I'm glad you posted this; it AMAZES me that not only has this simple idea -- managing dependencies at the application level -- not been more widely adopted, but that there has been a massive investment in complex "chroot"

There's a rich irony in your avoidance of the most obvious car analogy possible: between internet addressing and street addressing . Understanding URLs is in no way similar to even a rudimentary understanding how an internal combust

Let me apply the necessary nuance to your argument to strip away the racism and sexism: "I agree that we should be judged as individuals, but if you are white and male, then you should also be aware that you are perceived differently

Tell me how it's not racist to think that all "white guys" are sitting in the better end of a power dynamic when called "a cracker"? Subsets of academia focused on "critical race theory" might try to redef

I am an individual! When you equate power and privilege with my appearance and gender, not only do you dehumanize me and treat me like a caricature, but you seem to assume that I hold some sort of power that makes me immune to your hate -

It's an interesting counter-point, but I'm not sure it's an example to be lauded; most of her complaints were found to have no basis in fact, and she's likely poisoned any future legal suit she might wish to bring. Addit

Thanks for your reply; I concur with both of your assertions. When it comes to differentiating expertise, we often have to look for secondary indicators; pay has an extremely poor correlation with competence, especially in high-demand job

There are actually two common fallacies here; I'll try to handle them separately. CPU Cycles vs Developers This is a common false dichotomy: that expending more CPU cycles on the language runtime makes a language more efficient in te
