You have naive and warped view of what constitutes capitalism. Dumping, protectionism, state subsidies, what have you, have had a long and varied role to play in the history of capitalism.

Or the premise is a false one, that a configuration language is not the right approach. And everytime yet another such language falls flat only serves to reinforce this very point.

You've failed to explain your original premise, i.e. it is energy that determines the price of gold. You've made some tautological points that get us no where.

> Well sorta. In real terms, the price of gold is anchored to the amount of energy required to mine a kilo of gold with a sustainable margin. That quantity doesn't change very much (in real terms) over time. Could you explain more a

No, it would not; the parent comment is correct. Leave nature to determine what will grow best on the land, including the types of trees that take root. Only then will you end up with the optimal biodiversity and ecosystem.

Your argument doesn't make sense: the country historically took time off....workers can no longer afford to go away. What changed?

Fair enough. I should have said "general purpose language" rather than "real", which makes for flame-bait.

I don't get the problem with using a turing complete language to generate configuration. There's nothing wrong with maintaining and refactoring a program, that's a natural process for any program. If you don't want an in

The idea is that you don't test the things that ansible has already declared it will do (install pkg, start service), but test the side effects, i.e. is the started service listening on the expected port, is the process of the service

Yup I've just installed vimium on chrome, and it seems to do the job. I've tried out vim-mode bash in the past, but much prefer the default emacs-mode on the command line, despite being a vim user. Either way I'm suspecting a

What about using a browser, terminal usage outside of vim, and insert-mode in vim? Do you use vimium in chrome and vim-mode in bash?

Since, as you say, we don't have a concrete theory on what causes mutations to occur, how can you then go onto say the reason they occur is nothing more than chance?

I agree: it's better for the supermarket, it's not better for me. Like the luddites, I really couldn't give a toss it costs much less resources for them while achieving the same crude goal.
