I think the opposite could be said. That the C++ implementation hides the simplicity of the blockchain in a language that lacks powerful abstractions and prevents code reuse. If cofree seems like it isn't programming, that is only beca

I understand the argument that they're making, but the EFF also offers a browser extension to block adware (privacy badger). Is hate speech somehow more justifiable than adware?

Except, to establish that it is somehow a biological difference, he would have to rule out cultural bias. Otherwise he's falling back on pseudoscience to justify his position. And, the facts have repeatedly shown that cultural bias is

If 0.07% of their company is really worth $8.7m, then the company itself is worth $12 billion. That seems pretty impressive for a company that, from what I can tell, does nothing and has no product.

I think that people always want to look for the worst in every situation. America's healthcare system may not be up to first world standards for treatment. And it bankrupts hundreds of thousands of people a year. But, it's the mos

I think it's fair to argue that these features shouldn't be added to go. Not because they're bad features, but because they'd basically require a rewrite of the stdlib and, as a result, all go code. So, generics and exce
