You don't learn it properly. It's not supposed to be intuitive, it's supposed to be concise at the cost of it being intuitive. Would be like somebody saying typing words in to Google is more intuitive than writing regex. jq i

That video is from 11 months ago, long before Trump was elected for his second term. Once was an anomaly. Twice is nearly a pattern but not an anomaly. Third time is an established pattern.

I didn't say the US is finished, I said it was finished as a liberal democracy. It's already slid in to 'electoral democracy' instead of 'liberal democracy' the difference between the two is how 'rule of l

>(though currently a little bit less marked) Again this is a false equivalence, 'a little less marked' isn't close to imparting the true state of things and to be honest a little disingenuous. The EU is not in full motion

"Tu quoque" comments don't help any discussion. Both the US and Iran are wrong. Iran is wrong for the massacre and the US is wrong for starting a war with Israel against Iran. They are wrong for different reasons. Iran is run

That's a useless approach as you point out but doesn't meant there isn't a valid testing regime to be explored and upheld. Manual testing is going to be a lot more important, I see QA teams/roles becoming very valuable a

The new bottle neck isn't writing code, it's testing. You're right you can't blindly trust the output of an LLM but you can trust the testing regime to ensure a certain standard has been met. In hindsight this actually s

If cool means interesting then yes, it is cool because it's archaic and different but it's not effective. It's the equivalent of a verbal contract. It's simply not as clear or coherent as a written one. Irish democracy i

Non of these issues affect France because France had the foresight to invest in Nuclear tech that gave them energy independence from both the US and Russia while being green and sustainable. It's certainly not perfect e.g. France impor
