Walter Bright is a bit of a dick as a maintainer too

Not a huge schock. But this imho also shows a bit of a problem with these kinds of projects and their ownership. Shit will go bad when the owners grow old and refuse to give up ownership. Walter is 65, you dont expect people to keep up with the cutting edge and wider needs of programmers

A libertarian who glamorizes the state as set up by old people in the past. The libertarian to reactionary funnel.

E:

HN: Since you believe in checks and balances, do you believe Trump should be disqualified for running for office, for using violence, intimidation and lies to attempt to change the results of the last election? As a principled libertarian I'm sure the peaceful transfer of power is at the height of your concerns.

WalterBright: I think I'll spare everyone from yet another Trump vs Harris debate.

Weichei!

I really hope Harris wins by a landslide just so all these weird nerds eat shit. If even just one goes "wow I really let myself get swept up into believing trump/musk was great by my echo chamber it would be worth it. But i doubt we will get such self awareness. The various betting prediction markets also then have been wrong (or manipulated) would also be fun.

Considering API access is now I think 40k a month + you pay for usage, prob good you never got into that. So the time doesn't feel wasted.

Not really though. Also, depends on which Magneto in a way. Some of the authors, for example Morrison, really didn't think so. “What people often forget, of course, is that Magneto, unlike the lovely Sir Ian McKellen, is a mad old terrorist twat,”

They have a lot of anti 4g/5g protestors there and they are pretty brutal.

Yeah think likely the core tech will not really improve, but they will add things around it and pretend it is radical innovation. Or more trenchcoats.

I just use a phone to talk to friends who are out of sight.
