It’s more that you can avoid many mistakes by programming defensively and having good discipline. For example, you can avoid many memory allocation if you follow RAII and use smart pointers.
Null references can be avoided by avoiding using null (and prefer using optional where it makes sense).
There’s no shortage of developers with lots of experience in writing Java backends. People know what to do and what to avoid. The pool of available contributors should be larger.
Backends in Rust is relatively uncommon.
This thread chain started with:
Meh. Java feels like a downgrade.
Sublinks using Java is not about Rust hate. They just thought it was the better choice for them.
Writing backends in Java is super common. Rust for backend is almost unheard of (yet).
Or that other language do you propose?
The good thing about Python is that it’s widely used. Easier to find people who can contribute in Python than Rust, which Lemmy is using.
Downside is that Python isn’t ideal for large scale systems. Other languages like Java is better at protecting the programmer against common pitfalls that come when building larger applications. Python is more ideal for smaller scripts.
100 player survival mode could be fun. It worked for Tetris and Mario, and I can imagine something similar would work for Crazy Taxi.
As long they manage to maintain a steady player base and stay away from predatory monetary practices - which probably is just wishful thinking.
Could be like Mario 35, which was pretty fun
Side note, I’m impressed Vimm’s lair is still going strong. I remember using it to get SNES ROMs for ZSNES early 2000s.
Thanks. I’m content with my own solitude, but I can admit the affirmation I got from this event felt nice, even though it was all stimulated.
Not too bad, but could be better.
A funny story about my not so great love life: just matched with a girl on Tinder which I managed to have engaging text discussions with and it felt quite genuine. This is rare for me, so I was happy about it.
Well, in the end it became obvious to me it was just a pig butchering romance scam when she started to talk about how she can help me invest in cryptocurrency.
I guess I’m going to be a failure in love life for a bit longer lol.
It’s about mixed reality after all
I can’t speak from the British Commonwealth perspective, but from a Swedish perspective my opinion is this regarding having a monarch:
Yeah, it might not reflect our modern values well, but since the (Swedish) monarch is mostly ceremonial and completely unpolitical, there’s actually quite little to hate about it. They’re just the mascot of the country. There’s far more pressing issues in our country than having that confused old guy as head of state.
At least he doesn’t possess nuclear launch codes.
That’s what I have been told and that’s why I have been avoiding creating an account
For me I hated Quora because of how locked down it is. Want to view another question on the site? Must register an account first! No fucking thanks. It was always nagging about creating an account.
Because of this I actively ignored Quora results anytime I googled something.

My guess to why the ads are so different:
The firms making the ads are probably completely separate from the developers. Could be just random people from fiverr making the ads. They get barely any gameplay footage, so they just come up with some random gameplay that looks fun in an ad.
I guess the game developers might be some random people from fiverr as well.
As to why it works: no idea. I guess some people just don’t care, and given how cheap these games are to make they probably just need a few people to break even.
And if I happen to click on those videos only to confirm it’s not for me they will be like “omg, he’s crazy about this video! Let’s recommend 10 different variations of this video from now on!”
Sometimes it keeps recommending me the same videos even if have no intention of ever watching them.
As you said, the difference is in the ecosystem of libraries. This is where Java has the edge. It has a more mature ecosystem when it comes to web server backends. This includes the number of frameworks, programmers and information sources.
Unless Rust clearly solves common problems people currently have with Java backends, Java will remain the dominant alternative. I believe this is unlikely, because Rust is mainly designed to overcome common memory problems people have with low level C systems without the overhead of garbage collectors.
