  • I think you’re saying the same thing as what I am. If it’s more complex than what you may think, the language should guard against it. If not, it should make it simple.

    Rust, for example, is the only mainstream language where it isn’t possible to read from a file handle after it’s been closed. Doing so is a compilation failure. This is just a general invariant of “how to use files”.

    But you also don’t need to think about allocating or deallocating memory in Rust. It does that fke you automatically, even though it’s not GC.

    JS can also be complicated when it tries to hide realities about the world. E.g. is a const array or object immutable? No, the pointer is. But pointers don’t exist! /s




  • If this were a normal, fairly subjective disagreement, I’d feel the same way.

    If this were a medium level disagreement and they were objectively wrong, I’d also feel the same way.

    Supporting Trump is stunningly, objectively wrong, and in doing so they’re basically doing the opposite of this. They’re supporting lots of people losing a lot more than their homes.

    I fully support being happy about it.



  • I’m of the opposite opinion. Maxing out spending time with mom and dad means less healthy social interactions and growth for your child. I want them to have a separation where they have a teacher, a class and friends, and not feel they can run to me or are distracted by me.

    The children I’ve seen who were raised at home are miles behind our child in terms if development.

    Bringing a child to work seems worse - they can’t play with toys or engage in what they want at all anymore. They’d be subjected fk whatever the mom and dad have to do. They also have no friends or structured learning.

    The daycares we’ve used have been fantastic and care a lot about teaching our child in many ways they wouldn’t otherwise have.
