I’m wary of these kinds of stories, where someone PR-savvy with a grudge lobs nebulous complaints against a company. Can anyone at BO without a grudge substantiate this “toxicness”?
For integer primitives, all possible values are valid. Just allowing binary initialization for structs that consist of integer types would allow compatibility with C structure. As it is, I have to either resort to unsafe code or manually deserialize every struct
I really wish there was a safe way to initialize structs with arbitrary binary data in rust. Perhaps I'm missing something, but it seems intuitively safe, especially if the struct only contains integer primitives.
This is not the same point addressed in the post. The post references the 80/20 attractiveness bias. YetAnotherMatt is referencing a different phenomenon - that men rate women similarly to each other, whereas women rate men with much higher variance.

It’ll blow up some time after the abort sequence, due to loss of active control at a relatively low altitude and relatively high speed. It’s not simulating an explosion as part of the test, AFAIK.
It suddenly started returning corrupted frames. So engineers had it slowly transmit a core dump, and found a single flipped bit. To fix the problem, they "reset" the computer, which I assume means they rebooted it.
Rust is build around the expectation that allocations happen automatically and can never fail. I’m curious to see how they deal with this in a kernel...
