I'm not talking about computer systems. It is trivial to write code to handle an arbitrary UTF-8 string. I mean for his own sake, it's probably best to have a real name.

I wrote "chemicals" from China. Not "ingredients" from China. Nothing against China. It's a placeholder for <insert random source of chemicals>

Yep. If preparing the food requires a bachelors degree in food science, chemicals imported from China, and a home laboratory, then it's probably classified as "processed food".

I was not being sarcastic whatsoever. I know two people who have changed their name because they didn't like the name they were born with. My suggestion is 100% dead serious.

Of course they have been benchmarked. Both compile to native code, so performance can be roughly the same if the algorithms are the same. However, figuring out how to design a Haskell program that reaches maximum performance is very difficu

That's the problem with interpreting the Bible literally. God represents something of psychological reality.

Slower compilation doesn't mean slower execution. Scala has "Native" and JVM implementations with different performance characteristics. Scala is a hybrid that allows imperative code with a lower level of abstraction than Has

It's definitely asking for trouble. Murphy's Law.

Listen man, you’re obviously a very smart guy (I’m assuming your gender), but it seems that you haven’t been exposed much to the “Austrian School” of economics. Keynesian theory is the orthodox economic religion, which you have fully subscr

The money supply is centrally planned. The interest rates are centrally planned. Therefore I call it a socialist monetary system.

You are fundamentally off the mark at every single point. The basket of goods specifically excludes things such as housing which is the by far the number one cost of living here, which leaves that "inflation" figure as an utterly

As for the Soviet Union - I was talking about their centralized / planned economy. Socialism. We have a socialist monetary system in the West. Yes New Zealand is the least corrupt government in the world, apparently, and despite that,

New Zealands actual inflation is way, way higher than 1.5%. You are very naive and gullible if you believe that number. You also have no idea how the cost of housing is determined. Central banks have artificially manipulated interest rates

A savings account pays below the real inflation rate here in New Zealand. The cost of housing has increased hundreds of percent over the last 20 years thanks to central bank monetary policy that artificially manipulate interest rates. A sho

Accumulation of savings is valuable as it can be used for capital investment at the best opportunity. Forcing people to spend prematurely on crappy mal-investment is not optimal. Spending for the sake of spending is not optimal investment.

Simply being born is no justification for stealing by fiat. People should be rewarded for saving capital. Forcing people to gamble their money only to maintain the wealth they already earned is not ethical. It is sufficient for people to be

It's as gibberish today as it's always been.
