Teachers get a lot of (empty) praise in the US. But many of them allow bullying. Many ARE the bullies. I've known a teacher who sold drugs to students. I remember a classmate who was r*ped by a teacher.

Nothing new or surprising. Anyone who regularly uses both systems knows about the Windows performance tax. Most notable is the performance improvement of the recent Windows update. I wonder what happened.

Your concerns are absolutely valid. Julia tooling is lacking, and tooling quality can be more important than language quality. There is a reason why Java is so popular. I feel that most of your points can be addressed if the compiler's

A possible 'solution' is for governments to offer lucrative bounties on cures, e.g. $50b to cure Thyroid cancer. And then have the cure's IP freely available.

You're wrong. Not giving RMS a free pass to do or say whatever he wants for all eternity is literally cancel culture.

Guix is one of the most important software projects today. It can be bootstrapped from an auditable 357-byte binary seed [0]. No other package manager can claim that. It is also a unifying force for much of the GNU ecosystem. [0]: https:&#

People who are interest in this should seriously consider Emacs's org-mode.

For some people, no amount of money is worth their time. Work only enough to survive. And if the government can take care of that, then it is not worthwhile to seek employment regardless of wages.

In contrast to interpreted languages, creating a sysimage is yet another step (in addition to installing a third party package). In contrast to AOT-compiled languages, PackageCompiler.jl doesn't statically analyze your code. So you nee

The amazing thing about this UI is that it just works across many of different editors and REPLs (VSCode, Emacs, Pluto, &etc). It reminds me of GNU TeXMacs, which has a similar interface for equations. That is, typing "\int" f

I pay for YouTube Red in part due to the promise of no advertisements. Sponsorship segments reduce the value of the subscription significantly. I'm surprised YouTube does not have a policy banning such segments.

Counter-anecdote: I work with a couple of devs who went the bootcamp path. Great front-end devs. However, they are paid significantly less for the same work relative to fresh grads in the office. Wages aren't based off of fairness, but

Unlike RISC V, the "other" free ISA, performant POWER workstations/servers are already available. Moreover, IBM has done a lot of great work in making the POWER ecosystem open (not just the ISA itself).
