Neoliberalism effectively stopped any history. We are living in a Neoliberal Atemporality. Or more precisely: we have lived through it and are now about to leave it. Not sure what will follow next, but one thing is certain: the history is about to reboot itself.

Nope. Neoliberalism is what we should be talking about. Anything else is just avoiding the elephant in the room.

Bell Labs was highly regulated, a state-owned monopoly. You can read more about it in "UNIX: A History and a Memoir" from Brian Kernighan.

And of course would Linus Thorvalds have created Linux without having known anything about Unix. LOL.

Regarding "innovation" in the industry: it's just another neoliberal fairy tale. An industry that doesn't risk their money in funding research (especially basic research) is neither an industry nor innovative.

We need another term for (yet another) neoliberal illusion.

I can't remember ever written to go back in time. Again, typical neoliberal newspeak. Either you are irrational or reactionary.

And your glorified advances in theory and science were...mostly financed with public money.

Just look at your smartphone. Try to find something that wasn't financed by the state (in this case the USA, that is, their taxpayers). And I don't mean the design but the most important parts: LCD, Touchscreen, the operating system (Unix came from...where?...Bell Labs), and all the many sensors.

Another neoliberal illusion is the "visionary entrepreneur".

One of the neoliberal illusions many believe in, is that their opponents are leftists.

These days programming languages are going the way of JavaScript frameworks.

Excellent intentions, but technological garbage.

Cheap promotion should be banned. You are only misusing this thread for propaganda. Unfair but also useless. People aren't that stupid.

Never said you should give up anything. Only that things take time. In 2009 you couldn't buy anything with cryptocurrencies. Today you not only can buy many things but in many countries (and regimes!) cryptocurrencies are the only way to preserve a little of what's left from previous wealth. Think Venezuela.

I don't understand your point. Just wanted to talk about technology. But ok, no problem. Have fun.

LOL, "broken". However, unlike you I am not trying to advertize any cryptocurrency here. Only wanted to talk about decentralized solutions. And bcash is exactly an example of a NOT decentralized cryptocurrency.

Anyway, I don't want to argue with you. Have fun with your s*coin.

Which country? Nobody can _stop_ you from accepting cryptocurrency.

Add a "time" variable to the equation and then come back some _time_ later. Then we can compare how many have used it in 2009, 2019, and 2029.

True. That's why I used "decentralized solutions".

Bitcoin is not less legal than any fiat money btw.

The same fantasy world that according to some people should not have had any need for more than 5 computers worldwide. ;)

This and similar behavior is what ultimately drives people toward decentralized solutions, like Bitcoin for example.

If the richest and most powerful countries say "there is no climate change" and "others want to destroy our economy", then the answer is a pessimistic one. The same applies to countries that say "yes, there is a climate change and we must do something", but in the end avoid doing anything to unwind the death spiral.

Same thoughts on my side. And we're mostly doing nothing to stop the growing catastrophe. And I am no exception to that, ...just to be honest.

It's basically a shitcoin. How about calling it "Merduro"?

Just tried a whois on this domain's data. There are lots of other domains registered by "Mengzhu Wang": http://domainbigdata.com/nj/7bJvx8m5-fv11P6kSKx6vA

According to archive.org this page exists since 2015:

Thanks for your helpful answer.

...and I don't understand why some people have downvoted my question. Anyway, I'll continue reading the docs :)

Thanks!

Still reading the docs....D seems to have a very clean design. No baggage from some "glorious" past (70es, PDP, IBM 360 etc).

Could one write a driver in D?

Please don't get me wrong, as I don't want to start a flame here, but why do they call D a "systems programming language" when it uses a GC? Or is it optional? I'm just reading through the docs. They do have a command line option to disable the GC but anyway...this GC thing is, imho, a no-go when it comes to systems programming. It reminds me of Go that started as a "systems programming language" too but later switched to a more realistic "networking stack".

Many, many thanks! I've updated the tutorial.
