    Because the companies that are pushing for DC constructions are corruptors, and some politicians are easy to corrupt.

    The problem isn't the availability of lower quality versions of a high-quality product, it's the transformation of a formerly high-quality product into a shitty-quality version, me…

    You're not the only one. In college I took a compilers course and we used the dragon book, to me it sucked the joy out of the magical concept of making a compiler. Some years later…

    Do you have any links to support this? Because the commonality of all arguments _against_ has been that they make water and power crazy expensive for everyone that has to live clos…

    This right here is the right take.

    This is to laughably misguided that it leans toward malicious. I mean, you're talking about Elon, the Doge guy, the one who organized mass hoovering of citizens data from whatever …

    If it's impossible for a service provider to even talk to its customers, why is it in operation at all?

    On the other hand, EVERY young person in my circle (my kids and their friends) is insanely privacy aware. All of that means ... we're not part of the young people anymore?

    I think there's more than enough evidence that Zuck has not grown to see others as human beings.

    Have you tried Nim? Strong and static typed, versatile, compiles down to native code vía C, interops with C trivially, has macros and stuff to twist your brain if you're into that,…

    Not disagreeing, just a question: if you were to catch it, would you stay inside until you're healthy again and not a danger to others?

    It's not just its age, it's how easy it is (was?) to jump in and start writing useful code that could be revisited later on and be able to read it and understand it again. All of t…

    I kind of object to this take. Nobody's talking about porting billions of lines of code, for all we know it's just for personal projects, or a learning experience. This kind of rep…

    You're not wrong. I've seen so many things announced that make me ask myself "But, why?".

    If only you'd bothered to quote the rest of the sentence: "Android-like touch screen UI with gestures" Could have used also "IPad-like..." or "IPhone-like..." and it would have mea…

    You're being willfully dense, I do not believe it's up for debate. Governments that public force to kidnap, torture, murder, "disappear" their own citizens, are bad. Plenty of exam…

    Because, nature in its infinite wisdom, gets rid of what's not used. You don't use your muscles? They atrophy. You don't make an effort to travel without a gps regularily, to force…
