While my comment is about c++, not c, I did learn about one use case where rust is strictly worse than c++. Unbelievably low latency applications. Such as software that trades stocks. The way it's implemented, is by sharing memory addresses across code intentionally having the same address written to and read from across threads. Something rust is sort of designed to not support.

It's the only use case I know of where that's true.

Okay, I do think this makes you sound crazy.

I'm putting my question first before I rant about this cause I think I got way more into this response than is warranted.

What problem does this design of just creating bespoke functions have that your design solves?

def mean(numbers):
    return efficient calculation
def normalization(numbers):
    return efficient calculation
def geometric_mean(numbers):
    return efficient calculation

Rant starts here:

With your design, every time someone wants an average of a set of numbers, you're reimplementing the actual logic. Then if someone forgets the +1 and writes:

quotient_reduce(sum, lambda x,y: x, numbers)

A bug is introduced that's hard to spot in a review, won't give an error, and is hard to write tests for. Turning the lambda to an enum meant to be passed around would solve a some of the accidental bugs, but keeps the interaction with the function more complicated.

I really just don't understand why you wouldn't just write each efficient implementation as it's own function and call it directly.

I paid $350 for a similar kit back in October. Same kit selling at the same place is 4k...

Yup! Started leaving my phone in the living room charging when I go to bed so I can't doom scroll.

I kinda did that? When I got sober in my mid 20s I also didn't seek out romantic relationships for years. I had too much of myself to figure out first. Though I didn't stop being friends with women, just wasn't really all that interested dealing with the emotions required to date.

I've been using it for awhile now for the same reason, and think I'm going to switch back to sh as it has too many suggestions which I read and it interrupts my thoughts and slows me down.

I am also not into cars and this just became my personal favorite example of how well marketing works. I had basically thought they were some of the best.

I doubt this will have any major effect, the vast majority of people don't care. They are much better at ruining themselves.

It can, depending on plan. Mine covers emergencies everywhere in the country regardless of in my state or not. But I better not need a normal dr appointment on vacation.

Though medication can be pretty easily accessed using a national chain like cvs or walgreens.

I can't remember where I saw it, but I read an article saying tests should be left closed source as using AI to make it bug free without the tests will be significantly harder. Creates a moat of sorts.

None of my non-programmer friends use anything like that. They use the smart tv or their console to play videos.
