Sorry, the commons are the exclusive domain of private corporate profit, not for humans to occupy.

Shoot yourself in the head or cut your wrists with a knife?

Those are your choices. Choose freely!

I think it takes MORE attention and thought. I feel like a rope being pulled tight and fraying in the middle. Working with these things is very addictive and interesting but it is cognitively exhausting long term, even if invigorating in the short term.

Which I did. Most obvious opportunity for a trailing stop order of my entire time trading, lol.

Pretty much every other mainstream language bar JS. I'd say also Ruby because I also do not like a lot of its choices, but there's at least a kind of heady elegance to it in a REPL, though I would never want to work on a production system written in Ruby.

Frankly, I just really prefer statically and strongly typed compiled languages.

I did my last company's first Demo and MVP in Python after running through the Koans at my co-founder's behest and ultimately we decided that the production system would not be done in Python. There are some cool things about it - specifically I do like that annotations are real AOP seams, but the numerous footguns and lack of types and a compiler just make it a very annoying ecosystem to work in for me.

It's such a shame python got such mindshare. It's a disaster of a language and ecosystem that people keep bolting and hacking things that much better thought out languages have had for decades.

Yes this has been one of the killer apps for me. Describing my problems and having it review my code and the academic literature and industry white papers for prior art has been incredible.

Yeah I agree zoning should be severely relaxed. That's not to say you should be able to build a big box store or chemical factory downtown, but i think a lot more mixed use high-density stuff being allowed where it currently isn't would be good.

Yup. So many bozos giving those of us that know our asses from our heads job security far into the future. Yeah it's gonna suck to actually do the work a lot of the time, but the irresponsible generating insane amounts of tech debt that people that know what to do is a tale as old as the outsourcing craze and codeless tools, and frankly, probably COBOL.

And I'm sure the business logic has been validated and tested, the hosting and execution medium has been secured, and hooking up to a curated and vetted internal package manager mirror so as not to get hit with 0-days during a shai hulud-esque attack, and of course the executable is being scanned for vulnerabilities, and as the app needs to evolve in the future it will be able to do so with no problems whatsoever.

A land value tax seems like such an obvious solution to so much that ails our societies. Allowing legacy land owners to accrue vast sums of untaxed value due to the economic activity of everyone else in the vicinity of their land creates such perverse incentives.

A great example near me is in midtown Atlanta. For decades there have been empty lots that just sat empty and empty and empty until enough economic growth happened around them that their owners finally sold it for development. Even today, there are empty lots and vacant decrepit buildings in some of the most valuable locations for hundreds of miles because we are not taxing the value of the land these people are accruing.

The president enriching his family to the tune of billions and billions of dollars while flouting every norm and law possible and committing war crimes and murder is equivalent to...someone baring their chest?

> The melodrama about "moral bankruptcy" is performative.

Oh, on that point we could not agree more.

Literally, yes.

Why are you people so obsessed with the genitals of others over the bald-faced corruption of the most powerful nation in the world?

>This is good for society.

This is society. Its origins are people banding together to collectivize violence and its legitimate uses in order to protect themselves from the state of nature in which the strong take what they will and the weak suffer what they must.
