How did you learn it? Which books/teachers?
I understand your point and share it. Still, I believe you have no idea about what happens in Argentina's educational system. I share what a teacher explains about her experience in Argentina's schools. It's in spanish, but I believe that twitter has a translate function. The thread starts here

Yes, I agree, there are many advantages. Still I saw various high school level children who were able to get a torrent and launch GTA San Andreas in their computers, but at the same time they were unable to read in a fluent way and of comprehending texts.
I mean, autonomous children, and children with certain interests can learn a lot just by having a computers, while others won't learn much. But still, the exposure to a computer is helfpul for all of them.
I was too extreme in what I expressed. Both having computers and good education are positives.
I'm also from Argentina, and about 6 years ago I worked in a public school.
I think giving computers to children is good only if the quality of education they receive is good. I saw many children using their government-given computers to play GTA san andreas and Counter Strike while they were in the middle of a class, and the teachers didn't do anything about it because the government forbids them to take reasonable disciplinary measures (A teacher wants a child to pay attention during a class? Good luck, there's not much he/she can do) and also the goverments forces the teachers to make everyone pass every exam because "it is stigmatizing" for the children to get a bad mark on a test.
What I comment sounds absurd, but I have no reason to lie about it.
So, even if I consider it can be benefical to give computers to students in some conditions, in Argentina it's not well implemented.
Does is work for programming? and does it work for typing in different languages?
Is that 35 hour work week the one available in France? That sounds awesome, it allows a nice work/life balance.
Maybe he's talking about Argentina.
I re-learned JS recently,
https://javascript.info/ was an awesome resource and has almost anything you may need. Also MDN is good.
At least whe have "globalThis" now.
I read similar critics in other sites but right now I don't remember exactly where as to share the links. The arguments were similar. The article is balanced and well thought. You could search for other sites in the web, but I'd suggest you not to discard this one only for the headlines of other articles.
Some months ago I was feeling some pain in my right wrist, and by buying and using a vertical mouse the pain ceased.
Right now my belief is that non-vertical mice are badly designed and I see no reason to use a non vertical one again.
Are you sure? I believe that rather than notions of status the main factor that determines salaries is supply and demand of workers.
This year's change in the S&P Global Clean Energy index were incredible.
Why? If a worker loses his job, he also has to sell his labor-power on the market.
But if the investor diversified well his investments, he's likely to have lower risk than an average worker.
Ownership requires management and the steps which were required to achieve that ownership. Somebody maybe had to work hard to own, while others inherited.
Using that definition, why would you say that emteycz has special rights or advantages or immunity?
How do you define "privilege"? Isn't it another way of saying "wealth"?
Profit is the wage of the investor that assumes risk in his enterprise. No profit, no investment.
2 is what happens in Argentina.
Thanks. After reading it, I wonder if the problems he mentions only occur in Go, or if they occur in most languages that are not Rust.
I'd find it interesting to know what those complaints are about.
That sounds amazing. Which country is it?
Markets are about optimizing allocation of scarce resources. A post-scarcity society (if it were possible) would work differently.
What you say seems to imply that every rich person is an evil and greedy. There are philantropists too.
I think that capitalism's endgame may be a post-scarcity society, where technology allows us to have almost free energy, and very cheap everything that we may require for survival, with minimum human work.
