He just wants to bring back tenants for his cronies at all costs...

Clearly he was right. Not sure how else to call what's going on now. Many people now are doomed. You just don't hear about them - This makes their suffering worse, not better. It's…

In my day, nobody would sweat this trivial stuff. You need to travel for work, big deal! It's always been this way! Nowadays there are so many good easy jobs in the city, so many f…

Millennials are without a doubt, the laziest and most incompetent generation we've had in a long time. They spend all their energy chasing experiences instead of saving for the fut…

The best way to stop global warning is through intervention by Central Banks. We need to create monetary policy which promotes incentives such as green energy and carbon capture te…

Innovation can harm efficiency by creating needless competition which is wasteful. That's why innovation should be in the hands of corporations. The government should introduce law…

Interesting. It reminds me of Capitalisk https://capitalisk.com/ except without quantum resistance and harder to setup.

Maybe not completely, but they all profit from having an element of deception. They are drawing attention away from better projects by hoarding all the top spots on all the exchang…

>> So Stellar, Cardano and XRP are all scams? When Stellar started, they were all about 'Quorums'; trying to imply that this was the secret sauce which would allow it to scale unli…

Name any major project and I can tell you why it's a scam. Bitcoin: Uses the electricity of a country to process 2 transactions per second. Layer 2 solutions such as Lightning Netw…

There is a massive difference. In monopoly, everyone gets the same amount when they cross 'Go'. If we had taken the rule from the real world, people would be paid proportionally to…

The vast majority of top projects are essentially scams and the real projects are not in the rankings. Even promising projects seem to turn into scams once they get into the top 20…

Our society is not capitalist. New currency is constantly being printed out of nothing and pumped into the system. That's not a free market. Businesses just follow the money. It ca…

It would be an interesting experiment if you could show me the GitHub repo of the best written open source FP project you've ever encountered and I could point out its flaws and ra…

It's always the case that when I present these arguments above to FP devs, they respond with personal insults instead of counter-arguments. This suggests that they know my argument…

>> I feel really sorry for you if... I never said that this is what I believe. I said it's what a lot of people in the corporate sphere believe. It's the opposite of what I believe…

If the article only attacked that specific book "Clean Code", then I would not be as critical. But the first line in the article suggests that it is an attack against the entire id…

This article is garbage. The argument is basically like saying "famous scientist X was wrong about Y, let's stop doing science. Clearly there is no point to it." I cannot believe w…

State mutations are safe and easy to handle if the state is fully contained inside a blackbox (a class) and you only return copies of the state but never the actual references. A b…

Yes, but the difference is that OOP can scale indefinitely but FP cannot. If you don't co-locate related state and logic, ensuring that each piece of state reaches the correct comp…

Functional programming is OK up to a certain degree of complexity... Good if you have a lot of junior developers on your team because it prevents certain kinds of mistakes which ju…

That's not a great option in most cases either. You need social connections or else your product will never sell.

Nice, this is a broader way to explain the effectiveness of my CSS approach and many other approaches. IMO, Modern developers should read fewer books about tools and more books abo…

A single developer who can complete projects in the same amount of time as 10 or 100 or 1000 regular developers to at least the same quality standard (but usually to a higher quali…

There are so many. Sometimes they're big picture stuff, sometimes they're more detailed. One of the lessons I learned in my junior years is that I used to write CSS with a lot of n…
