It's possible we could see a reversal like we did in food, once people catch on and realize how empty it all is. The health food/organic craze came out of a disenchantment with the old guard. Realness and integrity became the th

Worth noting that Venmo is owned by PayPal, and from what I've heard its tech is trash (on top of probably the same bureaucratic issues). People I've known at PayPal have said they would never ever put their financial info into Ve

Twitter de-emphasized one because it violated their policy by advocating violence, and added a fact check to another that was blatantly and verifiably false. Neither was removed completely. Zuckerberg specifically said Facebook would do not

The thing is these really are issues that need to be talked about and addressed, and they really have fallen on deaf ears in the past because of lack of popular force. The people in charge just keep posturing, brushing it off, saying "

Economics, economics, economics. Companies only put the amount of effort into their software that's necessary to optimize profits. Startups are incentivized to move fast and break things, and then to keep adding to their broken prototy

It's my guess that a rich static type system would be harder to implement for a non-functional language, due to mutability and such. Though there could also just be cultural overlap between the people who want to write a small statical

I'm aware of all the complications with getting a precise number, I'm more just wondering if there's been a rough - or even anecdotal - improvement in outcomes for people who do end up in the hospital

I'd be curious to know how and whether the death rate has changed over time. We've learned a whole lot since the "first wave", including the fact that it doesn't seem to really be a respiratory illness at all, but

You're missing the point. The point is that Rust came from Mozilla . Its mind-share started with web people and is expanding from there. What I'm trying to get across is that those social forces can matter more for adoption tha

The whole reason people don't like JavaScript weighing down their pages is because they take longer to load. Loading three large images for every update can't be better.

A language is more than just a technology: it's an ecosystem of libraries, platform APIs, developer mindshare and experience, familiarity, legacy codebases, product support. Don't discount the weight of all of those auxiliary, hum

I have not used it before. I just assumed that - whether a percentage or a flat fee - the amount would be... deterministic at least? That the entity being paid the fee would at least state their price somehow, instead of the user having to
