In 2016, 7 members of my extended family died. 6 on the road (not two in one accident), one stroke.
life kills.
same but daily. it's more satisfying 😁
Hmm, trying hard to imagine punk concert created by AI. Like it actually might add forth accord to the music. ewww
I'm not selling bitcoin, sonks or other assets and pay capital gain or other taxes just to avoid debt. I collaterize them.
debt is the only rational thing you can do in the fiat system (beside stacking sats of course).
not right, but definetely rational.
from my POV it's good old devide and conquer.
let's just all fight about which race/minority/religion/operating system/... is opresssing who and how instead of joining force to fuck with the state(s)
Same thing as when we start using (heavy) machinery. You don't need ppl to do "the work" but you need the ppl to design, make and maintain the machines. And much more efficiently then ever before.
I don't expect it will be different this time.
Yes many will loose their legacy jobs. And many new positions will emerge.
I don't believe in silver bullet either. But functional has a nice mind shift. Where you realy start thinking about the data. Not particular algos or design or whatver is hot this year.
Btw. I don't remember if it was basic or pascal? Or I can't decide.
But C was the first language I used for serious programming (early days proprietary touch screen drivers for linux) when I was like 13.
Yes. But doesn't have to be so direct. E.g. bitcoin. Everyone profits.
Because I believe that most people are better then me.
Well, I wouldn't call C functional but rather procedural.
LISPs are functional. And homoiconic as a cherry on top.
syntax suggar? not at all. it's about how you think.
E.g. objects doing different things bases on their (private) state. when you're never sure what the state is.
Not to mention things like inheritance and overloading. And templates. And macros (ok C or LISPs have them too).
this is where functional programming changed me. Every programming task is a data transformation task.
The only abstraction I need is an abstraction like "sequence".
It all boils down to synchrous and asynchronous communication.
the most efficient work is work you never do. postponing replies usually achieves this goal for me.
I prefer the async because I usually make bad decision if forced to decide immediately.
structured procedural vs abstract behaviour
(I somehow lack better wording today, holidays are tough 🤪)
c++ is opposite of C
"Passports" were issued at war times so you could visit your family members across battle front. There was no such thing as a permit to enter a territory. There were only permits to leave (because you were a proprty).
The internet was the first step to liberate people. removed artifactial (state) borders for broader human cooperation.
