It’s called cultural hegemony.

I hate that people now associate dashes with ai as I used to really like using them (distinguishing between regular, en- and em-dashes, using them to make structure clearer over regular commas).

It’s conservative only in that it “conserves our ability to live on this planet”. The measures described in the paper can only reasonably be implemented under a socialist government that has taken full control over economic development. Capital C Conservatism as a political ideology, however, seeks to conserve existing societal hierarchies, hierarchies such as capitalism which, ironically, is expressly running us towards civilisational collapse due to climate change.

Here’s a summary of a paper on how we could sustainably support the current world’s population at a decent living standard

This factually incorrect. Earth can sustain the current population easily - just not with our current death-spiral of capitalism.

It’s also one of the core eco-fascist talking points.

We’re using general relativity to calculate sattelite orbits - fuck your point of sale system if our sattelites come crashing down we’re gonna have much bigger problems lol.

Pete when it comes to standing up against the constant against anti-trans rhetoric from the right (Sauce)

For example, around sports, where I think most reasonable people would recognize that there are serious fairness issues if you just treat this as not mattering when a trans athlete wants to compete in women’s sports.

Pete when it comes to his own career options:

Buttigieg reportedly added that he believes in “giving Americans more credit” in how they make voting decisions.

So which one is it? Do we play into the both-sides centrism BS and throw queer people under the bus when it’s electorally expedient or do we stand up for decency and human rights for all even if it might be a bit inconvenient?

And I thought it was about morphisms and burritos. The more you know…

Python has OOP but basically no ergonomic support for FP? It doesn’t even support tail recursion or currying, lambdas are very limited and there is no nice way to compose functions. Most of the python ecosystem heavily relies on OOP and in many cases global state. Not hating on python but even compared to other mixed paradigm languages like javascript it’s on the less-functional side of things.

Rust certainly is an interesting language and very worth learning but, as you already pointed out, can hardly qualify as functional. It has some functional features and a rich type system for sure, but the way you solve problems in rust is mostly just imperatively and very different from the “FP-way” imo. If OP wants to get into FP specifically, I’d suggest picking a different language first.

On another note: Not quite sure why you’re saying OCaml ist hard to install, since the setup has been incredibly easy for me. Maybe the process has changed lately (they’ve been working on improving the tooling with opam and dune) but you can just follow the official installation instructions under https://ocaml.org/install and get it running in like 5 mins. If that doesn’t work, there’s always wsl.

Personally I’d suggest OCaml, as it’s a statically typed, expressive and pragmatic language with a decently sized and mature ecosystem. For learning resources there’s the wonderful Cornell book. Elixir is another hot contender and a pleasure to work with, as others have already pointed out. Pick Haskell if you’re interested in getting freaky later on and have built some foundational knowledge (personally I enjoyed the haskell mooc but there are other great resources like learn you a haskell for great good too).

Don’t talk to the police. Ever. There is literally no benefit to you, even if you’re completely innocent, only tell the truth without having a single slip up due to nerves, the policemen do not mix anything up about the questions and you can present an alibi for proving your innocence. There are no circumstances under which talking to the police can help you in any meaningful way. There are however multiple ways in which a completely innocent person can maneouver themselves into deep shit by talking to the police. So, as the video puts it, shut the fuck up!

I approve of this great Bad meme!

I have not bought a single blåhaj from Ikea but I have hand-sewn and gifted away multiple ones, since they are a fun piece of queer culture and some of my friends love them.

You’d be surprised how much of pop-culture has historically been shaped by advertisement and marketing campaigns. Feel free to completely boycott these trends, be aware however that this level of ideological purism is at best ineffectual, and at worst highly isolating.

I for one like having fun at times and it has not changed my opinion on the necessity of abolishing capitalism in the slightest. I’m sorry for your cynicism.

You can apply this argument to basically any non “piss poor hobby artist makes this in freetime” piece of culture.

Of course blåhaj is a commodity produced by a large corporation. And almost any sufficieny large corporation will employ anti-union tactics. This is not surprising at all since it’s a necessity for corporations to act like this under capitalism.

I still like blåhaj because it brings some of my friends joy. That’s all.

Blåhaj has transcended its status as a commodity produced by an evil megacorp

This is how cobol was created
