this is a poor analysis. different factions of capital frequently go to war with each other - always over the question of who gets to profit. (in fact, in the final analysis, these irreconcileable schisms within the bourgeoisie are a necess

what does unemployment have to do with it? if you're 22 and paying off loans and suddenly find yourself unable to work as much but a barista, continued employment isn't exactly a perk. meanwhile, the benefits of the increased prod

here's the difference: the farmers are large industrial companies that lobby the government for subsidies, such that they can continue to produce food that can, by law, never be eaten. programmers, on the other hand, are wage laborers,

what was true centuries ago is no longer true. "he" is not gender neutral in English, in any sense of the term. it's only used as such in historical writing - languages evolve over time. "she" connotes as much knowl

and in emacs you can just redirect the command output to a buffer. or honestly, 99% of the time, I don't even bother redirecting and muck with the output directly in the eshell buffer.

the bigger issue is around the combination of closures, generic parameters, and traits. because higher-rank types can't be expressed and closures are all `impl Fn()`, you start to get an explosion in the complexity of managing the type

there's a moment with the language where you go from trying to do things the way you would have done them in another language and instead, your brain adapts, and you learn to do them the functional way. because it's Haskell, you l

This is much, much better on Emacs 27 with native json parsing. Once the language server is fully loaded (which can take a little while sometimes), input lag becomes insignificant again. Strongly recommend upgrading.

there's an element of "what will people actually do". 6 feet gets the idea across while not coming across as "don't be in the same room as other people", which people will ignore.

that prevents you from assigning null to a non-nullable reference. does it also error if you dereference a nullable reference without first checking if it's null?

This is the opposite of my experience. In practice, being forced to deal with edge cases makes you find implementations that eliminate them because dealing with each is painful.
