We more or less only pay for prescription medicine (out of hospital) and dentist. And both of those two are highly subsidized by the government. VAT does not go directly into anything particular but is just a general income for the governme

No idea, sorry. I don't know how big of a problem this is in practice in Denmark. I know that audits are performed on a national level. So I assume this would be less of an issue compared to countries where the health care system is ve

In Denmark, we have a central registry for health information where all information is shared between medical practitioners and hospitals on a need to know basis. We also have sundhed.dk (would translate to health.com) which all citizens ca

I hope that we one day will call funds (and organizations) that value pure profit above anything else radical. Instead of the other way around.

Right, but they haven't been classified as an illegal drug in most countries until recently.

Now that mainstream club drugs such as MDMA, Ketamine, and LSD/Magic Mushrooms are finding their way into therapeutic usage. I'm wondering if and how governments will change the current narrative about "all drugs are bad for

> I wonder if the advent of async/await in all the popular and upcoming programming languages... Not all of them. Go has Goroutines. And Java is settling on virtual threads (fibers) with Project Loom instead of async/await.

The overhead of, for example, invoking a method via reflection is measured in single-digit nanoseconds. Still not as fast as direct invocation, but unlikely to be a bottleneck unless you perform 10-of-millions of them per second.

Right, so you use the free fruits of people's hard work. And then you complain about them and their left-leaning ideology fueling technology monopolies.

I think the overhead of GC is negligible for many small programs. Claes Redestad @ Oracle gives a good overview here. https://cl4es.github.io/2019/11/20/OpenJDK-Startup-Update.ht... I would look into GraalVM

I think it might actually end up the other way around. For example, primitives are going to be able to have methods now. In the end, the numbers just aren't there for certain types of computations without them. And people have been com
