It is strategically beneficial, for trade agreements, diplomatic leverage and in international conflicts, for a nation to have a strong industrial base, in other words an economy that creates and exports actual physical goods. Tariffs level

Was going to comment the same thing. I try to avoid politics with co-workers and family because they are people that you are obligated, on some level, to interact with and have decent social cohesion. Friendships are entirely voluntary, so

You make some really good criticisms of OOP language design. I take issue with the part about garbage collecting, as I don't think your points apply well to tracing garbage collectors. In practice, the only way to have "memory lea

Implementing a settable derived primitive like that is already possible in SolidJS userspace. You can roll your own or simply use https://primitives.solidjs.community/package/memo#createwrit... .

You certainly don't have to be a Christian apologist to acknowledge the unique contributions Christianity has made to the development of the west.

It is an obvious fallacy to conflate the usage of tear gas canisters with the usage of mustard gas in WWI. They differ drastically in amount/concentration, area of effect, and long term health risks, thus should be treated differently

There are so many solid web bundlers that all offer a similar feature set, I am pretty skeptical that another entry is all that beneficial. It's good to have choices, but it's become difficult to keep up with such a fragmented eco

Everyone has their own tastes, but I personally don't understand the appeal of SNL. Even skits that are so called "classics" don't strike me as all that funny. Maybe it's a generational thing.

Rationalism, which you seem to be an ardent supporter of, is a strain of philosophy. We all have some epistemological system we live by, so discrediting philosophy on its whole is not an option.

So by your standard, the works of Nietzsche are worthless because he was a strident anti-rationalist, and his works of literature contain many (mostly purposeful) contradictions?

The problem is that sacred texts like the Bible (other examples might be the Pali Cannon in Buddhism or Vedas and Upanishads in Hinduism) do not contain "flat contradictions". If people hundreds of years apart write down conflicti

The Bible is a small library of different books written by different people at different times. I don't think it's all that surprising that there are contradictions. In fact, I would say that pretty much every faith tradition with

Your complaint doesn't make sense to me because `use` is essentially the same thing as `await` in JS. It hoists the rest of the function body into a callback so that the logic can be flat. In fact, `use` is an improvement on `await` be

We are at an impasse then because I have no desire to write you an analysis of money interests in American politics. It certainly seems to me that you, along with the author, are just trying to rationalize a biased viewpoint on the issue. I

Both sides are bad, that much is obvious. If that's all you gleaned from my comment, you completely missed the point being made. I'm also not going to argue with you about which party is more controlled or hurting the country more

To be clear, in this comment, I am referring to async in the broadest sense. I am specifically NOT referring to the Rust compiler keyword and runtimes (like tokio) that work with rust future state machines. If I understand OP correctly his

This seems like a great idea and I support the effort. It was not clear to me on first read though that what was being proposed is not an extension to current async rust (compiling code to a series of state machines), but a completely alter

What is your actual point? You are criticizing Meta for building complex systems by iterating on boring tech like PHP and MySQL, and instead suggesting that they build their systems on top of different boring tech like YAML and Ansible. Why

Not disagreeing with you, but just want to point out that billionaires and political lobbying groups have used funding (or the threat of funding) primary opponents to coerce congress for a long time.

I'm not a fan of checked exceptions because they force you to use a verbose control structure (try-catch) that distracts from the actual logic being expressed. Typically, checked exceptions are also not exceptional, so I prefer working

I'm not assuming. Your position on this issue simply lacks empathy. If you've known anyone addicted to the list of things you mention, you should know that at some point, they are no longer "free to destroy themselves".

I don't think it's that hard to understand the appeal of JSX. If you want your interface to be modeled functionally (state as input, view as output), it makes way more sense for your view to be the result of a function in contrast
