These frameworks have so many versions over time because the web, browsers, and people’s expectations of the capabilities of websites are a moving target. Over time you’ll see many major revisions as you do in every other framework in exist

Well… iirc LegalEagle started a lawsuit against them. What more would you want? Average viewers are largely unaffected, so it’s not a topic that makes for great content.

What makes you say that besides blind faith in the exponential advancement of language models? I’ve need no evidence that AI writes particularly performant code (especially wrt to specific hardware.) Nor have I seen any big player showing o

The best argument I’ve seen in favor of your position is “If they were working with foreign powers to weaken the US, what would they be doing differently”

Sure some devs may split hairs over the precise semantics, but for the market at large, the difference is understood. Talk to any average roguelike/lite enjoyer and they’ll identify that as the difference. “Roguelikes” do tend to have

I don’t think there’s any confusion over the definition of roguelike vs roguelite. The key difference is that roguelikes lack the meta progression that roguelites have. Rogue and friends didn’t have meta progression. So hades is a roguelite

Not at all. Common Lisp has the loop macro which is fairly imperative. It also has a really great OOP implementation in CLOS Lisp need not be purely functional.

While you’re not wrong, you have to keep in mind that there are actors who try very deliberately to hide the fact that they are removing freedoms. Most people aren’t on the lookout for every reduction in freedom and, at least in the US, we

I’ve paid many $1000s of dollars in my time to the Linux gods. Audio driver issues. Graphics driver issues. WiFi driver issues. but I still like Linux more than windows.

Right, but those technologies are like 20 years old now. Imagine if Facebook didn’t come along and we had 20 years of development and improvements over those base protocols instead of today’s social platforms.

My understanding of the main libertarianism is that it calls for extremely small government with minimal impact on the lives of individuals. This seems pretty in line with anarchy. I know that in the US “libertarians” tend to be fairly righ
