I think you're exploring an important space here. Good luck! Also, the video essay you made about this ( https://youtu.be/zgA4GzRsldI for anyone interested) is incredibly well-produced. I was expecting it to be someone

Something that jumps out to me in the demographics is how few respondents are from Japan (0.6% vs e.g. 5.1% from Germany). Does anyone have a good explanation?

It might be that the skills involved in being independent (e.g. good habits around money / food / exercise / socialising / working) don't just come naturally but need to be inculcated from an early age at the cost o

Do you mean sum types? Like Haskell's Maybe and Rust's Result?

Awesome! Will do, next time I'm working on something customer-facing.

Huh, I actually thought they were dead. Glad to hear they're still going.

Thinking about language usage as "wrong" or "right" might not be the most helpful way to think about it: https://stancarey.wordpress.com/2010/02/16/descriptivism-vs-... (p.s. not saying th

Do they have the capacity to hit targets in the continental US without winning naval supremacy?

Gotcha, thanks. Calling that “forcing them to bow” is strange to me, but I think your reading is right :)

Agreed! But (in the example of the Georgia boycott) who exactly is going to use the tactic you mentioned of forcing a company to bow to China? In concrete terms, how do you see that playing out?

I think GP was responding to the way you said “codified into the constitution” as if that were the main differentiating factor (whereas it’s clearly not, because China also codified freedom of speech).

I think it also hinges on whether or not previous players have made “offensive” statements before. If it’s only happened once and they’ve punished it once, I think that’s as consistent as possible. Although of course there’s a lot wriggle r

I think the part that confused me was the idea of one side in the culture war forcing companies to bow to China, as a tactical manoeuvre. I just can’t see the “unwoke” segments siding with China.

Oh, okay. It seems to me like being critical of the Chinese government is popular with both sides of the American political spectrum. Maybe even more so with conservatives!

It’s reasonable from the perspective of maximising profit, sure. And it’s true that they’re (as far as I know) consistently applying a rule they set out a long time ago. But that doesn’t make it the right decision, morally. Sometimes rules

How is bowing to China woke? Not following.

FWIW I hadn't heard of the NBA thing until this. Maybe because I'm Australian and the NBA isn't as huge a deal here.

Still, there's probably a way of phrasing it that doesn't make it sound (to those not in the know) like Lua is slow.

How would you describe the joining of two tables more declaratively than how SQL does it?

That's very cool. It reminds me of a game someone built with DataScript (an in-memory relational data store based on Datomic): http://www.zetawar.com/blog/2016/05/17/technology-choices/

I think he means if you read the ones that are vaunted but bad you won't advance yourself, not that you can't advance yourself by reading classics.

I think he means that the UK govt has mandated a particular CSV standard for tabular data, at the same time. I think you're right that OpenAPI has nothing to do with CSV.

Came here to say exactly this. And also to point to this excellent article: https://pchiusano.github.io/2017-01-20/why-not-haskell.html

The word “should” can also be “used to indicate what is probable” (according to the OED). I think that's the way GP intended to use it. As in, "why is it probable that the syntax is more familiar?"
