Why is Microsoft rewriting all its code in Rust?

2024-05-13 06:09:24

To simplify development methods and reduce costs

C programmers are expensive and there are few of them. Moreover, they can leave for competitors. Meanwhile, the new RUST language allows writing safe code and hiring cheap beginners, which makes development easier and cheaper.

The company is structured in such a way that if programmers do nothing, they don't get paid. The KPI is low because it is calculated based on the number of lines of code written. That's why they love rewriting the same thing 100 times to increase their KPI.

Who will be the German chancellor in 2025?

2023-07-09 14:32:54

The CDU/CSU candidate will be the chancellor

According to the Civey Institute for Public Opinion Research, more than 40 percent of Germans believe that former German Chancellor Angela Merkel would be better able to cope with the current challenges as head of government than Scholz.

Parties are losing popularity because of the difficult situation in the economy: the welfare of citizens is falling against a background of 10% inflation caused by rising energy prices. All the problems will be blamed on the current chancellor.

What to expect from Trump?

2024-11-29 08:40:09

Trump will impose his demands and end up quarreling with everyone. He has not yet taken office, but has already promised to raise duties on non-American goods. He is expected to resolve the conflict in Ukraine, reduce spending, and escalate the trade war with China. European interests will be completely ignored.

If the U.S. imposes tariffs of 60 percent on all imports from China and raises tariffs on imports from other countries, lowers personal and corporate taxes, and deports millions of illegal immigrants, we can expect lower U.S. output, increased inflationary pressures, and increased market volatility. The U.S. economy has a strong impact on the global economy because of its size: the U.S. accounts for more than a quarter of global GDP. As a result, in the next three years, the growth rate of the world economy will decline by 2-3% per year. With global GDP growing at about 3% per year, it can be assumed that the world will stagnate at best and recession at worst.

Most likely, after his rule, few people will talk to America. Non-U.S. companies will have to look for other markets because they will be pressured by tariffs. South Korea is already subsidizing its chip companies due to the start of Trump's rule.
