This is so wrong. I would absolutely prefer no comments over incorrect comments, which is exactly what happens when things get over commented

Exactly this. Anyhow makes error handling in rust actually a joy. It’s only something you need to consider if you’re writing a library for others to use, and in that case, it’s good that rust forces you to be very very explicit

That syntax looks atrocious

Are you using an IDE like rustrover? Rust is by far the easiest language I’ve worked with. It makes it so the only way to write code is the right way

Terrible meme. Go is bad and you should feel bad

I checked. You people are week. But anyway apparently it’s a crypto thing now. What a time to be alive

You’re wrong because literally everyone on Lemmy is 37

Untrained people shouldn’t be self-diagnosing based on hearing a list of symptom

This is literally what everyone does. How else would it possibly even work? “Oh shit you mean my foot numbness is a symptom of diabetes?”. Like, this is just how human interaction works.

And I don’t expect any one doctor to know of every treatment that exists for every illness, because that’s what collaborative knowledge bases are for. A carefully moderated medical Wikipedia that can be contributed to by doctors and researchers

What does this have to do with what we’re talking about. Are you saying that the doctor should just input every symptom that every patient gives them to a medical Wikipedia? Because otherwise how would they know of new drugs? They may think they know exactly how to treat whatever symptom, but if they’re not continually looking it up very single time, they’ll miss new meds.

But all of this wouldn’t make the pharmesutical companies as much money as peddling to hypochondriacs so instead we have ads.

What you described is not even remotely a solution to the actual problem of 1. people not knowing their symptoms are potentially from a disease that has a treatment. and 2. doctors knowing that treatment exists

This is a terrible take. Advertising medicine makes a ton of sense. People don’t always know what symptoms are actually something that has a cure. They see an ad for a drug and think “oh shit, I have those symptoms, let me go the to doctor”. Otherwise they just live with what they think is normal.

But further, DOCTORS don’t even know what new drugs exist. Patients advocating for themselves is a HUGE benefit. So a patient might come in and ask for a drug that the doctor has never even heard of so never would have even considered prescribing it even if it was the right drug.

It’s a rhetorical question when presented like that

Yeah, you fit right in

Look at some of their other comments. They’ll fit right in with the other lemmy devs

Wtf

At least you don’t have to tell people it was a cartoon squirrel

he was taking a swing at high melodrama as overpriced soap operas

That’s not how I would describe it

And it’s not really a satire at all

Rust just has lousy compiler warnings.

You’re the only person I’ve ever heard this from. Rust’s compiler warnings are amazing. Like 2nd to none

Even twin peaks?

You’re missing the point. Tools are different. Trying to learn and use rust by writing unsafe bubble sort is pointless. Use it to actually accomplish something and you’ll find out just how amazing it is.

Using the ecosystem that exists to be productive and not have to think at all about whether what you’re doing is correct is the point. It catches the subtle errors for you and lets you use the powerful libraries like clap for command line parsing, tokio, etc.

Once you get the hang of rust you don’t ever need to ask it to do unsafe things. It’s not really any faster to do things unsafe

I don’t have custom wallpapers on my computers for some reason.
