   I'd argue that no language in existence is even remotely close to having no extra complexity.

   ... which is why a certain class of programs is most elegantly described in brainfuck? Certainly there are tradeoffs to be made, but this does not mean that some languages are not simply better than others.

   Shareholders don't have much insight or influence on the day-to-day in a business, so I don't think this would work very well.

   You already can 'save' songs in Spotify. I would hope they take that into account.

   Well, epel has extra packages. They are by definition not essential to the functioning of the OS. Why you wouldn't want those from a rapidly updating or rolling-release repo is something I don't understand.

    Unfortunately, it goes to the labels. The streaming services aren't rolling in the dough.

    Most states already are irrelevant. Your vote in US elections don't count unless you live in Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, Virginia, or Wisconsin.

    Not really. Most people don't care about ECC and gamers actually prefer the faster non-ECC ram. Since ECC is more expensive to make, the industry is obviously not going to sell ECC to people not willing to pay more for it. And in a luc

    I used to agree, but after seeing how easily versioning of schemas, procedures etc in conventional databases can turn into a clusterfuck I have changed my mind. I have begun to like the idea of putting all the schema info into compiled appl

    The YouTube channel Health Care Triage has a series on different countries health care systems. Super interesting how different the systems are.

    That's like saying a company will always be successful as long as it executes well. Good execution is absolutely necessary, and can compensate for mediocre strategy, but it can't fix a truly broken model.

    Politically, I guess it does. Half of the US would rebell if you tried to simply transplant the Singapore health care system to the US. The US is also more attractive for lobbyists because of its size. But economically it's obviously n

    Go is a very small language. If the interview process requires you to write code without looking anything up, that will be easier in Go.

    Of course they don't pay artists. That's not the people Spotify has contracts with. Spotify pays labels , and Spotify pays them a lot . That nothing emerges on the other side is not Spotify's fault.

    I thought that was pretty amusing at first, but at least in Germany there was a system that could be resurrected after Hitler. In Japan, I don't know.

    The US could just do what the EU does and ban sweetheart tax deals. Such tax deals are anti-small-company/unfair and it's a race to the bottom that no one will win.
