Aphasia is not a degenerative brain disease, it's the inability to properly comprehend or produce speech due to brain damage (there are different types of aphasia, with different symptoms, linked to damage in different brain regions).

The idea that something of the monstrous complexity of k8s is easy is pretty funny to me. I think if you have less than than 2 full time experts on k8s at hand, you're basically nuts if you use it for some non-toy project. In my experi

It is, but then I never understood why on earth you'd use k8s if you don't have stateful services. I mean really, what's the point?

My 2 cents: I think the fact that you're having trouble with the compose signature is something you should rectify and that would transfer well to other languages. I'm however not sure the same holds true for more advanced feature

It does! Via readline. There must be a problem with your build. Also, you can get this functionality for even your broken build (or other interactive commandline apps that have no edit history) by just doing something like: alias qalc

But math operations are not generic functions. So you'd need to create your own version of all math functions. And that won't compose with independently developed libraries (unlike the Haskell example elsewhere in the thread).

Interesting -- to my naive mind headaches and dizziness sound more like a brain problem (concussion) than a neck problem (whiplash). So, if you don't mind sharing, I'm curious what the actual underlying problem was and how the ph

These numbers make no sense to me. If you typically have 1900% gross profit margins on USB cables, why isn't everyone making USB cables?

I other words, you are willing to commit insurance fraud (or shoulder the risks of being uninsured) and violate visa laws and hope nobody finds out. But at least no one will accuse you of being of an "anti-globalist perspective".
