Still, if there's way too much looping logic strewn around the code, that's probably because the code lacks good abstractions for the most routine data access tasks in this code. If the code used more objects, each data type would

I have. Unless there's something new in the last few months, they left some things out that might sway my opinion (slightly) about whether Avery actually committed a crime but nothing that would sway my opinion on how the system treat

Dredging my comment history for rhetorical ammunition is rather creepy. I defended Moldbug's right to free speech because I saw no credible argument that he deserved to be punished for it. I did get angry at the smugness of tptacek&#x

This is so dishonest. The medium post[1] is about a specific media enquiry, which did not ask about his functional programming work at all. Yarvin stated, for good or ill, that he intended to answer the questions honestly. Your criticism

Media's culpability in the rise of Trump is that they have spent the last 5-10 years squandering their reserves of trust with increasingly transparent and dishonest propaganda. There are two important consequences. First, the most obv
