This is a very fair point that I agree with and in retrospect I wish I had emphasised the limits of what I was trying to get across. But your and other replies have done it for me so I'll leave it as it is.

C++ is my daily language. Has been for my entire career since the mid 90s. About 10 years ago I gave up trying to understand it all and things have been fine. Good even. Even more so since I pushed warnings to max (where possible), tooling

The discussion from the top used the term "people" in a very general way, at least to me, so I think my reply was relevant and I was asking you for more on your point of view. I now have a better understanding of what you mean bec

They are referring to many worlds interpretations of quantum mechanics that argues that the quantum wave function is as real as anything. As real as say electromagnetic fields. If this is true then the mathematics say that the universe bran

I got those a few times here in Austria. In fairness for me it was amusing since it’s obvious the FBI don’t have jurisdiction here and seems unlikely they’d use an obvious and poor text to speech generator. A more clever one I got just the

Couldn’t agree more. Travel travel travel. By land and sea. Did it twice, for 6 months and then 10 months. To see a big chunk of this world we live on (only for a brief period) is something few humans in all of history get to do. And then f

> European culture largely precludes big leaps in innovation This is such a bizarrely popular statement on here. It's a huge claim and usually presented without evidence or nuance. Just start deconstructing it by asking simple thing

There is a massive difference between a ghetto that a group is forced to be in, excluded from the outside world, and a community built where one feels accepted and safe which one can enter and leave at will (free association). As long as ou

Thanks for sharing this perspective. Hearing such things directly from the people concerned helps turn my existing somewhat fuzzy thoughts on the subject into more solid real life experiences which I can reference when needed.
