  • My biggest advice when learning Rust is to use it the way you would use any other language. Learning about its advanced and unique features will likely distort how often you will be using or coming across them.

    Rust is a very powerful and friendly language without using complicated things like boxes, dyns, refcells, rcs, arcs, etc. When you come across the need to use those features, they will make a lot more sense because you will see how they are relevant to your specific task at hand.





  • You are completely missing the fact that poverty is a relative concept.

    poor people whose lives could’ve been saved with this money perish.

    Saving lives isn’t a “relative concept.” I said nobody will be brought out of poverty from this, which is true. I also said no lives would be saved from this, which is also true.

    You only focused on the poverty aspect of my argument because it was easier to argue against, and you still failed to debunk it because nobody was brought out of poverty from this.

    What are you going to say next to defend passing a bunch of money around at the top? Anything to avoid admitting you’re supporting the problem.



  • Why do you think his neighbors don’t need the money?

    They will survive without it. There are plenty of other people who have to survive with less, and plenty more who have even less and don’t survive.

    How do you know he isn’t also donating to people in real need?

    That’s not what he’s getting praised for.

    And why exactly shouldn’t he have money?

    Watch your wording. I never said he shouldn’t have money. He shouldn’t have the excess that he has, though. Good job trying to change my argument with something that’s easier to argue against. It’s a tried-and-true tactic among the willful ignorance crowd.

    He shouldn’t have that much money because the only reason why he, or anyone else, has those excesses is because others do not have enough. It really is that simple. But here you are praising him for “giving back” a minuscule amount of what he shouldn’t have in the first place.

    This money is also going to end up in the hands of people who shouldn’t have it in the first place and the only reason others don’t have enough is because they have too much.

    Did you personally determine the correct amount he’s allowed to have?

    Yep.

    Sounds like a lot of certainty for someone who probably doesn’t have all the facts.

    Sounds more like you don’t want to understand how you’re supporting the problem and want to fit in with your peers. I know what I’ll put my money on.
