What is 'Good' software in your book, let alone great?

Comparing languages with types to languages without types is like comparing conservatism to liberalism. Less rules = more change. How much of your newfound liking for typescript can be attributed to 'realizing' it's better and how much of it is simply because you're getting older?

Never since I'm not American, but if I were I'd use a calculator. I think this is primarily bad for kids who have to do miles to feet conversion in math problems. It could even be lowering math scores, who knows.

I agree, but the odds of switching the default base to either is extremely low.

It's not great. We have a base 10 number system so everything should be in powers of 10. Not too familiar with my 528 multiplication tables.

This comment is not going to look great when/if the term 'Han Supremacy' becomes recognized as hate speech

Sorry, my han supremacy leaked through.

I would have just spray-painted the han supremacy equivalent of a swastika onto a few walls, but there's no such thing. No Chinese KKK to join either. We really are lagging behind the west!

You referring to hanzi as kanji is more or less the same as someone referring to a chinese person as a japanese person.

First of all, you're looking for the word 'equivalent', not corollary. Secondly, a talented lawyer could make a convincing legal argument for anything. The holocaust was legal. So really, the morality of the act is everything. Sure in practice, children are supposed to be held for 72 hours, but in reality it can be much longer. I'm not sure if I'm addressing your claims because you're using a bunch of big words, and I'm not sure if you're trying to say what they actually mean, so thats what I got.

Okay, but in this case I'm not saying there's whataboutism in your argument. The point I'm trying to make is that if you're powerful enough, you can make human rights abuses and then get away with it scot-free and that America helped set this precedent.

Download the league client if you want to be scared straight about ember. Resource usage gradually ramps up until by the 5th game the client is using more RAM than the game itself.

The problem is not past sins, its past sins that have yet to be atoned for. Conditions for Native Americans are still inexcusable up to this day.

Be real. They don't/didn't

lots of prisoners, shortage of labour, this also sounds like the US-Mexico border and the shortage of farm workers
