one benefit is that you can effectively embed the concept directly into the type system, allowing for ergonomic expression of actor model code. i'm not sure to what extent pony does this, though i believe it's capability typing w

in my experience at least some of those who openly/seriously call themselves dicks are low-level sadists that just enjoy being abusive or insensitive and use the "self-aware" commentary as an equivalent to the standard "

my point was that people don't know the full scope and nature of what google does, so suggesting they're 'better' is comical.

it seemed to me you were saying that your received benefit in exchange for not being able to change the battery... was that you now had to pay someone else to do it. which is a bit odd. i would wager that their post was trying to highlight

to be clear, i wasn't suggesting that starving ukraine was fake or propaganda. my point is about how such an event is used in propaganda. dictatorship is dictatorship, regardless of any claims to social or economic organization.

the 100 million meme seems like such lame propaganda. when stalin starved ukraine, were those deaths "because of communism"?

people can get started on that, and probably are. but the web exists, and the web is pervasive. it doesn't make any sense to abandon it until a replacement arrives... just as it makes no sense to simply abandon gas engines (and what,

your link states: "To classify a case as a false allegation, a thorough investigation must yield evidence that a crime did not occur." 2-10% provably false allegations does not mean 90-98% are true. i have little doubt that most a
