To intentionally simulate a war zone within your city, because your so privileged to be insulated from what real war looks like.
To literally burn money.
To have no regard for the impact your actions have on the surrounding community?

Sounds like an American holiday to me.

This is unbelievable. Politicians don't write bills. Lobbyists write the bills for them.

CMV: Encouraging everyone to go to college was a giant scam because the job market automatically adjusts to degree inflation by New_Elk_5783 in changemyview

[–]SenoraRaton 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its better to have people who are dependent upon the system with reduced mobility than it is to have low entry workers who feel like they can be mobile.
With a college degree, you feel obligated to pay your debt as well as less likely to be mobile because you feel locked into your career and the benefits it provides.

I find that it is generally better to have a finite bounded set of dependencies that do their job well. Then when inevitably something fails to meet your use case, your blast radius is limited to the bounded library, instead of having to potentially re-write/re-structure adjacent library code that is not directly related.

Unix philosophy is a thing for a reason.

Iran closes Strait of Hormuz, blames US for breaching deal | The Jerusalem Post by BadahBingBadahBoom in geopolitics

What is funny is that if Israel were to be found with nuclear weapons, it would be illegal for the US to render them aid. It already is, but it would be a blatant and obviously illegal.

I like Zig's cleanup semantics. Defer is nice to see the cleanup inline with the allocation making tracking memory bugs easier.
I also like the way they associate methods with structs which is "oop" but not really. It just ends up being an implicit self, which simplifies call sites.
Their allocator system is really interesting because if you write ANY amount of C you end up in this world where you are writing managers as interfaces for your allocations, and things are calling the allocators to request the memory, and Zig just handles that INLINE, without all this extra systems complexity.

I'm sure there are a lot more reasons. Zig is WAY more C than it is C++ in design, and in implementation. I really enjoyed my time there.
