I just must let this one thing out.

> 34:02 binary logs are not a bad thing as long > 34:06 as you have the tools to pull them apart

Really? Did he just "as long as" the biggest downside of binary log compared to text log, that is way fewer tools work on a binary log due to its special encoding?

With the same logic, flu viruses are not a bad thing as long as you are immune to them.

What's a fact if not an opinion so firmly believed that one has to suffer a cognitive dissonance when it's countered?

If you break those PC models open what's really different? The hardware interfaces of PC has almost always been stable since the age of IBM PC clones. It might not be a monoculture in terms of all the RGB lightings you can put on your machine, but you definitely don't need to worry about different protocols. All the while Android phones can have the weirdest SoC's on the planet in them.

All nouns are labels. Labeling in an argument goes all the ways and there is no guarantee whatsoever the parties involved have the same recognition of the labels. That we even have enough common understanding to create a language is due to a special human ability to understand each other without precise language, thus labels. The problem is not using labels, but people who intentionally mess with said ability to understand and then plant the blame on labels.

For all who question "why not just copy history to new tab?": it is part of the trail design. By saying they are not throwing the tab away they have most probably already done that. This will be another screen to view the trail, like the tab exposé on mac safari.

Rust is standardized with lots of docs. The rest two will come with time.

I've long thought that Haskell is much more intuitive than any engineering languages out there for people with no programming experience, since it builds on mathematics that everyone has already learned. It's great to see functional programming placed at the center of intro-level programming teaching.

The syntax looks really Haskell to me, so it's not that awkward.
