Comment Re: Long since been paid (Score 2) 222

In San Francisco, the problem has gotten so bad that I know people with cars that have been broken into six or more times in one year. Itâ(TM)s very bad here. People do leave their doors unlocked and windows down here. Not everyone. But more than you would think. Laptops are one of the main targets. Anyhow, before Apple activation locked iPhones, we had theft rings and muggings over iPhones. I have witnessed at least three. I know a guy that was mugged at gun point. Locking the parts made them even less valuable for stripping. There are not lucrative items for theft any longer.

Itâ(TM)s also the frameworks and libraries that provide layers of inefficiency. If Rust had a larger ecosystem, youâ(TM)d see fat packages combining together to make a Rust on Rails⦠complete with an over engineered logging system to write lines of text. IMO, Rust apps are still lean because there arenâ(TM)t libraries for every trivial task and the libraries that still exist arenâ(TM)t for novice work. Some of the slowest code Iâ(TM)ve worked with was written in C++. They wrote it like somebody writes PHP. Oh, and they rewrote the STL to make it safer, by throwing mutexes behind every collection operation. Developers can still write bubble sort in Rust.

Comment Such a waste of time. It is not a job. (Score 1) 151

If you donâ(TM)t like the pay, close the app. Quitting is not necessary because it is not employment. Just close the app. You do not need to let anyone know if you will not be showing up the next day, because there is not an office. If you change your mind or are bored, open the app again! If you feel like working for a competitor, go ahead, even at the same time. There are almost no obligations put upon you between rides. If an app on your phone hires you, itâ(TM)s probably not a real job.
