If you look into prior years, you'll notice that many of these brown languages were once green. When Rails boomed, Ruby shot up in popularity, when Node came to the fire, so did JavaScript. Same with Scala (which happens to be on both

Can we please just invest more heavily in nuclear? My preference is thorium reactors given they are far, far less dangerous in all regards. Given ARKs time horizon, it would be a prescient investment. There's no way in hell were going

Because I don't want to have to download some yahoos library just to have a timeout that behaves like a promise. I prefer my batteries included. Also importing from "timers/promises" isn't a global namespace.

This might be more palatable: Say you are a developing country. The US comes to you and says we're going to restrict trade until you get your carbon footprint in line. This is, of course, being done for your own good (you're an ag

It's dangerous for countries that are run by demagogues to have nukes. Pakistan is a muslim country, but they've had nukes since 1998 without much fanfare. On the flip side, North Korea has nukes, and that's far more unsett
