One reason to read old philosophy is that it is way more approachable. Most of the time, the approachability is an inverse function of the date the philosophical material appeared (understandable given our knowledge and thoughts have grown

While asynchronous programming seems to be simpler than some other concurrency models, it still is way complicated when compared to normal sequential programming; and thus should be opt-in, not inevitable by default. Some time ago I wanted

I dislike JS and the current culture around it because of technical insophistication, but I should concede that JS people are better at this: they make the replica and do not bother you, whereas the Rust community is evangelical, they open

No those are completely dishonest, especially when it becomes active bluffing/manipulation. It's nit less dishonest when a lie is useful to you. You might maybe morally justify it, but it's deliberately saying things that

AFAIK for many languages a module is a unit of source code, e.g. a .py file for Python, and many modules constitute a package. And many times C/C++ are criticised for not having "modules" and for people having to #include he

Default *BSD installs do not have bash, it needs to be installed (IDK what DragonFly and TrueOS do, but FreeBSD, NetBSD and OpenBSD don't ship with it). They all have it in the ports trees though. Many distros use BusyBox (IIRC Alpin

In the past I've suggested that these string prefixes be made user-definable. I was just starting out learning programming for serious back then (which I never really did BTW), as a uni dropout, so that was a bit stupidly audacious of

Read philosophy. Not because it shows you a particular truth, but it teaches you to think objectively and with structure. I have been a very depressive adolescent, stepped out of it reading philosophy, learning how to think, and eventuall
