LastInLine posted:while i can tell this guy is awful by the fact that he calls it government without any article or adjective i will say that the argument of "when was the last time the american government did anything to help you" is a pretty compelling one yes, it's almost as if the last forty years have been a nearly-uninterrupted slide into ruin after the dominant party began an explicit policy of dismantling the ability of the federal government to do anything to help people, and the submissive party decided not to do anything to stop it but because i can't help myself, heres what came to mind first: 2011, when medicaid saved my son's life. shut the gently caress up Nomnom Cookie fucked around with this message at 04:45 on Jul 29, 2021 |

the first post you quoted doesn't seem very ghoulish to me. it's just stating a fact: pension schemes are designed around a certain life expectancy, and as life expectancy increases so do pension obligations. in the USA, this means that various Medicare and Social Security trust funds will run out of money over the next few decades. they're explicitly not advocating for more cancer to keep life expectancy down (the hn-ish take here is to encourage smoking, as it tends to kill quickly and around the retirement age, so you get maximum economic benefit from a smoker while minimizing end-of-life medical expenses)

i spent several years living and working in nova and transit was useless to me for just the reason described: i lived in a spoke and needed to commute to another spoke. dont know how you conclude "transit doesn't work" from that though. especially commuting baltimore to reston, thats gonna be hellish no matter what lol.

alexandriao posted:I think this is a fair opinion if you have encountered corrupt unions. Like to me it reads as someone who would support unions but doesn't feel able to because they feel they are corrupt nah it’s bullshit. like blaming poor people for being poor when they gently caress up at all, and rich people are allowed to do whatever stupid poo poo with their money and it’s fine. like if anti “corrupt unions” people are also anti corrupt businesses then that’s fine and I can respect their position. it’s dumb but I can respect it. that’s never the case though, it’s just holding unions to a higher standard than any other organization

MononcQc posted:yeah a lot of the generic issues come with the subtyping when you allow class hierarchies where the -variant types get in. The rest of it is pretty straightforwards in general. java generics are a pretty good argument against rejecting generics due to complexity. cause theyre super complex and like ten people understand java generics fully and its fine. i still dont know what a lub is and yet i can make generic types just fine. some of them even had type parameters with multiple bounds, which i mostly used to find a bug in the jdk and demonstrate to the coder after me how dangerous it is to let a mid go unsupervised

Jabor posted:I've done some very dodgy stuff with Java generics. i had abstract generic controller classes that would have like AbstractAdminController<T extends CRUDEntity & Image> and use reflection in the constructor to find out the actual parameter for T and generate an admin UI for the entity. iirc the jdk bug was that passing a T into a lambda that expected an Image would fail at runtime

alexandriao posted:unpopular opinion: Knuth was right and programming is an art form in the same way that architecture is. Also PG was unexpectedly right and there are many similarities to the way my mother (A highly accomplished painter who is now teaching for an extremely prestigious organisation) has to mentally handle composition, form, etc. and the way I have to as a programmer -- even if the nitty gritty "cracking the egg and making the omlette" parts are different. We've talked about it a lot. its a problem with experts in general. some people, once they have expertise in an area, assume that all other areas of expertise are trivial. it's not limited to programmers as i recall PG's essay was titled "hackers and painters" and was incredibly pretentious and self-indulgent. the man's brain is mush and i have no doubt that even if he reached a correct conclusion it was entirely accidental. also the activity he describes as "hacking" is repeatedly stroking yourself off over how clever you are until your project is covered in s-expressions. are you saying that is how you work

chaosbreather 1 hour ago | next [–] the idea that art and formal mathematical proof are at two different ends of a spectrum is to spectacularly misunderstand both. mathematics is a field of intense imagination and artistry, it is the study of pattern itself it has a long boring poorly taught ramp that takes an entire educational career to get to but maths is profoundly artistic, maybe the most artistic, because the truths created and expressed are universal beyond universes.
