I was only addressing your use of the idea of "ownership," not the question of whether private parties silencing people is good.

Since when does firing people constitute ownership? I (partially) own the government (in theory, if it's a democracy). I don't own the company that I work for.

How’s that? Seems like it’s just saying “we’re not going to treat you like a journalist if you don’t claim to be one, and you can’t claim to be one without having done any work before.”

I believe that stop orders are not effective during the after-hours period. This might be because they require a market-maker to actuate, but I'm not sure.

I appreciate your clarification, and for the record I am not one of the ones who downvoted you. I agree that police being free to enter your house without probable cause of a crime is not good, and I'm not sure how many people are argu

Not a compelling problem imo. You could say the same thing about irony, sarcasm, etc. but nobody calls it a problem.

I took that to mean that they don't use string theory to prove anything per se. But it sounds like they got "insights" from string theory, which seems like it was useful for once? IANAP.

It seems like this is more a critique of the design of the standard library than the language itself. You could create a library that behaved similar to the Rust version, offering the same compile-time safety checks, in C++. I'm sure i

Absolutely. The more experience I have, the more repugnant dynamically typed languages seem to me (for domains where they fit, i.e. I'm not talking about untyped assembly or whatever).

That's a good point. DRAM only sucks power when you flip the bits right?

I did some research on this topic in university, and our consistent result for CPU-based programs was: if it finishes faster, it uses less energy, and vice versa. So it's no surprise to see that VM-based programs use more energy; they&

What it's doing right now, or what it does habitually, or what it can do, or something else? Is the purpose of my toaster to sit there broken, because it's broken right now? This isn't very useful by itself imo.

In some senses I think it has changed, into the modern web dev experience. You've got a living program running, handling events on the DOM, etc. And developer tools let you inspect and modify objects live, time travel in the debugger,
