Sorry, I don't know anything about the US, but according to this one 2020 pie chart [1], 15% of the federal budget was spent on pensions/social security, and 12% was spent on welfare (the "Other" is "Agriculture, En

Yep. I pirated the book, and in 643 pages, there are 1131 case-insensitive matches for the string "jew".

I don't know why (maybe someone can explain?) but frontend developers seem very happy to frequently move between languages and frameworks. I don't think that's true for the places where C++ is popular.

1. That's a horrible description of unsoundness; you're making it sound like incompleteness! 2. What I meant to ask was: what does satvikpendem mean by "JS is unsound"? It's a dynamically typed language, so they c

Has anyone formally defined (something close to) the idea of the "visual center", as described in the article? I'm guessing that the centroid of the shape isn't the answer.

How do you get it to return anything useful for advanced math? It always gives me complete gibberish.

Because you have to. For example, no matter how badly Microsoft wrongs them, people in many industries need to use Windows, or Office, or LinkedIn.

Imo, one "fundamental" reason is that Haskell has a much smaller, nicer core than most languages, so it builds everything out of that core. For example, most languages have variable update statements in their core. Haskell defines
