I fully intend to kill myself eventually. The idea that I should prolong my life past the point where I get dementia, a degenerative disease, or just plain old age where I can't stand up or whipe my ass is repugnant enough that I can&#

So long as it's not state mandated, more power to them. If they feel 50 more years are not something they want why should we force them to?

The great replacement is a supposed conspiracy yet everyone in here complains how raising children is too expensive, how immigrants are imported to fill in for the missing people and how they accept wages lower than what natives would accep

And? Knuth also used Pascal for the original Web and TeX. Both are still Pascal programs that get transpiled to C before being compiled. Just because he does something doesn't mean you should copy it religiously. Web and its derivativ

Social responsibility is not programming a nuclear warhead to target Moscow but target an arbitrary location which happens to be the location of Moscow.

Yes and what it was successful as was something else again. The trust fund kiddies went away and actually interesting people took over. Then the trust fund kiddies came back and ran it to the ground. Same thing as reddit.

Aging out is one of those myths that sound true until you think about them. The number of developers doubles every 7 years or so. Which means there are twice as many 20 year olds as 30, 30 as 40 and 40 as 50. So if you're at the averag

You start with a pinch of dyslexia and end with a bit of a lisp. Pretty straight forward when you imagine what it would sound like in a game of telephone between 10 5 year olds.

Every religion in the West is losing adherents as quickly as 80 year olds are dying. Pederasty has nothing to do with it.

It really wasn't. They just showed and and took over because their trust funds let them work without a salary.

The response to Knuth. He wrote a general program to solve the problem. The supposed solution in bash depends on the exact programs existing already. If you changed any of the original requirements you'd need to do write a c program to

Cities are getting worse year on year. I'd still be living downtown with kids if a homeless camp hadn't sprung up in a park near by. Suburbia by contrast is far enough from public transport that the homeless can't get there.
