Not all the work we do is as part of large teams or on multimillion loc codebases. In your context what you say is definitely the correct take, but I stand by my take that there are relatively simple programs written by individuals/sma

Except the author's example is single threaded, so for that specific case your implementation of counter is needlessly complex and would actually be confusing. The point is that there is no solution that works for all use cases. If you

> No, not in the face of any sort of concurrency it doesn't... I fail to see how does that relate to the article in question. The author provided an example for which counter() works well, he didn't claim that the same "pa

Looks great but it runs awfully and it's pretty wonky. Yes, the lightning is great, there are tons of rendered objects etc but the controls and camera suck?

It's an oligarchy, always has been. I don't know how colossal the pile of evidence supporting this has to get before people finally accept it.

Nice, you even have a token irrelevant politician without any power, perfect to use as example that all is allowed in the free US of A. I'll reply with a few actual examples of what I mean: - https://www.insidehighered.com&#

Isn't it the same in China then? They can also use VPNs

If western governments are so tolerant and permissive with information, I wonder why can't I access RT in Europe?

But Taiwan is China. Even the USA acknowledge that.

Well for one corruption is punished heavily in China, even with death penalty. Just recently an official has been executed for a $412 million corruption case. So of course there's going to be corruption and greed like anywhere else, th

It depends. In Russia? Worse in terms of popular participation in the decisional process, but it still works because the majority of people believe (rightly or not) that their interests are protected by Putin. So for all they care, as long

I think then we can agree that if the people hold very little power, what we have today in the west is definitely not democracy. A study[0] came to the conclusion that the US is in fact closer to an oligarchy, and I'd extend that to mo

I'm saying the government should focus on regaining the trust of its citizens, rather than censoring dangerous opinions. That trust wasn't lost because of foreign propaganda, but because of the government own lies.

Sounds like a great opportunity for the US government to inform the people on what's the actual truth. You say Americans don't believe their government anymore? I wonder why...
