There are an incredible number of topics that are deeply entwined with culture and issues of many kinds, that doesn't mean it's useful to turn a local law concerning garage mechanics into something about race. Would allowing only

Why does it seem like people feel the need to make anything they can about race? (Maybe I'm just overly sensitive and it doesn't happen as much as I perceive, to be fair) I don't agree with the law, but literally every race o

I was writing code in go for maybe a week before I noticed "make" was an overloaded function and subsequently noticing go doesn't allow you to overload your own functions. Things as simple as this seem mundane, but it's

I've only seen reporting suggesting that every variant listed as a "variant of concern" from the CDC is present in Israel. So their data should be good.

There are many objectives that are interesting to pursue that don't have anything to do with working to sustain a lifestyle. I can sympathize for people who have traveled the beaten path for so long they're unsure how to create th

It's much easier to imagine a scenario where physical money is controlled by an outside force than crypto. Holding physical zimbabwean dollars, for example, did not ensure you held anything of value. I think arguing that control over

Kubernetes does not solve the issue, it merely has strategies for how to upgrade nodes. The issue is that when you compile new code, even if the function didn't change at all, it will be a new version of the function. If the upgraded

sure, but I'm not talking about hot upgrades, I'm talking about upgrading entire nodes that exist in a cluster. The nodes will not be able to pass around functions as an upgraded node in a cluster will have a different version of

being unable to do dynamic dispatch seems like a big show-stopper for distributed/meshed apps, which seems to be the only reason for targeting the BEAM to begin with, no? If you don't pass functions around as MFAs in a distributed

I definitely agree that it needs to be simplified, but I think there has to be balance and nuance. I would think a simple left vs right is the most simplistic view one can take and thus has swung entirely too far in the direction of simplif

I think you're arguing my point for me here! If we don't immediately try to label something with simplistic labels people would be forced to reason about the policy based on merits rather than labels (or just not consider it at al

How do labels facilitate reasoning in this context? If a politician, for example, says that universal basic income would empower poorer people to become larger contributors to the economy thus having a strong ROI while raising quality of l

Useful to what end? So that people can easily label an idea such that tribal followers can quickly decide if they are on board? I can't think of great applications, only negative outcomes from such a simplified labeling of people and

Maybe for small pieces of code, but getting the overall higher level feature goals of code in go is hell (for me). The lack of function overloading to generalize intent for generic work is abysmal and outdated. It pains me to no end that

I don't know that name-calling adds much value to the conversation, but I will say it's a failing strategy to try and make value judgements for other people. The way forward is technological advancement. That has always been the c

sure, but which languages would be capable of dodging the "not enough libraries" complaint if java is the baseline? Maybe 2 or 3?

I hear the 3rd party library complaint a lot, but as someone who has been writing elixir professionally for about as long as you have I just haven't seen that. Speaking of kafka, the clients aren't as far along as the official cl

I'm not sure this point is relevant unless you're implying that because the system is imperfect we should introduce more systems in place that can be just as easily imperfect in the same ways.

I find that most people don't realize they are always betting. Keeping your wealth tucked under your mattress in USD is still a bet. Everything is a bet and everything has different risk profiles. If someone sees that shorts in GME are

if buying stock as an individual based on the recommendation of other, non-insider individuals, is artificial market manipulation to you - exactly what is "regular" trading to you?

by toolz 6y ago
No, it's not going to pop no matter what, that's not how the market works - and presumably most everybody cares how it happens. Most people aren't big on artificial market manipulation.

You don't understand how disallowing people to buy into a stock causes the price to drop, or you disagree that disallowing the purchase of a stock causes the price to drop? From my perspective it seems rather straight forward that if y

Are those two concepts mutually exclusive? A liquid currency that holds value in unstable economies would seem to serve both the purpose of being spendable as well as a stable investment like gold. Maybe I'm misunderstanding what it
