What guidelines?

I can't believe how infestated HN is with communist-brainwahed youngsters... tired of your crap. Go live in fuckin North Korea if you enjoy equality so much - everyone is equal the…

So it seems to me that the Irish government should be punished, not Apple. Apple did nothing illegal.

Not a chance. For any globalisation / unification force there is an equal and opposite force pulling towards autonomy / authenticity / diversity. Language is a very core component …

How huge is it? What's something that you can access now that you couldn't before?

Can't wait!

You don't seem to understand much about evolution, or life. Claiming that evolution is a random, unguided "whatever works" process is mere ignorance. To everyone who has ever looke…

Shorter to type, for starters.

This must be the most blatantly hypocritical statement I have ever read. Money is STOLEN by corporations by not paying taxes??? How ignorant and thankless can you be? Money is CREA…

Let's put it this way: there is nothing I would do in Python, that I wouldn't do in Elixir. For all intents and purposes, that's general purpose.

I happen to have the exact same reaction to both (and it's not the kinder one).

Elixir _is_ the correct answer. Not sure what you mean by "narrow focus" - it is as general purpose as anything. Only thing holding me back from fully moving from Python to Elixir …

I've been told this a number of times. I've never read any Ayn Rand - probably should. I was, however, born and raised in communism, as were my parents, so I talk from experience.

You are clearly incompetent about the subject. The "ideal" of communism and the practice of communism are not two different things. Communism is practiced precisely the way it is t…

In what twisted mind is communism an acceptable proposition???

It is orders of magnitude beyond stupid - it's utterly brainless. So your nation has PROVIDED you with your values, huh? Yay. The objective of patriotism has been achieved. Now go …

Any move away from the stupidity of patriotism is good in my books.

Definitely rightness, not goodness. A "good God" would never punish. Only one with an ulterior agenda (and therefore not a true creator) would resort to punishment.

You can also reject sunlight if you want to. Guess who you're screwing up?

Do Americans actually sincerely believe that they live in an actual "free society" / "democracy" / whatever... Blows my mind.

Not my experience at all. In hotels I tend to sleep like a baby, often better than I do at home.

BS. All of mainstream media is (and has always been, by design) a tool for _manipulating_ public opinion, not for reflecting reality. So any talk about objectivity in journalism is…

Then you're an idiot.
