I heard Gyro Gearless got an STD on that island.

Where’s the >== operator? Because they also have the exact same problem.

It’s a racket. Most people would be better off if they just saved the money they spend on insurance. But you can’t really know that up front which is the entire point. Instead the state should offer insurance as a public service without any kind of profit incentive. OR we could live in a society where it’s not required at all, but that’s a lot further off.

US right wing libertarians. Though libertarianism is infantile to begin with, the US right wing version is even worse.

Free market just doesn’t work. It should be plainly obvious to anyone, but apparently IT FUCKING ISN’T. The reason for price increase lately is because most markeds have matured into oligopolies or just straight up monopolies, even when it’s not really obvious. There’s like 5 companies that make ALL THE FOOD in supermarkets. If you look at candy there’s 2 or 3 different producers disguised under different brand names.

Tech is the absolute worst when it comes to this. Nvidia has a straight up monopoly, and if the US government wasn’t corrupt pieces of shit, that literally made bribes legal, they would have anti-trusted them at least a decade ago. Intel was running a FUCKING RACKET for years without any intervention, and when they did get a slap on the wrist the damage was done. FUCKING MICROSOFT. And despite changing their tune the last 10-15 years with the open source work they still fucking suck. Google is manipulating their monopoly situation both on web browsers (Chromium), Search and with Android (they recently made a change that makes it so that you can’t install “untrusted” software even though there’s absolutely zero indication that this is an actual security issue).

The hard thing is to INFORM PEOPLE that the system is rigged, because the people that rigged it is also in control of the information flow.

Insurance is also fucking stupid, and should absolutely be a public service rather than for-profit private enterprise.

Yeah, the fact that so much of the language is conventions as well doesn’t help. The type hinting is fairly poor as well, but then again type hinting is basically admitting that dynamic typing is a mistake (which it is).

Yeah, Python as a language is a mess IMO. We used it for making a electrical simulator and the language is…bad. The variable scoping, lack of explicit variable declaration, backwards comprehension syntax, the VERY CONFUSING object orientation design, that classes aren’t serializable by default, package story and deployment… It really has very little going for it, and combine all that with the awful performance characteristics it’s just…no.

Today I’m “Rust if it fits, if not Rust then C#”. We re-wrote the simulator in C# and performance was 70x better and the code got shorter, the deployment was hell of a lot easier since we went AOT and it just builds a native binary for the target platform. No virtual environment crap.

This is ArtCraft we’re talking about, right? The “Adobe” thing is just marketing. It’s just a bunch of AI tools sewn together.

This is also why SMTP is such a fucked up protocol. It was designed so that you could just follow the email protocol by hand. HTTP as well followed this philosophy (up to 2.0 at least). A decade or so ago there was a bug in outlook where you couldn’t have a line with only a period in it because that’s the end-of-email signal in SMTP.
