Ah yes. Is this similar to the social contact that expects teachers to be underpaid and put up with abuse?

The bill actually needs to get to his desk first...

We've created an economy where that is not sustainable.

This fact is bad imo, but it's where we are.

Given how easy it's been to prove you wrong with actual events. Pretty clear you're in an echo chamber of your own.

Cheaper. Better. Easier (at least for me).

I use a straight razor with disposable blades by Feather. Which is faster than the safety razor but, uh, safety razors are called "safety" for a reason. Probably will go back to the safety razors.

I use Scala. Huge fan. Both for work and personal projects. Not wildly popular, so i get asked this by my team. This is what i tell them:

Focus on the patterns, design and theory. Those last longer than the language. What is enabled by language? What is difficult? What does the type system let you prove? How do you utilize the type system? How does the execution of the language work? What is the runtime like?

Language development itself has evolved. There is no longer a huge jump from one language to another because, well, we've figured out a lot of it. Want to learn rust? The patterns and concepts you learn with Scala will still apply. Go? Same, just a different form and you'll probably be asking about monads in short order. :)

If i look at future trends. Real far stuff. Stuff that will only become popukar years from now. Well, some of it exists now in esoteric languages. Those languages wont be useful for jobs, but studying them now preps you for the future.

Elixir is further future than Go. Go, like Java was, is not particularly novel but a very solid implementation of what we currently know.

Raise prices. Blame "the liberal agenda". Profit.

I figured he was going to be killed but my bet was on the old "fell from a window"

Windows is LLP64 which is dumb while Linux is LP64.

Ok. That only impacts C/C++ porting but still it's a silly choice by windows.

No fan of Russian leaders but their engineers are great. Hope they can figure out the issue and avoid the political drama.

They have a whole page dedicated to him: https://apnews.com/hub/julian-assange

I also get a chuckle when people attack the AP. I guess non profit collectives are threatening to communists. ;)

Right? This is so strange. If an earthquake alert is so vital for the country then, well, don't rely on the "generosity" of a for profit company.
