  • There is a difference.

    A lot of people who claim to be liberal, just aren’t left wing. The good example is the FDP party in Germany.

    To quote Wikipedia: The FDP’s political position has variously been described as centrist, centre-right, and right-wing. The FDP has been described as liberal, conservative-liberal, classical-liberal, and liberal-conservative. Other sources have described the party as libertarian or right-libertarian.

    There are left wing liberals, but don’t act like they usually call themselves liberal.












  • I see your perspective and I think you kinda miss my perspective which I am to blame for.

    I don’t say there weren’t improvements. I am saying that given the uncertainty of “goodness”. Maybe we shouldn’t idolize it. You can appreciate the attempt of creating memory safe code through a programing language without thinking the bare metal code should be written in that language. You can like a typeless easy to write language like Js without thinking desktop app should be written in it. You can like the idea behind functional programming while believing that any application is in the end about side effects and therefore a purely functional application impossible.

    You can approach the whole topic as an area of study and possible technological advances instead of a dogma.


  • There have been “improvements” but fundamentally in my perspective, these “improvements” could be revealed to be a mistake down the line.

    Assembly has produced some insane pieces of software that couldn’t be produced like that with anything else.

    Maybe types in programming languages are bad because they are kinda misleading as the computer doesn’t even give a shit about what is data and what is code.

    Maybe big projects are just a bad idea in software development and any kind of dependency management is the wrong way.

    I like modern languages, types and libraries are nice to have, but I am not the student of the future but of the past.






  • When did I or anyone talked about more than 6 figures? We talked about who got the money and in my comment, I made clear that “a lot of it” went to dickheads. so I thought it was obvious that i wasn’t talking about “6 figures”.

    And also musk was legally required to buy the stocks… It was hardly a gamble. At least not a pony. It would have been a reasonable expectation that people will drive up the price because Elon (that genius) talked himself in a prison sentence if he didn’t buy it for that price, like a genius would do.
