I’m glad you recovered, Cliff! I got a signed Klein Bottle from you as one of the first things I did once I moved to North America about a decade ago. It’s sitting proudly on my bookshelf.
For greenfield projects, I agree. It gets the job done, but PHP would never be my choice for a new project. Bun seems like a much better choice in pretty much every criteria.
I was very skeptical of Go when I started learning it, but it quickly became my favourite language. I like how simple but powerful it is.
If I had a magic wand, the only things I would add is better nulability checks, add stack traces by default for errors, and exhaustive checks for sum types. Other than that, it does everything I want.
It's very ironic that the way they could have made money was the simple, but boring one: buying and holding bitcoin. Being a shitcoin day-trader is much more exciting though, and that's how they lost all their money.
Maybe that's also what will happen with AI investors when the bubble pops or deflates.
It's only a problem for the GOP if Dems do win elections again. Judging by how things are progressing, it may not happen anymore. They have complete control over everything.
Isn't that why we don't have just a single country with a single set of laws? What experiment is being performed in Liberland that cannot be done in other countries that already exist?
What's would be the purpose of such liberal experiment? I don't see what is there to learn about it. Allowing some entity to establish a government in your lands just to see what happens doesn't seem like a wise move to me. This would only legitimize their claims to the land and legitimize them as a sovereign state. It's a good way to end up losing this land and creating yet another microstate.
