It's not about the language, C# is generally fine if you know how to work the GC (which admittedly many people don't). The kind of C++ that is used for game code in UE4 isn't exactly "zero-overhead" either and it also…

So, an article in "The Guardian" laments the immorality of teaching capitalism to future would-be capitalists. Color me shocked! What should we teach them instead? The importance of social responsibility,…

They haven't dropped any language yet. They're planning to update to a newer version of C# and they will drop the other languages as a part of that update.
It 100% depends on the company and the hiring process. It probably helps with some of the "cool" places. I would certainly value it as a plus in "general skill level", but that's because I'm cool. It will probably not…
You're talking mostly about military intervention, mostly before socialists got the chance to even implement their policy. Now, wherever you start, a functioning economic system should be able to lift even a destroyed…

Define "massive Western intervention" first. Socialist policy at one point in history ruled half the world's economy. You'd think at that size, if those policies made any sense, it should be able to do fine even without…
Socialism has failed 100% of the time. You can't get worse than that. Even if capitalist systems failed to improve the lives of the poor 95% of the time, it would still have a better track record. In reality, the most…

If you disregard his halo of authority for a moment, you'll find that most of what he says is usually very laboriously articulated whataboutery. It is "thorough and detailed", but that doesn't make it convincing.

Why? I'm not the one making strong claims, why should the burden of proof rest on me? My "opponent" maintains that any "non-social" causes are "neglible". He doesn't have to explain what exact social mechanism causes…

I never switched anything. The conclusion that "there aren't as many high-IQ women" comes from "there is a higher variance in the distribution of male intelligence". It's been there from the beginning. You have to…
I'm not saying they'd need to change their beliefs, I'm just pointing out the irony.
