Where are you getting the information on side effects ? All of the vaccines have reported side effects, is there any comparative analysis of the side effects ?

wtf are you talking about ?

Sure. Except, if you want to be a publisher and decide what content is or is not suitable for your private network, then you take responsibility for the content on your site.

Social media companies have been claiming common carrier status, ie they are not liable for the content on their sites. You can't do this and also take an editorial stance.

It's not close to the same. Typescript works fine on all OSs, it's just a language and the fact it was created by Microsoft matters nota jot. J++ was a deliberate attempt to destroy the write once-run anywhere ethos of java (not that that every worked). Typescript is the best thing to happen to javascript in the last 10 years. I used scala.js for quite a while but its too hard to find developers, and typescript gives 80% of the benefit for 20% of the pain.

> It will happen.

So will the heat death of the universe, but I'm not holding my breath.

For what you wish to come true, there would need to not be such a thing as GPUs otherwise new games will always all their high settings to exploit whatever additional power the GPU provided. Forget about it.

yeah, the questions could get harder as you go up...

That well known socialist Winston Churchill understand the problem well enough: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

"It was formerly supposed that the working of the laws of supply and demand would naturally regulate or eliminate that evil. ... . But where you have what we call sweated trades, you have no organisation, no parity of bargaining, the good employer is undercut by the bad, and the bad employer is undercut by the worst; the worker, whose whole livelihood depends upon the industry, is undersold by the worker who only takes the trade up as a second string, his feebleness and ignorance generally renders the worker an easy prey to the tyranny"

We have employment laws for a reason, and the reason is countries with strong employment laws are far more prosperous and pleasant to live in.

> it's not like experience is all that important in a brand new field

What brand new field ? There's no such thing. You could be writing drivers for teleporters using a quantum computer for all I care, experience still helps.

I used node for a while, I should have known better, but it sure made a change. Not a good change, but definitely a change. I think this explains it pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Oh .. I forgot to mention the most important gadget of last 60 years is probably the shipping container. This has had an extraordinary effect on our lives by (a) drowning us in cheap goods and (b) decimating local manufacturing.

The plough was a lot more influential than the wheel. Without the plough we would never have progressed far enough to need the wheel. It provided the surplus which all over advances depend on.

In the last 100 years the most influential gadget is the washing machine. It released women from the home into the workplace, transforming society. The computer probably ranks second in importance in last 100 years but if the computer/internet combo had done as much good as one would hope then we would be a lot smarter than we are and the given answers would be less ridiculous.

Python and Ruby are similar languages, and yet the cultures around the two are very different. A certain segment of Ruby has moved to node.js now.

It depends on the job. Some jobs it's not relevant, other jobs it is. For a general purpose programmer, the more they understand the better.

Sure, a library for the common problems already exists, but if you can't provide a reasonable stab at the standard stuff yourself, then you have no chance of solving the unique problems that you may run across. Also, if you're familiar with the algorithms used for standard operations: reverse, random shuffle, sort, that kind of thing, then you will recognise when aspects of your problem already have solutions.

You may as well ague there's no point teaching kids to add and subtract by themselves because they can use a calculator.

Finns will understand

Something was rotten in the state of denmark.

Snowden's revelations caused a huge shakeup in the intelligence community. Such as a federal judge ruling that the NSAs blanket collection was unconstitutional. If things were right beforehand, none of this would have happened
