yeah, I agree that there are definitely valid uses for clone(). I included it at the top of my table with a bit of humor, hence the smile. Thanks for pointing it out! ^_^

Looks great!

I took some cpp examples as guidance. As for geek for geeks agree, one shouldn’t blindly trust it and better use several sources. Adding more reliable sources is definitely point of improvement. I also used introduction to algorithms paperback book, but was lazy to add it as a source ^_

one thing amazes me for sure: there is still bunch of people loudly protecting their masters’ right to exploit and rob them.

And they are doing this while are already living in the world destroyed and robbed by capital, where COVID showed how vulnerable and under-financed our healthcare system is, where due to the global competition and sinking profits of corporations countries are building alliances, and preparing a new big imperialistic war for us, where crisis goes after crisis together with high inflation globally, and where quality of life is sinking monthly.

You’d just swap profit for influence instead. Look at the USSR, they had issues feeding their population, yet the people in power largely got whatever they wanted. See the famous trip Boris Yeltsin took to a Texas grocery store. At least in those days, capitalism handily beat communism in providing a variety of foods to the average person.

I cannot accept your argument since variety of brands for similar product in the store doesn’t mean society can feed itself. It is wrong angle to see on the object. Since there is various of factors which could easily destroy such logic from quality of food to affordability (simple a lot of product in store, but people cannot buy it). Much better metric is satisfying the need, in our case in food. So in our case we should look at calories consumption and nutritional value. Look at cia document where conclusion is “American and Soviet citizens eat about the same amount of food each day but the Soviet diet may be more nutritious”.

Countries which prevent markets from operating efficiently tend to do really poorly over time. The more authoritarian, the worse they perform.

In general it means less government control over the markets. And less means libertarian concept (see article again). If you mean something in between , there is need in very detailed scale to find difference between current regulated markets, non regulated markets (libertarian nonsense) and balance that you want.

hehe considering market propaganda in education, on every media it is hard for me to not challenge my “belief” on a daily basis.

unfortunately in your comment you repeating neoliberal propaganda, please check guardian article on “free market zone libertarian experiment” tldr it led to low wage sweatshops and workers repression (and spoiler even this libertarian experiment relied on governmental support)

for sure, there are many essential needs beyond housing and food. I cannot agree that it works well with food either, starving still exist even in “developed” countries. It looks you are trying to a patch something that really flawed. Unfortunately it is not a way. We should move away from profit oriented society and away from human exploitation.

depends on problem you are going to solve, if you want to provide people with affordable housing, then challenge your beliefs in almighty market.

if this topic is among your interests, this book allows you to dive deep with relative ease

Landlords do not build houses, they just rent them out. Housing, shelter call it whatever you like is human right and essential need, so it should not be a part of speculations for profits. Now you can see overpriced real estate because of investors who buy it and never live there. All this “helpers” who rent out their apartments bring more harm than benefit for society (they at least contribute to a price growth in real estate). Buildings could be constructed by government owned organizations in order to provide society with housing, no need in speculators to solve problems.

Sapiens is basically a simplification of a great book: The Outline of History, written by Herbert George Wells. So I highly recommend to read this as well, or if you havent read Sapiens yet, rather read The Outline of History. https://www.gutenberg.org/files/45368/45368-h/45368-h.htm

Again, no one disagreeing in existence of more than 2 classes (many of them in decay since Marx time). And again, considering the post, the comment is valid enough. Not from a pedantic point of view, but in current circumstances it makes the point. Existence, motion, decay and revolutionary potential of classes is an interesting topic, but I doubt that under the meme post about “middle class”. No offence.

It’s true that more than 2 were mentioned, but my comment is still accurate enough.

You just wrote the saddest, shortest story about illiteracy ever

There is not such thing as middle class, pure sophistic. There are only 2 classes, proletariat and bourgeoisie.

Nah … sounds too liberal, don’t trick yourself labeling yourself an anarchist or any other leftie

So basically nothing will change in it for you! Don’t worry, you lose nothing.

Surprised too

No one promised more ;)
