Do you really? Have you ever had the pleasure of trying to sell the house of a recently deceased relative? More often than not they are absolutely filled to the brim with literally tons of useless junk. Entire rooms, garages or even floors

The average farmer definitely worked less than 40 hours. During harvest season it was more than that no doubt but overall the time spent on work was less and more diverse. It was only with industrialization and capitalism that work took ove

What the hell, so web developers were somehow reinventing basic UI elements like buttons at every use site? How is that even feasible? Making reusable self-contained UI widgets is a menial task that can be solved by just throwing more money

(2) is one of the most important points. We have to stop Google from cross-financing new products from other revenue streams so they can no longer undercut or buy all competitors. Google Maps is a good example. They ran it for super cheap a

I'd argue that none of those languages are the most appropriate for any problem at all. As long as the language itself is somewhat usable it's mostly the ecosystem (and hype) that counts: Libraries, editor support, build tools, et

It couldn't be further from the truth. People in power here are super corrupt and trying to erode the freedom just the same as anywhere else. Whenever you think of a foreign government as good you just have to assume you don't kno
