A headline that big should at least point to which direction those law changes will be leaning. Seems obvious, but it's almost written for an HBO twist lol

Either way, that's a very well read assessment imho 👌

I want to know if my leader can't do basic mental arithmetic, spelling, or critically interpret written language if they're out there negotiating trade deals on behalf of the nation.

I haven't seen a sane federal budget amongst the commonwealth nations since like, 1998 or something.

So coorperative prosperity is not exclusive to capitalism, but there is no capitalism at all without acknowledging this one specific trait lending to its success, so it's absurd to discourage socialism if you're going to war abroad as the champions of it.

It's hilarious to me how much I love javascript and will take punches infinitely for its shortcomings. I'm always like "just write better javascript! It's so flexible!" lol

Typescript? Use classes and type check your classes.

If we put as much effort into js as we have to with C, js would be fine.

Word up. It's just a proof to modern Conservatives who are terrified of communism, socialism, etc (ie: America first proponents) that the capitalism they swear by functions strictly due to the fact that cooperation is more profitable than isolation. That was sort of the point.

Credit where it's due, it can be really hard to name things this accurately sometimes lol. Ask any programmer.

lol have to admit though, if the functions are well named it is way easier to read their code and maintain it than the chain enthusiasts who can inline 3 nested loops in a variable declaration 😂

My all time favourite foot-gun lol

I wish my IDE had an extension that tracked the frequency and types of exceptions so that I could chart it from time to time. That'd be a lot of fun to track over time.

You don't join the UN as a superpower for the immediate benefits, you join and donate and submit in little bits to maintain hegemony at a way better price than war or threats. Being isolated makes even the mammoth felled by a tribe with spears.

Capitalism taught us we are all stronger cooperating.
