At this point, it seems like you're just arguing "nobody in Scandanavia wanted them to come and we got tricked" as a universally agreed upon societal opinion. I guess it's possible, but it's impossible to distinguis

Interesting. My perception for why other systems languages generally compile things to libraries is that they tend to use dynamic linking from a single instance of libraries on a system. I would have expected that when static linking is the

My point is that teen pregnancy very much does have a solution that has empirically worked quite well at preventing it when it's actually practiced (i.e. high quality sex education and ample access to contraceptives), and pushing absti

Makes sense! I think what's most surprising to me about the library compilation model is that for the most part, it doesn't seem like it's actually that useful to how Rust does things by default. Without something like sccach

I'm not sure I can remember any time I messed up by using a 64-bit int rather than a BigInt. I can remember plenty of times I should have either just used saturating add/subtract or was trying to compute something that was basic

I'd argue that using a pencil and paper (which is a totally reasonable thing!) is not really your memory at that point. Augmenting our hardware with peripherals is a useful technique, but it doesn't fundamentally change the constr

Didn't we invent the word "devops" specifically for the combination of work of development and ops? How did we get to the point where we now need a word for "development without the ops"?

This doesn't really make sense to me, You're claiming that it's fine to hand-wave the issue of deporting the entire ethnic group as a whole rather than individuals because it has no high-skill members, but that doesn't r

Fair enough, three years might be more of an upper bound than a lower bound. And yeah, the issue of having to wait is common to standard-based processes, but I've never seen anything else based on a standard so frequently have people n

The article literally is making an argument to deport the people you're complaining about, just not literally everyone else who happens to be from the same ethnic group. I don't really understand why you'd have a problem with
