Duh … we all learned this in sex ed
I would argue that ASM isn’t “powerful”. It’s direct. You can access advanced features of a CPUs architecture with the trade off limited portability. Sometimes it’s necessary but power comes from being able to express complex control and data structures in a concise and readable amount of text.
The subjective topic of what “concise and readable” means is where the language wars come in.
What Crockford did was enable a lot of devs to realize there was a viable development platform built into the most prolific and open network client in the world. For that he should be commended but it should have never been taken as “this is a viable general purpose language”.
I love how after a decade pandoc is still Haskell’s “killer app”. smh
America has a lot of problems but the idea that Americans can afford to be frivolously litigious is hilarious.

They seem like fun story prompts honestly. Could be a blast just doing it for fun with friends.
Retro computing love is lonely irl but thriving online. So yeah definitely a topic we don’t really bring unless you want to get a slice “back in my day” geezer action. Which honestly I’m leaning into these days.
With regard to point 1 I’ve personally found that my work relationships have not been impacted by remote work. I still can have honest and hard conversations when needed but also able to just shoot the shit and connect with people all over the globe. I have friends in Spain, Brazil, Scotland and Italy now. However I think there’s a real component of playing politics that’s lost when there is no office to roam around in and jump people but in my eyes that’s a good thing. And honestly that’s what really bothers middle management. They’ve built up a career playing that game of in person politics but once they had to survive in a remote working world where ad-hoc discussions get thrown out of the window they find their usual toolbox is empty. And it drives them crazy.
I’ve been hearing number 3 for about 20 years. It never works out that way and if they could split the job between cheap overseas contractors and limited on site employees then most businesses would have already done so. International hiring is a good thing and great talent can be found but it’s usually not the “savings” people expect it to be because the market will always adjust to demand.

I was 2006 adopter when Paul Graham dropped a link to it on his website. I was there before the original programming subdomain Reddit and even before they supported picture thumbnails. I’ve seen its wild mutations over the years. Bacon, narwhal, Mr Splashypants, Colbert name dropping, the original video IAMAs, the jailbait fiasco, spacedicks, random celebrity users, the redesign from hell, etc etc.
I left.
It was a good site for a long time but after being on Lemmy for a while I can see a clear difference in experience and now I realize Reddit has been bad for a while. Terrible discourse, lowest common denominator posts, and falling into the trap of continuous engagement just to get the next hit of dopamine. Honestly, spez ruining the site has been good for me personally.
I’m proud of our rejection of a commercial online experience. This is the thoughtful community I want to be a part of. This feels like the Internet of the late 90s in terms of authenticity. With its revival with the Fediverse I’m hopeful that these types of communities will forever be part of our digital experience.
Being an American I would implore other Americans to make their own butter at home at least once to know just how much better it is. Then imagine that being done with quality milk. That’s what these folks are talking about.
