Quite surprising indeed that it happens more frequently in a region with a lot of ships, a lot of cables, and a shallow sea... :-/

A quick internet search suggests that these are indeed frequent: « Between 2007 and 2010, 53 telecoms faults were recorded around the UK, 19 of which were caused by anchors » « Various modes of fishing involving placement of heavy gear on t

I don't know if it is still the case, but in the past Android would let you create several user accounts on a single phone.

Not so forbidden a topic that you can't site some sources, I hope.

Fair enough. I'm glad we have both made the effort to explain why we feel the way we feel.

Well, I agree to all of that, I just don't read the same thing as you do in those critiques. To me, they do not sound like belittling authors who post here (frankly, of all languages that are used just because they are trendy, I much p

There are legions of languages that can be transpiled into JS. Use any of them both for back and front-end and suddenly, not only can you use the same types but also the same functions.

I'm going to be naive and open about how your answer make me feel because I believe it may help understand why and where we don't speak the same language, at the risk of giving the impression that I'm looking down at it. Be a

Ok, thank you for the additional explanations, it does make more sense now. I do not think we are unique but I believe we "human like intelligences" are a very unlikely product of as many tiny random adaptations as to make the num

I've met a few people with the same amazing optimism that you describe here and it always surprised me (thank you for that by the way, I understand it requires more nerve to display optimism than pessimism as the former is often associ

Indeed. I believe the bitterness is understandable but counter productive. I share the sentiment that it has a "delusion of grandeur" vibe that I also find annoying.

I believe you are right about the larger factors shaping the individual experience. And since you mention that you are young, just to let you know: when "celebrating" the latest new years eve, all guests present (40 to 50yo) agree

Not the person you replied to, but I totally agreed with him and, interestingly, cannot make sense at all of your reply. Those points especially seem to be the crux of your argument but I don't see the logic supporting them: > th

The fact that a tool can break or that the company manufacturing that tool lies about its abilities, are annoying but do not imply that the tool is useless. I experience LLM "reasoning" failure several times a day, yet I find them

Well, I believe make is already the most succesful build tool, at least on every platform I'm caring about (ie any variant of unices + few more). What you are describing looks like packaging more than building. Pinning the versions of
