The mainstream is languages that will happily accept null as anything, and crash at runtime. Sure, union types are cool, but they aren't expressible in most languages, while the optional construct is. Haskell's type system definit

That's a problem no haskell user has, honestly. Your issue seems to be about getting your feet wet. Could you imagine people saying the issue with Java is its extremism towards objects and method calls? Sure, a determined Fortran progr

Most of your comments boil down to two items: - The Haskell ecosystem doesn't have the budget of languages like Java or C# to build its tooling. - The haskell ecosystem was innovative 20 years ago, but some newer languages like Rust or

Apple and Ireland maintain that is no record of "a deal", yet Apple paid 1% of what the law says they owed. The only beneficiary of that favourable situation is Apple. Let's be honest, if this happened in any "less reput

Because accepting a corruption bargain is as illegal as offering it.

One could argue that we've had internet way before we've had Starlink. It's not entirely compelling, considering many people in more remote areas don't have great access, but it would also be a bit disingenuous to equate

by pyrale 2y ago
This is a path that ends with Starlink being unable to respect the law in other jurisdictions, and getting progressively banned elsewhere, or Musk getting jailed on foreign trips like the Telegram CEO. There is a reason why legit companies

That is something that should be solved in front of Brazilian courts, not by foreign interference from a vigilante billionaire. The US banned Tiktok for way less than this.

The link you're using is from 2022, which is an outlier in terms of energy production. The issue is that Germany exports "waste" electricity. It almost always exports cheap power, and imports at high rates. In negative price

Firefox was never #1. It had a very slow adoption curve driven by organic growth, and just when it started being a significant competitor, at about 25-30% of market share, Chrome got released and advertised to death (and also bundled in so

Bundling IE may have gotten more people to give it a try, but it didn't force those people to continue using IE. It didn't force them to keep using IE for years and years, in many cases. Most people, including a great many former

Considering Firefox's current situation is the result of years of abusive monopoly practice from Google, Chrome should be severed from Google.

The point made isn't that the architect should have build a duck, it's that the decor they picked for the shed was inadvisable.

That is what early days path if exile chose to do, and players hated the rubberbanding. Nowadays everyone uses lockstep instead, because backtrack events feel worse than being blocked right when the issue happens.

I would be curious to see how one could seriously argue this. People making this kind of claims tend to grasp at straws to make connections and make implications much more deterministic than they actually are.
