Fork it. End of the day some guys decided they wanted to make money and the corporations profiting off their labor weren't paying up. These things don't happen in a vacuum. Does your company have a multi-thousand dollar a year

It's one of the most widely used languages out there actually. But it's primarily used at buttoned up and boring SMB's/enterprise backoffices. We're not out here touting our new framework of the month to kafloogle

This is why people say that "fascism is the failure mode of capitalism." When the rich and powerful get too fat off their structural advantages and society starts coming apart at the seams, capital will align with anti-democratic

I didn't move to Florida for a reason. They voted for this repeatedly and are still doing so. No sympathy from me, sorry.

Ding ding ding! From here on out it's all fake. I expect some private firms that are able to collect somewhat accurate economic data to make a killing, given the government is about to go full China and just lie about the numbers.

It won't. It will simply allow the government to further track people and attribute "anonymous" online activity to individual citizens. It's absolutely an Orwellian program and has nothing to do with the well-being of

Debugger tooling is helpful here. Rider's debugger easily shows every intermediate result set in long chained LINQ method call chains.

Yup. If they won't show you a cap table or if you have different shares from the founders, you value it at zero until proven otherwise (liquidity event).

Yeah but like 23 dudes can have more money than god, so this is a moral imperative.

Well, hundreds of elected representatives and a handful of judges have had to entirely abdicate their responsibility and power for us to arrive at this point. It's not just one guy.

How is it wrong to send my personal shopper? How is it wrong to have an agent act directly on my behalf? It's like saying a web browser that is customized in any way is wrong. If one configures their browser to eagerly load links so

But I can send my personal shopper and you'll be none the wiser.

Frankly, I can't be arsed to watch people stumble around for 4 hours. It's an hour for my sanity and yours.

Have you used this in production? It seems appealing but seems so anti-thetical to the common sorts of engineering cultures I've seen where this sort of rigorous thinking does not exactly abound.

Leveraged buying/private equity play at the scale of the nation state.

Well, there are varying opinions on that. I agree with you somewhat, but many that "voted for that" have said otherwise and either 1) didn't ever hear about said document or 2) actively dismissed it as "fake news"

We are. Just look at the current administration. What they've accomplished in just 6 months is staggering. We've just let the wrong sort of people control our communication infrastructure, set the messages disseminated by that in

Are there any Datomic-like query layers on top of Postgres for approaches like this where you're recording immutable occurrences rather than updating mutable records?

Think of them as variables - a stand in for any given file format or modern operating system.

A very silly thing to say. The Hasids of New York are some of the most prominent anti-zionists in the United States.

Somehow 99.999% of the world's economy takes place upon it. Is all economic activity from the advent of banks to now not to be taken seriously?

A combination of a persistent strain of rugged individualist libertarian attitudes and ego. Everyone thinking we're better than everyone else and if only we could be in charge everything would be better than if those other idiots were

Well, my organization still isn't mature/large enough to administer linux machines for employee use and I prefer Win+WSL to Mac, so.

Oh yeah. Absolute hatchetman and scapegoat.

Very cool. Will probably still stick with LINQPad for my every day experimentation needs but if i decide to write actual scripts for ~production use, this would be a better alternative to Powershell in most cases I think.

You can host them though, if you really want. Look at https://freeinfantry.com/ These guys wrote a custom server from scratch and have hacked up the original game itself as well. It's hosted completely by the communi

That's what "conservatives" mean by "law and order". You obey them so they can put you in your place. They want to impose upon the rest of us, not be imposed upon.
