Account created two weeks ago, posting pretty much only right-wing propaganda comments. A bit suspicious...

Why though? I'm worried these technologies may take my job away and make the balance between capital and labor even more uneven. Why should I be happy?

Just because the new name may be geographically accurate doesn't mean it was a good idea to change it. The change was clearly for propaganda reasons, and that is what makes people upset

My feed was mostly leftist but since musk took over I started seeing a lot of musk posts and far-right propaganda. Twitter is far from being a neutral platform.

> Musk was left-leaning not so long ago So what? He's been clearly far right leaning since before he purchased Twitter. He's been one of the main supporters of the Trump campaign and he's vocal about his political ideas. T

How can a platform owned by a far-right man with a clear political agenda be the place for "political balance"? It's inevitable that left-leaning people will increasingly leave Twitter, as long as it is run by Musk

For sure the situation won't improve under the current government, but there have been improvements in the past. TBH I just hope that honest taxpayers (which I'm sure are the majority of people, given employees can hardly avoid ta

Indeed, the Italian state is totally capable of enforcing taxes. However it lacks the political will to go after (especially some categories of) tax evaders, as they're a big source of votes in particular for rightwing governments like

by bbzealot 3y ago
How is this relevant to my comment? As an Italian I agree that taxes are rather high, but enforcing them only on a subset of citizens while happily allowing another subset to easily avoid them is definitely not the solution. I'd be muc

It's not really an arms race, it's more an inbalance between different categories of citizens. Employees can hardly avoid taxes (as long as they're regular workers), while autonomous workers ("partita IVA") and smal

Unfortunately, in the current economic system having a bullshit job is way better than having no job (unless you're rich of course).

Yet the fact that shareholders want to get richer doesn’t mean that laying off people when a company is drowning in money is ethically right.

I’m pretty sure that if you need some stock to grow in order to support your children, then your influence on a public company is virtually irrelevant.

You’re claiming that a relevant amount of Americans accused Trump of being Xenophobe due to his remarks on TikTok. Do you have any source to back that claim?

Same here. Growing up fully immersed in the capitalist world it’s easy to think that this is the natural state of things. This book, among others, helped me change perspective and challenge my assumptions about the world. Totally recommende

Fair point, even though IMHO it's not that hard to apply the concepts from these books to a FP context. Nowadays there are even resources about DDD specific to the FP world, such as Domain Modeling Made Functional by Scott Wlaschin [0]
24.
by bbzealot 4y ago
I don’t see your point. DDD is not inherently tied to OOP: the whole strategical part isn’t about code at all, and the tactical part is applicable to FP as much as to OOP. WRT design patterns, they exist in functional programming as well, t

How is this related? I mean I get it targets the BEAM, but Gleam is a programming language, Lumen is a VM.

A bit off-topic, but it bugs me how the picture in the article shows a Blackberry Bold running the BB10 OS, which never supported such device. I wonder why they showed a (probably) photoshopped device instead of a real one.

The struggle for privacy and for workers rights, vacation time etc. can coexist, I don't see anything wrong in that.
