I tend to think that destroying the nazis and the empire of japan was worth the extremely high cost. I'd hazard a guess that most ukrainians and russians and koreans and chinese and a whole swath of southeast asian…

I highly recommend this movie if only because it's a hilarious combination of excellent production value, terrible acting, and some of the most boring and openly delusional film you'll ever witness.
The term end-user does not refer to advertisers by definition. Typically most people use the term "user" to refer to humans. You're not wrong, but advertisers are a cancer on society that not only do not contribute any…
Eh, it depends on the situation in question. Social acceptance (if this is even possible) will cost some people far more than it can benefit them. Any behavior, principle, or value will inherently make some portion of…
My god the future sucks far more than we could have ever imagined. Imagine being sold a chatbot and being told it's an android!
A metaphor with another physical object will always fall short. Why not just state the number of bits a particle represents? It's much easier to describe going through each dimension (colloqiual, I hate string theory…

It's clear google wants to be a dumb pipe rather than a business that's responsive to end-user needs. Unfortunately, they're also notoriously unreliable as a dumb pipe.
I expect spamassin will work as well as it always did. The difference now is that we're not allowed fine-grained control over whats spammed at us.

Make's clear benefit is laying out a process as a series of dependencies.
Shell scripts are additional complexity? I'm not sure what you mean. Adding structure reduces complexity.
What's the distinction? What do just do better than make?
I don't think that really matters. Sometimes even basic shell scripts are better modeled with a makefile.
I expect people will just ship with their own model where the built-in one isn't sufficient. When people describe it as a "critical tool" i feel like I'm missing basic information about how people use computers and…
You're comparing an a priori concept with a posteriori one. It's like claiming the number five doesn't "acshually" exist. Like yea, it's a concept, concepts don't exist. A universe isn't a turing machine because it…
I'm ok with this if it's also banned for everyone else. Otherwise this will just be laundered through private enterprise, the only party less trustworthy than the government.
We'll never know because nobody tried. The internet is too broken now to bother searching. For a group of people that claim to love empirical analysis people on this site sure do love writing off anything but the…
Right but writing dependency management (of targets, not package management) in shell seems like a nightmare compared to just leveraging make. Why complicate things? It's dead simple to debug, the interface is dead…
