Fort Sumter. You want to let Texas have nukes?

race to the bottom.

Winning what? At raising maternal mortality? At childhood asthma? At poisoning groundwater? What is Texas winning at?

Are you familiar with Georgia’s “Cop City”? This sort of thing does and has happened in the United States, and recently. > Carr obtained indictments against 61 people, alleging vio…

> were they charged and convicted with subversion, treason, or anything like a felony? Because that's what happen in HK. Not yet . But it’s obtuse bordering on disingenuous to clai…

This is so bleak, and the reason these bromides against CEOs appear is because this system of global capitalism is intent on commoditizing everything; even a CEO’s skill set. Some …

Please expand on the tension between the competing passages of “We have the technology to pause the worst effects..” and “It’s far from a complete solution”.

The phrase “since the dawn of humanity” is doing a lot of work in this comment. On a long enough timeline, the “world has ended” multiple times. This isn’t doomerism, it’s a pragma…

Thanks for the feedback. I was wrong about debug vs release; It's the difference between 4.0MB & 893KB on a ~500 LOC rust codebase (per cloc). I want to observe that your suggestio…

My direct experience with wasm32-unknown-uknown contradicts your own. I am building a yew on nightly, moving between release or debug affects nothing.

It's hard because, a lot of this stuff (async WASM, effect-driven WASM, GC in WASM, etc) is all driven by the desire to push these concerns out of wasm bytecodes, because it explod…

Capitalism and atomized market actors have subsumed the feudal patronage arrangements of the ancien regime. Would you say that you love this current system, but hate the outcomes?

I work on an open source system-f level lambda calculus named System R ( https://github.com/olsonjeffery/system_r ). I’m interested in this because I’m writing this LC dialect as a…
