That because of criminalizing it. The users of coke in NL have little problems with it (not worse than alcohol research has shown).

Let bring back gold payments! There are already some institutions that offer gold certificates: notes that represent gold stored in some bolt and collectable on demand. It was a good idea all along and the reason that "gold back curren

Same for me. I had really weird stuff to debug. Could not save from FF to /tmp for instance (and I really like that for downloads I should use immediately and can be removed). I found Keepass to be a snap/flatpak once: so many ext

Ruby newly added type system can also help here. For starters, it'd be nice to know what type(s) the keys and values can be.

Same for cigars. This comes very close to "taste policing". If you can some ciggies on the street, then you can smoke all things (legal/decriminalized) on the street. Or it becomes whimsy.

I thought Linus and other believed GPLv2 was fine and the improvements of GPLv3 did not outweigh the potential problems introduced by it. It never came to a point where all authors were asked to agree, or sign away their ownership.

Seems you are not arguing in good faith. What you say is true, but totally irrelevant: language creators are not trying to make useless languages.

Would Linux 0.01 boot work in a virtual environment? (VirtualBox or QEmu) If not it might be interesting to fork it into a linux-zero-dot-zero-one project that merely tries to make minimal adjustments so it runs virtualized on modern hardwa

The mass rollout of mRNA treatment was not mentioned in this article. I wonder if they tried to control for "sleep deprivation, increase in alcohol consumption" to find out if that's correlating. I'd be even more interes

Not true. There are some real cryptographic realities that are based in "open" math principles. There's also the way of most using runtimes/libraries that (constantly) have CVEs in them; and understanding why it is that

If you languages has "eval()" or something similar, it is a lot easier to attack. Same for when it allow you "upload a file in some place where it gets executed". These things are not so easy, say, with a C++/Rust&#

PHP is know for being very leaky about being PHP (and since PHP + ecosystem have a bad history of CVEs, being leaky about being PHP is not cool). Java/Kotlin/Go/Rust/Ruby/Python/JS/TS are a lot less leaky

Agreed, if banning one type of smoking, it'd be more straight to just ban them all. Or it becomes "taste policing": I/we/they don't like the smell of weed.

I loved HAML (and RoR) when I was a dyn-lang believer. I've since learned some Haskell and now believe in strong typing. This also drove me away from HAML. Kotlinx.html is pretty close being a type safe HAML.
