“A moderated social democrat” who defends Venezuelan and Cuban dictators and who is running (admittedly!) as a puppet for a convicted corrupt politician who he plans to put out of jail. And the other guy is the fascist? You are either misin

There is actually an interesting parallel between the idea of prices in a free market as information (distributed knowledge as you put it) and the conservative notion (originally from Burke I believe) of traditions as information (from one

People now say they’re “gender fluid”. So given this fluidity it might make sense to always use the nonspecific pronoun in order to prevent retrospective character assassination due to something said without the ability to predict the futur

You’re selectively quoting. He said learning a fashionable js framework would be more desirable because few companies hire kernel hackers. He said nothing about women being drawn to it because of their gender.

He made a point of specifically “fixing” his pronoun usage and then uses a gender-neutral pronoun when a non-neutral one could be used. What’s the point? Is it to prevent future thoughtcrime in case the person in question decides to use ano

I’m not a Clojure programmer but from the example given, “transducers” would be equivalent to lazy evaluation / stream fusion. Simple HOFs wouldn’t prevent the elements to be traversed in each subsequent function call.

I do believe the staff cared for the collections. But the museum director kept a minibar hackishly installed in John VI's former bedroom, which was used as the director's office. https://cdn.oantagonista.net/upload

I didn't make the point that puritanism is men's natural state. I simply made the point that "doing nothing" isn't.

The problem was not the hydrants. There were warnings about possible fires dating from 2004, with exposed wires and terrible conditions in general. This is the fault of government bureaucracy and irresponsibility (eg. during the World Cup y
