    Rust does a lot more than that. It has a far more powerful, flexible, and higher-level type system than Java all while being much more performant.

    Every single time I’ve heard people cite Java’s ecosystem, I’ve yet to see them using anything that Rust doesn’t have a better alternative to. Java’s ecosystem is massive, but most of the time, you don’t actually need it. Unless you are doing a lot of third party integrations that have Java sdks or something, there’s not a lot it buys you. If you’re just making typical web applications with a database, Rust has you completely covered and will do a better job of it to boot.

    That is rapidly changing. More and more huge tech companies are spinning up sizable Rust teams. Rust is basically at the place Go was a few years ago. It’s on the verge of becoming mainstream and has a huge community behind it.

    I personally view sublinks as pretty pointless and short-sighted. It is frankly not that hard to pick up a new language and contribute to a project for an experienced developer, so I see little reason to try to rewrite it if nothing new is really being offered. If you look at the GitHub of each, sublinks does not have more contributors or anything like that, so the value proposition seems dubious at best.


  • For an adult? Nah. You can certainly kindly let them know that this isn’t really gonna work and explain why (and let them know you appreciate the effort), but the rest of it is way overkill and could easily be seen as patronizing, imo. They’re an adult, not a 13 year old.

    Also, I interpreted the OP as finding it humorously absurd (which it is) rather than being frustrated or anything.


  • With a quick search on Zillow for Lincoln, Nebraska (~300k pop college town), cheapest I can find is $90k for a 1 bed/1 bath 500 sqft condo. $100k for a 1 bed/1 bath 500 sqft house, though technically that’s a foreclosure so you might not consider that to count. The cheapest normal house for sale that I can find is $110k for a 2 bed, 1 bath 1500 sqft house. It’s an older home, but actually a pretty decent location (close-ish to downtown).




  • I don’t use teams, but hard disagree. My team screenshares all the time for pair programming, and even for regular meetings, screen sharing a slide deck or basic agenda is helpful for focusing conversation. I have presented before without sharing a screen and things go off the rails really quick. Focusing attention on the topics being discussed helps keep things as brief and efficient as possible. Presenting an agenda and topics also shows professionalism and that you are trying to respect people’s time by keeping things focused.

    If it’s an actually useless meeting… Just don’t go? It’s not that hard.


  • There’s a difference between having a preference/orientation and outright saying “no trans people” on your profile, imo. The former is totally fine and I think the vast majority of people think the same. If you did the latter, I would definitely remove that. It’s unnecessary and can make people feel shitty. Just swipe left on people you aren’t attracted to, and if you find a dealbreaker while talking to someone, politely disengage.

    In general, I find it’s best to avoid putting any kind of negative thing in your bio. Both because you run the risk of making people feel bad for no reason, and because psychologically, you want people to associate you with positive things about you, not the things you dislike. Most people have a lot of dealbreakers that are far too numerous and exhausting to enumerate anyway. Just asses for yourself, and if you don’t like something about someone, move on.
