I know you're being sarcastic, but responding anyway.
NPR fortunately also does not make the rules. Refusing to use the word 'spooky' because someone might imagine racial connotations creates those very connotations, while continuing to use it the regular way prevents those connotations from creeping in.
Those looking to be offended, especially on behalf of others, are ofcourse free to do so, and they are also free to be offended at being publicly ridiculed when they attempt to use their cultivated sensitivity to redefine acceptable discourse.
Like what ReleaseCandidat said--- types originated as a compile-time thing, and things like range checks mostly make sense as run-time assertions, so it seems kind of strange from a compiler standpoint to conflate them...
But, from the developer's standpoint, types are a very convenient place to put such run-time assertions. Raku has them.
you're not wrong, but to explain- i was cheekily referencing g k chesterton's discourses on charity as a paradoxical virtue:
> It is true that there is a thing crudely called charity, which means charity to the deserving poor; but charity to the deserving is not charity at all, but justice.
the usefulness of the distinction comes about if eg someone were to say, "that person doesn't _deserve_ charity", then they'd be making a judgment call, and therefore be acting in a way counter to the universal goodwill that charity is really about.
so like i said, a cheeky nitpick in this context, but i think an important one to keep in mind.
anyway, my comment was hidden because this account is hellbanned, so thanks for the charity lol
there's good amount of drama right under the surface if you look at dark matter as "unexplained fudge-factor that gets bigger any time we look at space with more accurate instruments"
That's not the first thing that comes to mind..
but anyway what's the catch, does it rely on a more complete IaC-style deployment than you often find?
