Korean windows have a "special-emoji" keyboard that can be invoked by: 1. type a charactor 2. press 'hanja' key 3. (wild special character selection menu appears)
example: § (from 'ㅁ') / ㈜ (from 'ㅁ') / ㎖ (from 'ㄹ')
maybe the issue is we aren't using static analysis enough / don't have enough static analysis tools?
Are there stuff that kotlin's pattern-matching can't do?
as for other stuff (web-servers, what not), I don't think python can beat kotlin / typescript / etc
I'm surprised why scala couldn't solve it better than python -- I mean, scala's a compiled language, so it should have more wriggle-room...
and another trend on prog. langs: they're becoming more and more similar feature-wise (eg. pattern matching)
so put mail in boxes?
I mean, there's DHL, Fedex, and others...
And is 'loyalty towards a company' for having few shares a good thing? loyalty towards what ends? towards massive financial damage?
N+1 backup is N backup
1 backup is 0 backup
you iterated some famous people who are supportive of WSB, but... so what? Are they 'the wise ones of the stock market'? Are they financially supporting financial damage-takers?
They're just famous people, and that's all.
I agree that making a more level playing field is good. But that should be done by congress and law makers, not by burning gullible people's money.
the whole premise of the campaign is to 'fight against the injust hedge funds' (by burning your own money, that is)
there's a Korean investment channel that explains how people were gullible, and it's really funny to hear the fiascos...
...but not when I'm the gullible that is!
Though it'll be really difficult to make a law preventing this without hurting beneficial actions.
but this time, there's no 'fradulent' element, so I guess no.
If there were promises of earnings, it might have been.
1. buy gamestop stocks
2. call in SJWs to 'fight against the bad guys (hedge funds)' by buying gamestop stocks
- they relay this message to others
3. watch price go up, thanks to campaigns from SJWs
4. sell off when the price is right (feels highest)
5. watch the price go back to normal valuation - you can't expect this high price to continue forever.
6. watch people who were fooled by SJWs cry over their lifesavings
this is a financial crime, though the victims fell for a temporary 'feel good' moment... so I guess they 'paid' their lesson?
as for Robinhood, blocking 'buy' seems to be a protective measure that backfired too much. Robinhood's branding depends on how it can explain this well...
edit: I agree that it's not a 'financial crime' by law... I just mean it's a detestable and almost 'criminal' campaign.
Taiwan is 'what remains of the real China -- the Han dynasty and others'. Though the mainland 'Chinese' has deteriorated the branding 'china' so much that Taiwanese no longer wants to do anything with the word 'china'
I remember pooping a really long worm some years ago, and taking a anti-worm medicine...
for rust, it counts as a 'feature' because it provides safety guarantee, and they're opt-in (can use unsafe)
as for haskell, that immutability also provides guarantee of 'referential-transparency', which the users/libraries can use to their advantange.
But in python's case, you have to define the multi-line function *outside* the chaining, and 'forcing to name things' isn't always good (especially for constantly-changing code)
def hideEmail(user): return { ...user, email: user.hideEmail? '': user.email, }
users.map(hideEmail)
// later: def hideEmailAndPhone(user): return { ...user, email: user.hideEmail? '': user.email, phoneNo: ... // same stuff }
users.map(hideEmailAndPhone) ---
As for JS/TS, you can have 'named-callback-fn':
users.map(function hidePrivateFields(user) { ... })
and it's not difficult to come up with 'named-lambda-fn' standard
users.map(hidePrivateFields(user) => { ... })
