There's no solution to the halting problem, so you might as well stop writing garbage collectors. How does the argument "people are biased, therefore anything goes" appeal to anybody is beyond me.
- ianleeclark 6y agoI'm not saying, "people are biased, therefore anything goes." I'm saying: chasing neutrality is akin to chasing a unicorn.

- ianleeclark 6y ago> You can never be truly neutral, but that's not an excuse not to try. Has it ever occurred to you that maybe a magazine doesn't want to be neutral? Maybe that's their competitive edge, maybe that's what their customers are after. You're just imposing your own values on a business entity.
