This pretty much sounds like the result of AI coding. No - I am not being facetious. This is exactly how AI generates websites like an unergonomic stamp quite contrary to a way an experienced CSS/UX designer would do. Somehow the web-s

And this is terrific news for the future. A nation of our size just cannot afford to have more than ~400 million people without severe issues causing extremely poor quality of life. We are already bursting at the seams at 1.5 billion and wi

Gradual population decline empowers lower-income workers. As seen after the Black Death, a scarcity of labor drives real wages up and lower the cost of basic goods and rent. Basically, the billionaires dislike it and hence are changing th

They want a locked down and controlled ecosystem like Apple's - which can make $$$. Same reason why you can use ANY browser "skin" on iOS as long as as it is ONLY the standard platform distributed webkit. Sadly MS gave up Win

And today tailwindcss misuses the class attribute to add a gazillion classes that make your eyes bleed. By the time you reach the end of the list, you have grown a beard.

Even if you are fine with Python's speed, its memory consumption DOES effect things and can be an extraordinary pain when you need to fit the result of your tinkering in any sort of constrained environment.

Why are all vibe-coded web-site cards so stupidly identical ? I have seen dozens of these and whenever they use cards, there is an icon taking valuable space by itself followed by a header. That is ridiculous design and any designer/CS

His stuff about generics in Go is also wrong. He says that Go's standard library "avoids" them. He forgot that it has `slices.SortFunc()`. He forgot about Go `Seq`. Maybe because he has stopped using Go and is no longer that

Zig makes allocation an explicit runtime concern: var list = std.ArrayList(i32).init(allocator); where allocator is a runtime value implementing the allocator interface. fn parseJson(allocator: Allocator, input: []const u8) !

We are not taking about legacy heavy weight OS/platform threads. But "green" threads managed by the language runtime like Go. Java went the Go/Erlang way. https://javapro.io/2026/03/05/java

Pluggable allocators. Allocators are passed to functions as arguments, the caller decides exactly how memory is managed. Maybe not "new" in idea, but "new" in being consistently applied everywhere in language & lib

Can you apply your philosophy to the U.S. dollar ? I am sure producing copies is a "theft" that is entirely in your head. You were deprived of nothing by someone else making a copy of your dollar.
