Learn to program with Assembly by Jonathan Bartlett is what you’re looking for. I read the previous version and it was great.

From what I can tell, they simply made an observation. You're the one applying a value judgment to their statements. Pointing out that different tribes use rhetoric to "other" outsiders isn't creating a false equivalence.

They actually didn't and I don't know why you think they did.

As callous as it is, I think this is par for the course of human history. Progress demands sacrifice :/

I've had a MathAcademy subscription for some time and it's quite good. I'd say it's best at generating problems and using spaced repetition to reinforce learning, but I think it falls short in explaining why something is useful or applicable. I don't know, most math education seems to be "here's an equation and this is how you solve it" and MathAcademy is undoubtedly the best at that, but I wish there were resources that were more like "here's how we discovered this, what we used to do before, why it's useful, and here's some scenarios where you'd use it."

I highly doubt your claim. There is no mechanism to send money internationally (at least in Canada) that is both near-instant and free or near-free.

Right, I use SOL, not Bitcoin. Transactions are pretty much instant and cost a couple cents.

If you know a way to pay someone across the world in seconds for cents in transaction fees, I’m open for alternatives.

That's actually quite worrisome. I don't really think twice about downloading the top result for things like PayPal or local banking apps if I get a new phone, for example.

Takes like these are so moronic it hurts. I just paid an artist across the globe for some icons; the transaction took seconds to resolve and cost me cents to send via SOL. The closest I've come to that is Canada's eTransfer system, but it only works in Canada.
