hi, i noticed there isn't an option to delete my account, and the faq didn't address this from what i could tell. is there a recommendation here?

who use a different programming language than you

isn't this a bit reductive?

it's a tactic, not a personality trait

that seems like a false dichotomy. you behave as cruel and abusive as you do because it's within you to behave that way.

sadly we aren't all as smart and worthy as you are, and don't have a decade old react-like hanging around. some of us even prefer the idea of using an open source library for the various benefits of doing so.

that seems like a trivially true statement, if not an outright tautology.

So maybe it's not the language, but the person using it

oh. it would seem this is more about you feeling impressed with yourself, rather than making substantive arguments.

vue and angular have plenty of tutorials. react is much more popular (at the moment), which is why one would notice material for it more often.

why do you say that?

i wish there was something like `jbuilder new`, but alas. my current impression is that everything in ocaml-land wants you to spend time writing cryptic configuration files and inventing bespoke project structures.

Rust is beginning to understand that they need more stability

i though rust has been stable since 1.0. am i wrong?

imho, a get() from cache when you already have the value seems like an unnecessary waste of cycles and network traffic.

plus this arrangement would seem vulnerable to a pathological case where you found the V from the db, but have a full/failed/partitioned cache and end up faulting or otherwise not returning the V.

That is a funny question. It is like asking: what is the evolutionary advantage of a broken leg?

i'm unconvinced... a broken leg isn't a normal biological function, while (afaik) pain is an entirely internal process that is a 'response' mechanism.

Sometimes things go wrong and the result is pain. There is no purpose to it; it just happened. Not everything has an evolutionary purpose.

the ostensible purpose of 'some' pain is to cause you to stop or avoid doing something damaging, or being aware of a need to seek remedy. for those few people who don't feel any physical pain (congenital analgesia)... life is actually more dangerous.

when it comes to incapacitating levels of pain, things seem to get murky. there is some arguable benefit to adopting a protective posture (covering a wound, adopting a fetal position, etc) to mitigate further harm... but it seems these same behaviors can also increase risk of harm as well, especially when it comes to pain causing reduced situational awareness and other reasoning impairments.

i suppose what surprises me the most is that someone would use windows in an atm. i would've thought it would've been an rtos or maybe a locked down bsd or selinux.

is anything in the category of siri-like things not shit?

None of the things you mentioned are even close to AI.

then what is 'close to AI'?

is english a second language for you? 'orthogonal' is frequently used to indicate two things are not directly related or dependent.

You folks should read the urban meaning of orthogonal

nope, nope, nope. that site's a hive of scum and villainy, and a massive number of entries are just random nonsense.

i'd rather go to wiktionary[0], which includes:

"Of two or more problems or subjects, independent of or irrelevant to each other."

[0] https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/orthogonal

I did, you asked for alternatives, I gave you Rsync and SCP.

afaict, they asked about the impact to the linux build of filezilla (not about alternatives).

are rsync and scp strict supersets of filezilla's features?

they have their moments. they all tend to be good at cheerleading war, for example. msnbc fired phil donohue for being against the iraq war. last election, the washington post (in)famously ran a glut of anti-sanders material in a short time span (16 articles in 16 hours, i believe it was).

does anything necessarily need to be 'untrue'? (a lot of propaganda is 'true')

it seems curious that someone would sign (and pay for) a service provider contract that's largely pointless, but maybe there's a non-obvious loophole.

It just said it's 'silly'.

you did not include "so much that if it goes down it would cause a prod outage" in your quote, which is why the strawman claim was put forth.

i guess i just don't follow how you're connecting these notions.

'modernism' is/was a (poorly named) philo-artistic 'movement'.

postmodernism just refers to a movement that came into existence (or at least into fashion) after modernism. it's at least as old as the 50s or 60s.

honestly, if i were hiring and heard this of an applicant (and didn't have reason to believe it was something else like salary), i would feel that we dodged a bullet.

(that may not be entirely fair, i guess i just tend to be skeptical of people who get hung up on languages.)

if you mean "hiring d programmers", i think it's somewhat of a nonissue. afaik d isn't particularly esoteric, so any new hire should be able to get up to speed quickly.

afaik the bulk of those are just related to sizing (16 bits, 32 bits, etc). it's not really that complex, and generally quite handy for a language like go.

it seems to be that there's far too much packed into your statements for me to see a "think of the children" expression as anything but a baseless or perhaps even unethical rhetorical appeal to emotion.

from what i can discern of your position, i would estimate that your views are harmful. i can sleep fine not agreeing with you.

a photo related to this news item shows up on that link for me (in the preview card things at top). perhaps ironic.

perhaps you're simply not the target audience.

that said, this seems like it could potentially be a thought-terminating cliché:

The problem is that complex topics are complex.
