Thank you for sharing that story.

Valve introduced Steam and it's security by Gabe announcing his login and password to the world. You couldn't get in though precisely because of the 2FA.

This was a LONG time ago when things being secure on the internet wasn't a given to most people.

I think the article was easy enough to pass by as I agree it didn't make GOOD arguments specifically in building production systems. I also give the author some slack because that article would be quite heavy to address the entire development cycle up to production systems.

From my reading the article makes no claim that Haskell is the best language. The purpose as I read it is to explain why Haskell is their first choice while addressing an audience that has a passing knowledge of Haskell.

You being extremely hesitant to hire the services because of their technology stack is great and fine. There are many stacks and services I completely avoid in dealing with so I agree there.

"It'd be a nightmare to maintain after their contract" is something someone would likely say to any language that is not their preference.

I completely agree about your thought about emotions and the Spock-like emotional detachment and the importance of emotions in decision making and every day life.

I disagree that this is related to the original posted article about a company that has chosen as their first language Haskell. I do wonder how your responses would differ if they had chosen Elm originally and perhaps it is both you and I that should evaluate our emotions are why we even commented...

The article doesn't say they have exhausted all languages, just that it is their first choice. Not their only choice but first choice.

I have no horse in this race. Reading the posted article I have a hard time understanding why you posted this comment. The article has reasoned arguments related to software development. Your comment is pure emotion which seems to be your main claim against the article.

Yeah that could happen but why? The architectures are different. What benefit is there? Many Japanese companies actually treat North American Market as a secondary thought, Nintendo in a sense is one of them.

thank you so much for replying

$10 bil of money means Nintendo has all the money they need on hand to continue to develop for their markets or new markets so what impetus is there to be acquire or merge? Nintendo is not a very big company comparatively.

What do you use for your small server for forwarding bytes?

I don't see that you've really responded to what I've said beyond repeating the previous poster.

I'm not American, climate change is not an American problem it's a global one. It's completely out of the scope of the conversation to require me to explain how you are deficient in your understanding of the nuance of what was actually said by the Congresswoman.

The conversation of Climate Change, Global Warming, whatever has been going on long before AOC even ran for Congress so I really don't see the point you and the original poster I was responding to are actually making by invoking her as some boogie man.

Yes sure talking hyperbolic doesn't help and can turn people off. Ok agreed. Excellent points all aroud.

You were talking about Kids in your comment, Doomers I guess you said. So by serious people I mean not that.

"The world would end by 2030", like obviously there is no way this can be true. No matter what happens the world will not end in a biblical sense.

"People made predictions and were wrong in the past" is a great point.

Why should you believe you should act or that you can and do something about it? I don't know great question! I'm sure someone has explored the morality of avoiding the worst case scenario caused by human induced climate change.

I think the "Human extinction by 2030" is a confusion of what is being claimed by serious people.

If the current trend continues and nothing done by 2030 the repercussions will be so severe to the environment they threaten future organized human existence.

So basically we still have time to avoid the worst outcome, the loss of the ability for organized human existence. Not that we will all be dead by then.

Canadian Provinces also do the bulk of the spending compared federally with US States.

I have looked at the budget update before.

Taking your linked budget update the three highest expenditures being Health (which is not just wages) $20B, Education $8B, and Advanced Education $5B amount to $33 Billion.

How much would you have to reduce public sector wages as a percentage (note not all those expenses are wages) to cover the $8 Billion pre-covid deficit. Now how much would you have to do to cover the $24 Billion deficit? The budget update mentioned there is only an additional $3 Billion in post-covid recovery spending but somehow an additional $21 Billion in deficit? Seems like the deficit is coming from revenue collapse.

There is no doubt they will have to increase taxation or reduce spending. My point is that there is perhaps there is no longer any 'Alberta Advantage' allowing for the special taxation status of the province.

Saying the province is broke misses the point. Alberta has the lowest provincial tax rate in North America, has the lowest personal tax rate in Canada, and has no provincial sales tax. All of these because of a reliance on Oil and Gas royalties.

Calgary has a similar dynamic with over reliance on commercial real estate for major oil and gas companies.

Alberta is an outlier in how it finances public services. These are structural problems which won't be solved by public sector taking 5, 10, or even 20% reduction.

You should definitely check out a Vitamin D supplement for your daughter. Where I am from we have reduced sunlight during winter months and it is something all the pediatricians have recommended and asked if we are doing because of the lack of sunlight.
