   Thank you for always bringing previous discussions up. It's nice to get a broader view of what people think, especially when there's little activity in the current thread (which isn't the case here but sometimes is).

   I don't think the statement about declarative UIs needing hacks is true. In Flutter or Elm for example, you can write something like: if condition then ConditionalWidget1 else ConditionalWidget2 Where this if-statement is embedded

   Was it possible on older machines and operating systems? I'm afraid I don't know enough about low-level performance but I always enjoy learning more.

   From my own memory, trans topics had hardly any coverage in the news (= my best indicator for popularity/acceptance) 7 years ago in 2016[0]. I think widespread acceptance is a very recent thing and it somewhat seems like the T in LGBT

   Those interested in the history of scientific thought might enjoy a great book by Arthur Koestler called "The Sleepwalkers", accessible, readable and well-written. It's also endorsed by modern philosopher John Gray as a precu

   I have autism but not persstent depressive disorder and this random stranger wants to wish you well with handling it because it sounds difficult. I've nearly gone insane with my OCD (people with autism are at more risk of having OCD) a

   I had hit the rate limit a few trimes when it was new, but never since then. I think the limit has been either removed or vastly reduced from that experience. I don't see any of the people I follow complaining about it either.

    What's the issue with single open source developers providing solutions? I would expect they'd have an easier time than married ones because of the time commitment married people should give to their family.

    Statistically, the number of Muslims in America seems to be stable, accounting for those who convert to and away from Islam[0]. It doesn’t look like it’s dying to me. [0] https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2018&#x2

    I think (guessing) the two of you might possibly be using different definitions of “better”/“worse”. We’re not morally responsible for the fact some of us may have mental disorders (some like OCD which I have won’t leave us entirely),

    That's right, and there's Bolero too. From my understanding, Blazor is by Microsoft and aimed at C# primarily while Bolero is from the wider community and aimed at F#. https://fsbolero.io/

    2-3 Trees do have less (or actually no) storage metadata than AVL and Red-Black Trees which store one bit each node (lg n storage complexity in total), and I personally appreciate that about them. Another balanced tree described by the auth

    This is a great one and one that I think will be useful to you particularly concerning your goal. These quotes in particular may be of interest to you if you are unsure or limited in time. If they sound interesting, read through the rest of

    It sounds similar to (but possibly different from since I never heard the term "slice universe") the theory of presentism in the philosophy of time. That's the view that all that exists is the present. What we call the past i

    I think in retrospect that I was too dismissive and hyperbolic about my comment that some fields seem to enjoy having an unnecessarily complicated style, but I think the characterisation of some academic writing in the humanities having a

    I like Arabic's diacritic system which makes pronounciation of a word you've only previously read predictable. I remember once pronouncing "stoic" as "stoyc" instead of "stow-ik" once in English for e

    I think it applies most of the time, but some fields and academics (like Judith Butler to pick a famous example) seem to rejoice in the opposite, complicating your language to make your point more difficult to grasp. So I wouldn't be q

    Thanks! It looks interesting. I’ll try it out hopefully. I did try a Vim-style extension out once but don’t remember why I didn’t stick with it.

    I'm not a fan of JS myself in all honesty (just not my favourite language to code in), but I think your first point is more about front-end dev culture than flaws inherent to the language itself. An alternative world could have existed

    After re-reading my comment, I think it was somewhat unfair. LunarVim is still the best and most comfortable code editing solution for me and the performance hit isn't that bad. The point I made about config hell might also be a bit ou

    I can't comment on any implementation details, but at least with LunarVim (which I use for daily coding), a slowdown when interacting with LSP is very noticeable. Some others have attested to this on a GitHub issue. I'm not doubti

    It's sometimes thought that specific questions yield the most informative results rather than general ones. R. G. Collingwood talks about this again and again in his Autobiography (which is less about the man himself and more about his

    I think "sum types" and "pattern matching" in functional languages are great and expressive. A sum type is basically an enum type you can associate arbitrary (but still strongly typed) data with (like associating two str

    Musk has been accused of bringing anti-Muslim content to the attention of his millions of followers (like Amy Mek's tweets about the France riots and other things[0]) and I'm sure that wouldn't sit well with Saudi Arabia. I u
