If only issues fit so neatly into a well defined, black or white moral framework that everyone agrees with, life would be so much easier.

Incredibly cynical. What if we helped minorities, women, and others on the outside meet the qualifications instead of lowering the standards? And yes that also includes rewriting some of the qualifications to be more realistic, I am not dis

> how to work toward goals that are neither clearly defined nor externally imposed. This is the crux of the entire article, in my opinion. Still haven't figured this out after all these years. How?

Your reply is the real cringe here. "I got shit to do" is no excuse to toss aside quality and craftsmanship. And you misread their argument they didn't say write everything from scratch, they said write a simple leaner versio

This is an incredibly dishonest reply. No one thinks those are extreme anymore. Most of those made it to the mainstream democratic platform in the last primaries. If you can't figure out where the leftist extremism is, you aren't

With HM type systems, the type system becomes an asset, rather than something you have to fight against or satisfy in peculiar ways. It's a breath of fresh air doing FP in a statically typed language that's not based on type erasu

I think we need to settle on a description of "older" here. I do not consider a house from 1950 to be from the old generation of builders, but starting to be what was the budding mass building trends. The 1950s featured dirt cheap

Older homes are usually well thought out in terms of natural cooling and heating. Being that many of these homes were built in an era where HVAC systems didn't exist, they can stay remarkably cool in the summer, and warm in the winter

> Ikea is a streamlined and well thought out experience. It's so fascinating how diverse people's viewpoints are! My first experience of IKEA was that it was a confusing, frustrating, poorly laid out and inefficient labyrinth

By those metrics, IKEA fits the bill as well. But at what point do we qualify productivity with some measure of quality? You'd be hard pressed to argue IKEA produces quality . For all the laurels and new features and gadgets and gizmo

The bulk of pushback against bad ideas, especially sinister ones that come with societal blowback, occurs in the form of ignoring them. It's whats happening right now with CRT. You can't speak out against it, without risking reput

To get the full power of EntityFramework, with all the cool code and graph generation, I think you need a paid version of Visual Studio and SSMS, although I could be wrong. Either way costing anything at all already puts it at a disadvantag
