protobuf has issues with optional fields, as was pointed out in the post. Couple that with a language with a weak type system like golang (no sum types), and it's very verbose and slow to develop in. Targeting better languages helps al

Just because you have had a bad experience with a landlord does not make all landlords bad. Just like you probably had a bad experience at a restaurant, does that mean all restaurants are bad?

CRT paints whites as inherently evil, and coins such ridiculous terms as "white adjacent". Everything is painted in terms of "white supremacy", and it's honestly getting tiring and trite, even for non whites. Everyo

This doesn't contradict what I wrote. Islam explicitly rejects racism, and makes it sinful. Because we're equal in front of God, this means that anyone treating someone else differently because of their skin color, race, etc. is g

by azth 4y ago
It's the natural outcome of far leftist ideologies. People need to wake up and start rejecting this destructive ideology where a person is evaluated only based on their identity. I think MLK had something to say about that.

Maybe, maybe not, we don't know the entire story. We don't agree with torture obviously, but at the same time, if that story is true, it may fall under publicizing homosexuality which I mentioned in my post, and the law is the law
