  • I see your perspective and I think you kinda miss my perspective which I am to blame for.

    I don’t say there weren’t improvements. I am saying that given the uncertainty of “goodness”. Maybe we shouldn’t idolize it. You can appreciate the attempt of creating memory safe code through a programing language without thinking the bare metal code should be written in that language. You can like a typeless easy to write language like Js without thinking desktop app should be written in it. You can like the idea behind functional programming while believing that any application is in the end about side effects and therefore a purely functional application impossible.

    You can approach the whole topic as an area of study and possible technological advances instead of a dogma.


  • There have been “improvements” but fundamentally in my perspective, these “improvements” could be revealed to be a mistake down the line.

    Assembly has produced some insane pieces of software that couldn’t be produced like that with anything else.

    Maybe types in programming languages are bad because they are kinda misleading as the computer doesn’t even give a shit about what is data and what is code.

    Maybe big projects are just a bad idea in software development and any kind of dependency management is the wrong way.

    I like modern languages, types and libraries are nice to have, but I am not the student of the future but of the past.






  • Why aren’t they doing anything?

    I wished they won’t do shit. But in reality, they actively harm young people in their attempt of buying a home. E.g. I don’t know if it is something that exists in the us but in Europe there are plenty of countries with laws to protect old buildings but most of the time these laws are flawed as fuck and result in less affordable housing for people who want to live somewhere and cheaper real estate for big fraudulent dickheads who want to build new rental buildings



  • I worked in a office supplier at one point. People would enter the office, put some documents on the first desk they see and look at the guy sitting there. No hello… No sentence… Nothing… That is usually the point when we knew what was up. The guy would look at the documents and say "you aren’t at the right place. Wrong floor. Wrong door. " They would look at us in shock. Sometimes complain that you couldn’t tell where you are. It was always the same. They wanted to get something from the government. They had an office in the same building. There were multiple big sign. There was literally 2 signs outside telling you which floor. Obviously our office had a sign too. They passed at least 3 signs in an office building while they were looking where to go… People don’t read signs… They just don’t.

    For those horrible enough to like this.

    Sometimes each other too if my information is correct. So even if you are a bad person and want to harass innocent people, kiwi farms isn’t the place to be.

    Bad people are bad people towards you too if you give them the chance. Just don’t be bad, much better. Don’t hate!



  • I think you are very unfair in how you paint the picture. Biden shouldn’t support genocide, obviously. But realistically, you have to choose between 2 genocide supporters. And “stopping trump” is a good reason to vote for 1 genocide supporter over the other. Obviously you don’t like the genocide supporters and you shouldn’t be forced to choose one but you are living in a (practically) 2 party system and both run a genocide supporter.


  • Me going to school for free, me going to the doc for free

    “That is not free that you pay for it by your taxes”

    Ok, me paying taxes for the same benefits that I had. Effectively paying back my debt. The debt doesn’t control my life because if I lose my job, I don’t have to pay my debt through taxes, if I change careers, I still pay what I can.

    “That is communism!!! That is bad”

    Elsewhere, the same service for the same cost

    Person goes into debt to go to school, person goes into debt to go to doc

    “That is good! Taking accountability”

    Same person pay extra through interest rates.

    “Usa! Usa! Usa! Low taxes! Small government! Freedom from government!!!”

    Person is slaving away at their job because they can’t afford losing their job and missing a pay check.

    Okay buddy.
