(1) There are usually fairly strong legal restrictions against hiring scabs. Especially for public sector unions. (2) True, but the public cannot use the infrastructure that they paid dearly to build and have some claim of ownership to.

Fair enough that it doesn't add to the debate. But, you cannot say the public is holding them hostage. Any one of them can quit their job and look for another at will. The "public" can hardly look for replacement labor.

In general, I'd agree. However, considering the collective action the union has taken disrupting a vital service, I think they forfeit a bit of privacy in this case. They are public servants who are holding the public hostage.

As a dynamically typed language, how does Python specifically yield fewer errors than VBA? Or even compared to C# or F#?

Actually, the OP was talking about Safe Haskell, which is not the same as unsafePerformIO. While the two are related, they are different. While Safe Haskell does not really map to the Rust unsafe functions, unsafePerformIO does.

can someone explain why this (of all the flamebaity/controversial comments I make) is getting downvoted?

by maxcan 13y ago
The better Haskell analog are the unsafePerformIO and related functions which match up pretty closely with unsafe in rust.

As a haskeller who's now stuck doing mostly nodejs, I've been eagerly watching Rust's development. One thing keeping me from using it is its immaturity and ecosystem. Is there any chance of a rustfix tool, akin to Go's gofix tool, being de

I find weapons ads far more offensive than porn ads. Our natural form vs a device whose sole intent is to obliterate said natural form. How come your measure of offense is more important than mine? Also, if you want to play community stand
