Depends which side you're on. If you're a Democrat, Dems are the 'adults in the room.' Reps are psychomaniacs tearing it all down.

If you are a Republican, Reps are the party of the real Americans, not the elitists trying to prevent you from succeeding. Democrats are a bunch of stuck up snobs that are too book smart to know how to effectively run a government.

Pick a side.

Lol. Call sign of a junior developer...

Right, but C++ is evil, remember? It's better to make your own language from the ground up than using something that thousands of people have worked on over decades.

How big is your project and is it on the level of scale of Rust

In some circles, these are equally as 'hip.' Idea: learn the tools you need to get the job done. Study theory to supplement your skills.

Well said, thank you.

Do you understand the concept of abstract syntax trees? This already exists in every language and we specifically and deliberately moved away from it because it's not conducive to code.
Hmm... Uber and AirBnB were 'first wave' where there wasn't even any precedence to charge or regulate them. Now we see a ton of regulations in specific cities for both of those companies.

As for the scooters, maybe you just live somewhere else, but where I am in, it was a fucking NIMBY nightmare. They were throwing them in front of tech / private transportation buses and into the water. They were all banned for about 6 months until legislation came out.

This is a fucking joke, right? Jazz dominated American music for ages and is as influential as the Blues. It's like making a post today titled "Why Americans Don't Like Doowop."

We get it, you need to feel important for knowing something cultural.

Also: "To be able to enjoy instrumental music, you must be able to appreciate abstract art, and that requires a certain amount of effort." Lol, okay. I listen to Skrillex. Therefore I am cultured.
