I love how everyone here thinks they are above bias. It's precious. I'm just honest about mine.

I didn't say that they were left wing terrorist, but I assumed (perhaps wrongly) that you were referring to their support of left wing political parties. Again, I assumed that you are a conservative or libertarian. I apologise. I'

ETA was a terrorist group, but they publicly announced an end to violence in 2011. They began the process of deescalation after 9/11. It should also be mentioned that the UN had said that the Spanish occupation of the Basque region vio

You're an investor, it says so in your profile. Most of your comments have a fairly standard pro-markets anti-regulation view point. I was extrapolating that to be conservative but you could also be a liberal pro-markets type. So, my b

Terrorism? Edit: looking at your comment history I'm going to go with them supporting other left wing groups as your "terrorism"?

I'm really interested in the Core guidelines. They are only a few years old, however. It will be super interesting to see some case studies of large codebase adoption in the next few years. The lifetime profile is the one that I '

Right, but the loss of revenue from conference attendees is something that can be used as leverage against the politicians. The same thing was done in the US to push back on anti-lgbt laws. It has had some successes. It's not perfect b

That's not a reasonable response. Even if Gdansk is liberally run it sends a signal to legislators that policies effect revenue and gives them a reason to push back that avoids moral arguments. That being said, I think it cedes the mor

Wow! Thanks for replying. That's a really good point. I'm looking forward to trying it. Cheers.

It was internet BS, not rust BS. Sorry if I wasn't clear. Cheers.

The read through of docs in their repo is interesting. They mention Pony several times as an inspiration because of it's type system's concurrency primitives. Rust and Cyclone are also mentioned. I've recently gotten over my

Right on. If I'm honest, I've called people out the same way with almost the exact same language on different subjects. So, fair play.

I'm going to say something crazy, and it's cool if you disagree if you don't call me names or kick me in the shin. Pay people to go to school. At least for a while. Why not?

So, I'm not saying that all academia is a front for aliens. I'm saying that the narrative produced from the status quo in economics has been, for almost all of my life, very conducive to the interests of the powerful. Do other fie

I personally think that economics is propaganda. Economists may think they are above ideology, but...

It was a really cool project. The software isolated processes concept is something that I really like.

PG mentions in footnote 2 that " the far right tend to ignore moderates rather than despise them as backsliders. I'm not sure why. Perhaps it means that the far right is less ideological than the far left. Or perhaps that they are

"If that saying doesn’t convince you of the fatuousness of left vs. right labels" It reminds me of how fatuous Nassim Taleb can be, certainly. That quote basically deletes any historical context and actual belief held by those gro

There was a copy of the code for Singularity, the predecessor to Midori, on CodePlex. Not sure if it ever got moved to Github. It has to be said, though. It's more like "source available", not open source. I can't rememb

That's a pretty big simplification of politics over the last century and a half. For example, let me grant you that Nazi Germany and the Soviets were equally bad for the sake of this question, would that mean that we and our allies wer

I'm trying to understand how you see Republican positions changing over time as well. From the perspective of policy or cultural issues. If I grant your point about how the last 15 years has seen a resurgent left, something that I&#x27

Are you saying that as the Democrats became distanced from working-class issues, the republicans got closer to working-class issues? Could you explain that in terms of the policy that they adopted or is it a response to Dems adopting minori

"and the far right and far left are roughly equally wrong" I disagree with this in the strongest terms. I realize that the people on this site lean right, and arguing politics isn't really cricket, so I won't go into to

Thanks for the link...just bought two solokeys. Been meaning to do that but lost track of them.

Isn't this what rustlang did? I have to admit that I'm coming around on rust. I still think that their fanboy marketing is obnoxious...but I need to get over my penchant for finding reasons to be angry.

Like I said, nothing happens in a vacuum. People in the anti-abortion camp routinely call people evil, demon possessed, and immoral. They have killed people. There are bills passing now that force women to undergo unneeded medical procedure

Me too? I also hope that I never encounter slavery in real life? It does happen, and if I did meet someone that was forced into slavery, I would hope that I could find help? If anything I was defending public school? What the hell are you t

I bet you also think taxation is theft and Ayn Rand is a great author. I hope you never see a real prison. I'm serious about this. They are horrifying.

Do you grant creationists good faith? How about anti-vaxers? Flat earthers? People have been using free speech absolutism over the last couple of years to popularize poisonous ideas. Should we keep letting that happen? EDIT: Maybe they have
