Yes but the syntax encourages patterns which would be uncommon in pre-ES6 JS. I can’t rely on TCO if chromium doesn’t have it.

Js really should have it. I think the shift in style from functional and manual prototype chains to Java classes is quite disappointing.

It’s also embarrassing to see a philosopher summarized in quotes or sayings when their real thesis is probably the opposite of what the snippet suggests, Philosophy is not about cl…

Apple is large. People free stronger allegiance to their cultural and ethnic groups than their companies. They just don’t want to get in trouble.

When you’re in these circles there is pressure to earn even more money (which is part of the employee retention plan). There is always someone richer. There is always a property yo…

We should track and fix buffer overflows. And you’re right, I don’t know all the ways this can be combined with other attacks related to the shell. But when I design a system the s…

Also a buffer overflow in user space for a tool not serving internet traffic is not a big deal.

Guaranteed destructors is probably the most complex features ever added to C++, more than templates or move semantics.

You just said they don't have enough money for investments. Why would they pay for an advisor? Can you clarify what you're trying to communicate on the topic of "financial advisors…

> wealth inequality which causes low wages This is a tautology. Low wages are caused by having skills which are in high supply and low demand. At my local McDonalds you can make 60…

When I see “stack overflow blog” the brand encodes distrust. I remember when they removed links to meta and replaced them with the corporate blog with low quality PR and political …

Saves money by not renting? This sounds like an Upper class 20 year old activity. Are they not renting a trailer so they can put $200/month in Tesla? The level of discipline and fo…

Bad strategy? Or on average not optimal?

What are you talking about? What is “rent”? You can rent an individual room. You can rent a double-wide trailer. You can move to Kentucky. You can work 40 hours (guaranteed 40-50k …

Nowhere is anyone saying this. Yes if you’re poor you are not in the market for a financial advisor. You’re also not in the market for a dentist or family doctor. These are service…

Many people go through a “homeless” period of not having a permanent address. Couch surfing. Motels etc. It’s not fun. It’s very stressful. Our systems have a positive feedback loo…

I don’t have any reason to think that international economies are not correlated to the US. But also I don’t expect them to be that successful. Europe and South-east Asia have a ma…

Australian and New Zealand private small business and consumer lending? while you’re at it maybe pick up some Indian bonds which have a high coupon close to 8%?

I don’t know what this has to do with financial advisors. People in that situation are not seeking investment advice.

Index funds are not risk free! We have had a solid 15 years and everyone forgot that there are decades of declines or stagnation.

The way people think and talk about money is also heavily dependent on class and culture. It’s very difficult to change. It’s not at all about typing it numbers on a calculator.

An advisor gives you emotional support and helps you not fuck it up.

Yes… I also wouldn’t park money in a savings account for 18 years. But 7% is not the risk free rate! The S&P and these other things have risk! But show me a bond I can buy that’s p…

I’m impressed by their uncharacteristic discipline and long term vision. In the big tech I know this would get pushed early.

None of that prevents Java from blowing up their language with complex features. They are somehow able to sit back and work on proposals for years and end up with what makes sense …
