No language is perfect, thats kind of the point of the author going from erlang to gleam to rust.

How does it all work?

Did you compare nix to npm? Is there a good comparison out there?

The intended userbase of pass is clearly not non-tech-savvy/non-security aware philipinno mothers, so your remark is irrelevant.

You mean that bash interprets the path and creates the socket itself?

Do you need a whole OS, or just a specialized WM/Display manager? I assume a text based interface(e.g. console) world be the simplest to support?

The two parts article does acknowledge inefficiencies and losses, but dismisses them

According to the article author it requires costly infrastructure on the moon, compared to their proposal of beaming energy through microwave from Earth.

I disagree that naming something correctly always takes no time. Sometimes a useful and correct name is non-obvious, or repetitive, or you're trying to name something abstract or g…

That's subjective. It clearly interests lots of people.

Do you know for a fact that cutting carbon emissions will bring more rain to those places that are drying up? How quickly? How much time will it take between everyone getting reaso…

Lots of things are shocking if true. Without context this sounds like a nutty conspiracy theory painting doctors as a eugenist death cult.

I guess the issue is that for lot of commercial work, "good enough, cheaper" is more attractive than "better than most, at the right price". Of course that's not a rule always, eve…
