dies on me.
2. Fast reads
3. Easy plug and play expansion

Since I’ll have 8 drives (or 6, if I use the smaller server, it would be nice if I could swap out one of them without losing data and add a larger one, which would then get used automatically. Is that something that RAID is good for?

I’m hesitant to set up backups because it’s going to be a lot of data.

Fucking hell.

Sweet, we need more non-English programming languages. I’m surprised that existing programming languages haven’t been translated yet.

Rust, hands down.

Man, that game looks sweet! I didn’t know it existed.

Normally, when I see something like “C/C++” it means that there’s a significant overlap between the two languages, so knowledge of one implies or coincides with knowledge of the other. But C# and C++ are very different languages, and while you could argue that there’s some sense in which they’re related, it isn’t much of one. If you’re going to list “C#/C++” then you could just as well put “Java/C#”, or “C++/Rust”.

Why does he have a slash in between C# and C++? Those languages are unrelated except in the philosophical sense.
