It's difficult to describe the local bureaucratic system and the general attitude towards work there. This is not something that could be fixed if the government cared, this is the government, and that's just how things work the

Not all of the Alcan is bad, but it's worse the further north you get. Alaskan roads are generally not built to Interstate standards, mostly being two-lane undivided highways. In general the US side is probably marginally better but ne

The most similar language to Python is Ruby, not Rust or Go, and Ruby is better at the things you've listed. Which would bring us back to the previous point that it's not actually about ease of use. Someone else identified Ruby&#x

There are multiple independent lines of evidence for DM. Your questions would be answered by reading the Wikipedia article on Dark Matter: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_matter

This theory is called MOND. It is generally considered to have fatal issues with observations: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified_Newtonian_dynamics#Re...

IANAP. AFAIK, Large massive bodies (MACHOS) have been ruled out by observation, and baryons would be detectable through EM.

There are absolutely multiple definitions of truth. "1 + 1 = 2" is not true in the sense that "Paris is the capital of France" or "Water boils at 100C" are true.

This is a low-brow dismissal without basis in fact. At the moment, multiple independent lines of evidence suggest that DM is real. There are no observations which contradict DM. Any competing theory must explain the same observations, which

Because it fails to account for all DM observations.

"Begging the question" is a mistranslation of a mistranslation. Saying that it means something other than what people use it to mean is the worst form of pedantry.

The existence of trans people is not an "issue", or a question to be decided. The fact of that existence is certainly very inconvenient to a great many people who are used to ignoring it.

Attempting to buy Twitter because you think it doesn't favor trolls enough was not a popular move.

Sure, but that conversation should have been between him and his lawyers, and between his lawyers and Twitter's lawyers. He might have actually had a chance, if he had. As is, he can't win for losing.

Why oh-my-zsh? Isn't that basically unmaintained?

Played a part in winning? Yeah and I'm sure the tens of thousands of French troops, muskets, the entire French Navy, and a billion livres had something to do with it too. The militia fared so well in 1815, as well.

The thing that no one seems to remember about the 2A is that it was meant to establish a militia as opposed to a standing army , which was seen as an inherent threat to liberty. Obviously opinions on that subject have changed over the year

Speaking personally, the reason I dread system design questions is because it's asking me to give an off-the-cuff answer to something I would prefer to take weeks to consider and research.

Shadowstats is not a reliable source of inflation information. I would link to a critique, but to be honest I think this point is more forcefully made by considering the volume of search results on the subject. Please stop repeating misinfo

Suffice it to say that I don't think the details of message passing are what most people care about with Ruby. I can see how your experience would lead you to believe otherwise.

Your criticism does not seem rigorously considered. Toy programs can often simply be renamed from .rb to .cr and be compiled and run as Crystal code. Crystal is not, however, trying to be a drop-in replacement: among other things, an enforc

Anything with moving parts requires maintenance, and trying to claim otherwise is absurd — particularly so when statistics to the contrary are readily available. https://repairpal.com/reliability/lexus/rx330

That's nice. I don't think that has anything to do with the actual definition of fascism, but I'm sure you feel like you have made a good point, and that's really special.
