At this point I suspect anyone who even asks that question of concern trolling. The evidence is overwhelming.

That's a weird way to avoid providing evidence :)

You're right: I didn't answer the question, because I suspect it was asked in bad faith to begin with, given that a simple online search would yield ample evidence. Much of which has already been discussed here on HN.

Given that you've dismissed said evidence provided in other comments as not compelling and/or you attacked the source without addressing the evidence, I think my concern was well placed.



Rust jobs: 0.04

Python jobs: 0.9

Seems about right, maybe.

Except there's no way PHP (0.09), Ruby (0.07) and Go (0.1) are on the same magnitude as Rust jobs.

So this site doesn't pass the sniff test for me.


So it just must be the case that Rust has more jobs because that smells right to you? Even compared to Go which has found a nice niche in networking?

If Rust is as good as its evangelists say it is, we won't have to worry about how the stats smell, we'll see it, and it won't rely on some "Cnile" conspiracy to keep it down either.


I think you've got the parent backward: they're saying that Rust "should" have far less jobs than these other technologies.

If your parent is wrong, happy to be corrected. I thought it was interesting that we read the post in completely opposite ways, and I think both readings can be accurate. I based my reading on a vague remembering that I think the parent isn't a fan of Rust, which is fuzzy and also may be wrong!


> People have free speech, but obviously that doesn't mean you are free to say things that could be considered hateful or factually untrue.

So people don't actually have free speech.


The actual outcomes of those different voting systems is still a dominant US that is increasingly leaving the rest of the Western world behind.

So maybe we should be learning from them?


We are getting old, are having few if any children, yet our social contract is built on a series of Ponzi schemes that become unmaintainable under such circumstances. The temporary band-aid fix of mass migration is seemingly bringing many old and proud nations to a boiling point. We like our regulations, we like our welfare state, we like our extensive holidays and work life balance, and we’re not willing to budge on any of them, really. There’s too many contradictions in the system now. I’m not sure what it would take for this “will” to materialise, but I’m afraid if it does happen, it’ll come about due to some form of neo-fascism than a glorious rejuvenation of our current political order.

If the will doesn’t materialise, well, that’s exactly what civilisational collapse looks like in the historical record.

Either way, I’m not really seeing the optimistic outlook for Europe.


> Those Romanians are not Hungarian citizens.

Those “Romanians” are absolutely Hungarian citizens, as it is a precondition to voting in Hungarian elections.


We’re rapidly approaching that reality, yes.

Maybe Switzerland?


If people in Switzerland wanted that they could vote for it. But they actually prefer having limits on other peoples' speech more than they resent the limits on their own, so they don't.


Once they all start doing it, it won't matter.



I have the exact same problem, except on Uber Eats.
