Literally the first thing you do on NoStupidQuestions is attack the person asking the question.

And then go on a rant that doesn’t actually address the question. I honestly don’t even know if you read the same OP that I did here…

Cmon, that’s not acceptable behavior here.

Because the lowest common denominator is much MUCH lower than you think it is.

This means it’s easy to indoctrinate and easy to maintain that for a massive number of people.

Scientific illiteracy is extremely high, and actual “6th grade reading comprehension” is the highest level of literacy for > 50% of a country like the U.S. and ~20% are low literacy or actually illiterate.

This means that half of everyone in the U.S. can read and understand what they read at or below a 6th grade level. This isn’t “reading big words”, it’s “tell us about what you read”, “what is the relationship between x & y” type questions.

This comment for example, up to this point only, would be difficult to understand & comprehend for > 50% of people in the U.S. (it demands an 11th grade reading comprehension). And may be misread, misunderstood, or not understood at all.

People are driven to religions to cults and alt conspiracy theories when they don’t understand how the world works around them. They latch onto extremely simple often misleading or incorrect ideas of how the world works because they can understand it and it “makes sense” within their sphere of ignorance (we all have one, this isn’t meant to be a disparaging term).

This means that the problem is that humans are just not smart enough to escape religion yet. It’s the simplest answer, and it appears to be correct.

The language it’s written in has very little, almost nothing, to do with how efficient larger applications are.

This is almost entirely up to the design and day-to-day decisions of the developers. These almost always outweigh the efficiencies of the underlying languages themselves (within reason).

A single location of poor data access patterns could negate the aggregate performance gains of your entire application, as an example. A framework that prevents you from making simple mistakes and drives you towards more efficient patterns goes much further than the language is written in.

Between Rust, C#, Java, and Go you’re essentially even on performance for large applications (with C# pushing ahead of the pack). What you are not even on is engineering efficiency, it’s going to take considerably longer to build the same set of features in rust than any of the others listed. And the performance is likely the same, potentially even worse depending on the maturity of the ecosystem.

Rust is a great systems design language and a great language to choose when developing high efficiency libraries & frameworks for I/O and data processing. It’s not really a great choice for application development due to how slow it is to actually get things done in.

I fully expect to see alternate backends written in more operationally efficient languages over the next decade that will catch up to the official Lemmy codebase, and potentially even replace it. It actually sounds like a super fun project, funding is always a problem though.

I love how you’re getting down voted for a completely sane and logical take.

When you say a locally owned pharmacy, can you elaborate?

The ones I’m familiar with are just at big stores here.

• Yes, U.S.
• I would pick up the dilute serum from the allergist and transport it myself. It’s specifically created for just me (The exact serum), so it’s not something attainable from the pharmacy.

Thank you so much for the knowledge! I’m going to take this and see what I can do. Thank you 🙏

Yeah, I thought it sounded unhinged. But I’m desperate, and don’t want to put myself at risk of a preventable death.

I’ve spent the greater part of my life as a shut in largely because I’m a sniffling, coughing, sneezing mess all day and night every day for 6-8 months of the year. And simply a sniffly mess for the rest.

I had one good summer last year and I can’t believe what I’m missing. Being able to do activities like hiking, or biking, going to the grocery store without being treated like I have the plague. Actually being able to go out to a restaurant or public places. Making friends, and actually being able to join them. Going to the movies…etc Not having to carry a whole-ass box a Kleenex with me everywhere I go.

It made me into a desperate man, realizing how much life I’m missing.

The comments here are fantastic, and incredibly helpful.

My allergist mentioned these, and noted that this is likely to be ineffective for me. Insurance also didn’t want to pay for it, though they shoveled out $4k for the serum for shots.

If I can’t get shots here though, I’ll try anything.

Morning. One of my devices has been running unactivated W10 for something like 4+ years now.

Butt hurt much

Please go back to Facebook, YouTube comments, or even Reddit with this petulant behavior.

No one here wants this sort of low quality, personally, attacking, bratty behavior in their discussions.

Do the productions actually have this in place?

I’m curious how you simulate recoil without firing a blank 🤔

Wait, maybe I’m not up to speed on the details here. But are you not pointing guns with blanks at people in movies…?

It’s not the entire point of Cinema in that you are simulating, faking, an actual interaction?

Oh look, another “We’re not doing enough” doomsayer dismissing good news because no one else is allowed to celebrate positive things.

Ah, the circle of life

They usually do yes however it’s all about prioritization.

You may have hundreds or thousands or open requests and issues.

With tens of thousands of closed issues that were either not reproducible, not actually problems, or largely indecipherable.

There’s usually a feature roadmap which is where most of the development money and time is spent. If it’s an older business application then certain bugs might easily take weeks to find, fix, test, validate, go through user acceptance, A/B test, and then deploy. But fixing is expensive work, so if the bug isn’t severe it’s usually deprioritized next to higher priority work.

Mhm, tasty anti intellectualism.

I thought I explained that pretty well no?

If you had a grain of rice that tasted unimaginably, unmitigably, good. The highest quality grain of rice ever seen in the world, in all of history.

It will not change the flavor of 30k bowls of rice.

We’re talking an absolutely tiny amount of users here. And we shouldn’t delude ourselves over it, circle jerking for being the “higher society”. Reddit didn’t change because we left, the number of users on Reddit change more on a daily basis than 5 Lemmy’s.

That said, the smaller niche subs definitely saw some hits. I won’t deny that. However, by definition, a small number of users leaving from small subs isn’t a “gotcha” moment for what I’ve stated. That’s is, almost by definition, what would be expected.

The discussions here are of higher quality for sure. But you’ll still notice that in many threads it’s almost indistinguishable from Reddit in many ways.

I last did this math a while back so let me redo it.

Lemmy != The fediverse. Lemmy is fairly small with 45k monthly active users. https://fedidb.org/software/lemmy

Reddit has 430 million monthly active users (70m daily) according to their disclosures for IPO.

So a 0.000104 multiple. Or 0.01% a little less than 2x my previous calculation. So, still a tiny number.
