Reminds of "pizza party" CLI back in the day: https://entertainment.slashdot.org/story/04/05/07/138238/piz...

Good fun ordering pizza from your favorite tools!

What is the advantage of using your service vs coming up with the prompt template myself, which shouldn't be too hard to do tbh.

I hope there's some real consequence of DMCA abuse like this. I hope companies would announce HackerRank boycott in hiring process. There are better alternatives tbh

Slightly off topic but, while we are talking about Korn the band, here is an insightful retrospective by David Silveria on music and technology: https://www.facebook.com/david.r.silveria/posts/662560027105...

Can rhide be built with this new tv? If so that will be the only ide I'll use and I'll never leave

What I wanna see is a guix equivalent of NixOps. That would be an interesting and viable alternative to Terraform

It's interesting to note that WSL uses 9p to mount the filesystem on Windows. Had MSFT taken a more FOSS-friendly approach, we could've had a burgeoning FUSE ecosystem built around 9p.

What pain point of Python as an education language is Pyret trying to address? Union type might be vaguely useful, although some of these use cases can be modelled as inheritance or typed enums.

Do you require an advanced degree?

Chrome Remote Desktop is a pretty performant and hassle-free option

In my mind Prolog is enjoying a health afterlife in the form of Erlang (and Elixir)

LyX has been my go-to editor for years now. I like it's wysiwym approach and I get so productive on LyX that can amaze seasoned latex users.

Hands down the best book in this area. Took me some time to read the book cover to cover but it is definitely worth it

I've written a javascript library to deal with folding and mapping recurring promises (i.e. promises that resolve to a value part of which contains clue to the "next" promise)

I agree TCO is an essential part of the Web ecosystem. What's interesting there is an ensuing discussion with panels from MS where they argue difficulties of having TCOs due to Windows calling conventions.

Taking those videos off YT will make things worse in terms of the inequality of deaf people. YT at least has an ability to automatically generate subtitle. It is not perfect, for sure, but is still better than nothing

I think one week is enough for any reasonable MV* framework to eventually pay off and boost productivity

Given the choices, I'd much rather see legalized, but fully transparent political donations. That way, voters will at least know which of the parties are more prone to Chaebol influences.

Democracy and Republic aren't mutually exclusive. I'd call rule of law with a democratic constitution (written or unwritten), political representation (direct or indirect), respect of human rights and civil rights to be the elements of modern liberal democracy.

Debatable. First, moral and ethical arguments for democracy: fairness, pursuit of happiness etc. Second, empirical argument: in this modern age, democracy tends to fare pretty well in comparison to other forms of government.

Of course by "oligarchy" I only mean it figuratively. Formally Korea is democracy _de jure_. But the situation is so bad that I'm calling out as an oligarchy _de facto_.

Ethics and morality aside (Can you really divorce them from the political economy, though), what worked at a particular context at a particular time doesn't necessary entail that such arrangement will work forever. Different stage in social and economic development calls for a different model.

I recommend Jonathan Tepperman's book "The Fix" [1]. His chapter on Korea is, in my point of view, fair, forgiving and sympathetic towards Chaebol system.

He divides the development in Korea into three periods: Dictatorial development (which I think what you call cooperation b/w private enterprise and government) 1962~1987 and democratization 1987~1997 and liberalization 1997~. I think he presents a case of what would've worked in a cheap labor export economy wouldn't work well in a post-industrial advanced economy, and how the country should move on.

By oligarchy I mean it's gotten to the point where they have such an influence as kicking an MP out [1] for exposing their connections with the prosecutors office.

Sure modern democracy and free market aren't free of problems, but Korea can use some Rule of Law.

It's about time Korea moves away from this oligarchical bs and embrace a true liberal democracy and market economy

I won't necessary call out Java as a complex language. However in not being so complex a language it sacrifices a lot of expressiveness found in other languages.
