programmers are introduced to CS history, it's just mostly irrelevant or poorly contextualized so there are no useful lessons

This has been going on forever. That just means the people that "worked it out" were shitty teachers and/or bad at spreading their work.

That's not true. Significant amounts of lobbying and palm greasing happen in person, explicitly off of cell phones. It's not a coincidence that all of the companies that receive massive amounts of federal government money have headquarters around DC.

>What neighborhoods are there where rich people reside who have no more social or political influence than people living in The Projects?

Compared to this one? Nearly all of them. The neighborhoods in Mountain View are filled with affluent people that have no connection to federal politicians and no influence over the FBI at all.

The navy was in a conflict with illiterate goat herders?

Rust and Go pull in some stuff from functional programming (first class functions) but are not really designed around functional programming as the way to get things done.

Most go programming I've seen is like python where you are slinging around maps that are getting modified all over the place. Very antithetical to functional programming.

didn't dark sky used to show these uncertainty ranges?

It's not difficult, it's reckless bordering on incompetence. The shared kernel is just way to much attack space and shared resources to make it tenable in the face of adversaries.

A shit ton of people apply to FAANG companies because of the money on the table despite having no professional experience as a software engineer nor writing any code.

Not everyone is selling a product nor do they care about catering to the lowest common denominator.

"identification with one's own nation and support for its interests, especially to the exclusion or detriment of the interests of other nations."

I love these idiom screw-ups. One of my coworkers once tried to use an English idiom and it came out, "let's not beat a horse to death."

Those are based on the assumption that votes are equal. There are a lot of people I just don't have any interest in hearing from.

No automated system is going to fix eternal September style problems. And before you suggest that I could simply follow the groups I'm interested in, that's still not the same thing because the people in those groups will still be engaging with/distracted by the people I'm not following.

Right, and GPL is making all of us open source devs rich. I can't fathom getting into open source and then getting mad when people use your tools to great success.
