I can never find it now, but someone had an idea for a computing system which was purely temporal for every object and then you'd only access outside of temporal by filter.
I wish I could find it again.

In football, the QB generally decides the outcome of the game and their performance is directly comparable.
I admit there's some weirdness that they don't face off directly, but that's why.

I mean, lots of extremely talented and successful engineers, e.g., DHH, think strict typing is actually a negative. I think if you think strict typing is an absolute disqualifier, you should steelman the opposing side.

On the other hand the NFL’s hard salary cap and consequent parity is what has made it the most popular US professional sporting league. People in the US don’t want to see big markets buy their way to championships.

It’s trolling because the photos are easy to substitute or not use at all. No one is going to knowingly post a blog photo costing them 400 quid. It’s a gotcha.

Probably just a muscle spasm. This has happened to me a lot when I start a new exercise or restart an exercise after a long layoff, particularly handstand push-ups and to a lesser extent other exercises targeting the neck or upper back. It’s actually interesting you had the same experience, it’s not it’s me.

Ah, yes, this is how I refactor in Elixir too. I feel icky about it from a DRY standpoint but I’m training myself to ignore the scolds that held me back from being productive for so long.

So, what us promoters of free speech read this as is, “anything that qualifies the unified messaging of the dominant orthodoxy is banned.”
Anthropogenic global warming is of course true. But there is an absolute metric ton of shit to qualify about the messaging and particular facts, claims, and policies around it. Some of this qualification will come from adversarial debate where the policy opponents are mostly wrong, but still provide some nuggets of truth.
Now I know that YouTube cannot be trusted to host this discussion.
