To me, they are insane. I don't know what to say. They don't bring much to the table I take seriously. I like some of the principles, but it's not a coherent platform. Ironically, the same complaints apply to both the liberta

What third parties? Would you rather have the libertarians or green party? Maybe a party or candidate with even less of a track record? Neither offer a sane way forward.

Just a side note, hedonism is not the same as excess or consumerism: it is the maximization of pleasure over a lifetime. The experiences being sold are not the experiences we enjoy the most.

Does iCloud even allow storing arbitrary files? I can't even figure out how to drag and drop a file from my mac to the icloud drive, let alone retrieve it from the iOS side. I don't think you can compare iCloud with general purpos

Quantum mechanics are only non-deterministic in a single timeline. Going back in time doesn't mean it's any easier to determine the future given the current state, so you can freely "replay" without leaking information.

If I had google behind me, I could also leverage ridiculous technology. Both are larger than I am (and twitter is), so this is not surprising.

Isn't that the whole point of hiring engineers? To keep your service running? It's not going to maintain itself.

Do you have an example of the well thought out or consistent design? It looks very generic to me; that is, not questioning the design mistakes of the 80s and 90s like using `ctrl` for terminal and UI shortcuts.

Delphi is not much safer than C; it's not surprising it compiles quickly. It's also not competitive speed-wise with either clang/gcc OR rust.

Weird! Completely different than my experience.

Most static typing systems have no parallel to 'deriving', which is to my understanding compile-time computation (aka a macro).

What's the point about asking untestable questions? You might as well become a theoretical physicist or a priest.

I can't say I'm a huge fan; I prefer the, erm, Iron & Wine style of soft crooning.

I mean I realize the link—assuming you're calling american blues "folk", that is—but it's just that, a link, not an identity. Clapton certainly sounds unique. I'm more interested in the fact that he thinks rock &amp
