bombolo··on Signal walks the line between anarchism and pragmatism
You're ok with it because the social contract is that it only happens with reason, to people who have done something to deserve it.

But now it's more like dictatorship and police controlling opinions, which, when it happens in non-western-aligned countries, we all agree that is a really bad thing.

bombolo··on Twitter has officially changed its logo to ‘X’
Well the lobotomy and several nobel price for peace winners prove that nobel prize winners have stupid ideas also within their domain.

As I already wrote in a different comment, KeyError and None aren't the same.

Like any religion, they push it on you.

It's not 1 crystal, also glass isn't a crystal, metal and plastic either.

I understand what you're saying but it's just wrong.

bombolo··on Young people are flocking to astrology
You're downvoted but it's true… anyway one can have a phd from a bullshit university in a bullshit field. Not all phds are decent.

logically sound derived from made up premises

> people well versed in the religion don't actually make any such claims

No true religious people in scotland?

That's why in python that raises a KeyError, or if you use explicitly .get() you can specify anything as your default value.

Let's try this in python…

    >>> T = int|None
    >>> T|None
    int | None
Yep, quite simply this is solved flattening the unions and removing duplicates :)

one is about feeling morally superior to others, one is about helping others.
bombolo··on Amsterdam bans cruise ships
Well the netherlands is funded by the tax avoidance in the rest of EU, so I don't really see the problem.

new gpg supports them for signing… do you not sign commits?

> the preferred IDE was the cloud-based web app

possibly, not everybody is ok with using a not so good editor, no debugger integration and keeping their ssh and pgp keys somewhere else than a local machine.

being a hipster and being a socialist aren't the same.
bombolo··on Hollywood movie aside, just how good a physicist was Oppenheimer?
a comment on ycombinator is better than having been in the schools?

You seem out of touch with what the government in sweden has been doing so far.

I agree that there are big social problems in Sweden. But I don't see how sending Kurds to die in Turkey; and generally blaming every problem that exist on immigrants while doing nothing to address said problems, will solve anything.

bombolo··on Hollywood movie aside, just how good a physicist was Oppenheimer?
By allowing private schools to have no oversight from the government, pocket money and teach (or not teach) whatever they feel like? Did that work?
bombolo··on Hollywood movie aside, just how good a physicist was Oppenheimer?
Try to work as a substitute teacher and see how it's not nearly true.
bombolo··on “That Deep Romantic Chasm”: Libertarianism, Neoliberalism, & Computer Culture
It might be surprising, but your own opinions aren't the same as facts.
bombolo··on Hollywood movie aside, just how good a physicist was Oppenheimer?
Both Sweden and Finland joined NATO with the goal of increasing army spending and reducing it on the social programs.

Better to give money to USA to buy one F22 and to complain about darkies being criminals, than to put money to education so that criminality isn't the only route out of poverty right? /s

And of course in Sweden the schools where the residents are poor get less money, aren't as good, and it's much more difficult for their students to be accepted into a university.

bombolo··on Hollywood movie aside, just how good a physicist was Oppenheimer?
Oh yes... Sweden. Political party initiated by a literal SS soldier, keeps having to kick out members for nazi salutes and similar stuff, but calling them fascists makes you offended...

The same government that wants to revoke citizenships and permanent residence permits. Yup, calling them fascists is an abuse of the word. Hahahaha.

bombolo··on WhatsApp had a major disruption
Most users don't even know that happened.

> They still have significant centralization, which is why they will likely reach a ceiling on their productivity

Which got them where they are, you mean.

But you seem to want to promote liberal ideology regardless of merits.

bombolo··on Coroutines for Go
Not forcing to check errors is akin to what you do in C, and even there compilers complain about this.
bombolo··on “That Deep Romantic Chasm”: Libertarianism, Neoliberalism, & Computer Culture
How quaint indeed that you delude yourself of establishing i said it as a bad thing.
bombolo··on “That Deep Romantic Chasm”: Libertarianism, Neoliberalism, & Computer Culture
I guess you also deny this happened :D https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression

Also, china isn't liberal, that's why it does so well. They also don't have intellectual property.

bombolo··on Discord is not documentation
You don't see the majority of people that do not do this, because they never interact with you in any way.
