I was not attempting to describe you, and I apologize if that's what I communicated. My response was intended to be to your opening comment: I've never seen anybody suggest that you can't be bigoted against a dominant gro

You can't have rapport with a Twitter mob. Individuals, yes, but I've seen time and again when individuals are pressured by the mob until they finally turn on the friend who 'made a mistake' and excoriate them even more

That is a complete misreading of the clear statement that text is making!

It is part of the basic definitions of the Critical Theory worldview, and the underlying Marxist ideas behind it. (Yes, I know invoking those will cause people to presume I'm just parroting talking points, but I am being very precise.)

The example is so anodyne and the pattern of CoC changes so regular that I can't help but expect that this was opportunistic - waiting for any such example to jump on and institute these changes. The goal is to grant all offend/ed

The latter premise is false, as there is still some impedance to exhalation - air is not allowed through completely freely. That is not to say the impedance is great, but it must still be acknowledged that it exists and has an effect on the

That is malign use of data, undifferentiated by vastly different locales and policies across the nation, and not even accounting for per-capita.

But not to the exclusion of all other concerns.

You don't 'pragmatically' step outside of your constitutionally and/or legally defined boundaries. That is definitionally not pragmatic.

Quite a few comments that are dishonest or didn't focus on what the author focused on, but rather on auxiliary things. There are concrete similarities to PHP, which is effectively what this server/client macro setup gives you at a

It is about life. Don't impute motives that aren't there.

Yep, that's the kind of thing I try to consider in this subject. I think his take is intriguing and distinct enough to possibly have merit, but it's difficult to discuss it directly with the creator because... well, it's hard

Hmm. I'm intrigued what they come up with. The creator is something of a firebrand, who tends to 'no true scotsmen' other OOP languages. His ideas are interesting, but often seem impractical in other languages. If he comes up

Yep! I'd love to see something like this in Java, but it's unlikely, probably for the usual runtime type erasure reasons. Exceptions can be implemented in this way, and would strike a nice balance in doing so.

by Fellshard 5y ago
I mean, syntactic sugar is one thing, but being entirely incapable of creating variadic exceptions really hamstrings you in places where you don't wish to write a great deal of redundant code for each combination of exceptions you may

by Fellshard 5y ago
The main caveat is that oftentimes, checked exception handling doesn't compose well - see what kind of trouble Java gives you, for example. Recent articles I've read on effect modeling languages seems to give a more uniform constr

That's still nihilism, it's just trying to build new values ex nihilo.

It isn't /completely/, but many are invested in making it more divided than not.

The issue isn't solely lack of housing.

If you think they'll simply allow this to happen, I've got a UHF channel in Brooklyn to sell you.

At this point, by sheer institutional volume, 'mainstream' means 'American East Coast Left-liberal'.

People cannot be purely objective. That does not mean there is no objective truth.

Iron Realms did a good job with systems like that, as did other MUDs. When a fair amount of the game systems rely more on player construction and engagement to shape events, the world comes alive - the game becomes a framework for player in

That does lead to another solid explanation, too: post-Trump fatigue from all partisan media being cranked up to 11 for too long.

A conspiracy requires some common reason shared by both parties. I think there's some common-sense split reasons: 1. Left-side, Biden is pretty concerning - there's some serious mental issues showing regularly and undeniably, and
