I'd be happy with the destruction of copyright and patent laws.

Glad Nvidia has seen the writing on the walls and isn't treating desktop Linux like a second-class citizen.

What's funny is Java solved an issue that is pretty much non-existent in today's environment: compatibility.

It's much less like the Wild West these days. People have a clearer picture of what to support, how to support it, and generic tools to abstract platform-specific code.

I like Java. I think they did good things and had a pragmatic approach to the problems they were trying to solve.

But time goes on, and this young discipline progresses fast. It'll be interesting to see decades from now what languages survive and which ones don't.

I predict as time goes on, we'll get fewer big languages (popular, widespread, useful, etc.) and they will stick around for much longer.

Kind of like human language, if you think about it.

I don't really thing the security 'guarantees' of rust matter that much.

I think it's a better language to work in than C or C++, though. That's not a reason to change utilities now, but a larger Rust ecosystem is always better in my humble opinion.

What for?

Personally, I'm a huge fan in unifying software under one language.

I think that's fair.

Eventually, the Rust-alternatives will be battle-hardened too and we can simply choose what suits us best.

It's a good time for software, honestly.

Most big companies have feedback channels for customers on their websites.

What company are you talking about in particular?

someone who doesn’t want to confess can still plead not guilty.

Then they would be contesting the charges. A plea of 'not guilty' means you are contesting the charges.

has a completely different function than pleading no contest.

Yes, contesting the charges has a completely different function than not contesting the charges.

You seem to equate a plea of 'not guilty' with 'not confessing.' This isn't true. A plea of not guilty means you are contesting the charges.

A plea of 'no contest' means you are not contesting the charges, nor are you admitting guilt (confessing.)

Sorry, I've explained things as best I can. If you don't get it now, you never will and I think we should both move on.

I can say, with absolute certainty, that is not the norm.

For every sale they make, there are countless others they don't. And they still have to put in the time.

I've gone through many realtors looking for a house, all of them gave me hours of their time and didn't see a penny in return.

That said, I don't think realtors are necessary and we should push the idea that people shouldn't use them unless they think they need to.

Good point. I'm not a fan of BL, but I will choose it over almost any craft beer I've had.

That shit is just bonkers. No wonder it doesn't sell volume.

Smart business move.
