Yes, it will be wonderful to have equality of the sexes again. If women don't want to pay child support they should just not have unprotected sex, like men. Or we do the sane thing and stop treating clumps of cells like people.

The dystopia of gender equality, where a women don't have to spend 9 months being a life support system in their 20s/30s.

Right, so you just need to add high pressure air instead of a liquid to solar installations. How is this an improvement again?

Links please. Specifically for how it's solved for grid scale solar in deserts.

The only people who think that solar in a desert is a good idea are the people who have never had to clean a solar panel in a desert: https://www.thenationalnews.com/uae/science/dust-can-dramati...

Yes, a great thing to do for a dsl that you write in your real language. Not something that a real language should have.

Yes and? I have the full power of the language to force type correctness instead of some janky meta language.

Yes, but failing upwards is what social justice eco-warriors do best. Just look at every city they have managed for more than a decade.

This is disingenuous and sidesteps the argument about capability of children. It's really simple: You are either OK with kids having control of their bodies up to and including invasive surgery and having sex with who they want or you

Not for long. It's hilarious that liberals from SF and NYC will manage to make fascism cool.

Lisp is interesting because it always has a first mover advantage in any field, i.e. I can code up something that does 80% of what I want in 10% of the time of any other language. Cobol's only use is that it's entrenched. Which is

I hope one day we are as lackadaisical about deaths from home nuclear as home solar.

Yes, a tiny minority. The majority are so bad that they have reduced their consumers ability to read to the point where they can't understand the difference between few and none.

Yes, but then again the majority of news is somewhere between lies and not even wrong. The point of news is eyeballs, not truth.

Yes but how else will you kick down the ladder once you made it? FAAGs are where we put people who are really good at colouring within the box these days. It's pretty stunning how in 15 years it went from being a place where the best a
