  • I mean A could sell apples and buy cherries from C and then sell the cherries to B and buy their beans. That would make a zero sum with both countries. Sure it results in the same end result but with more shiping cost. I think the problem is that many people don’t understand, that a deficit in trade is nothing negative, you are not losing money as a country because you are still getting products.

    Nobody complains, that we (as people) have a trade deficit with supermarkets, why don’t they employ us at least for the money we pay in groceries!?

    That’s fun. I was a driver kid and didn’t know what I was missing till I moved to a place with good bike/public transport infrastructure.

    I suspect people who claim that they prefer to have a car never experienced how much better life quality is in a place without cars where cycling is convenient.

    (The noise pollution alone is worth it!)





  • Create a python file that only contains this function

    def increase_by_one(i):
        # this increments i
        f=open(__file__).read()
        st=f[28:-92][0]
        return i+f.count(st)
    

    Then you can import this function and it will raise an index error if the comment is not there, coming close to the most literal way

    Any code which does not contain the comment “this increments i:” will produce a compile error and fail to run.

    could be interpreted in python

    Well it kinda is. Pronouns are like names, in the sense that we use them to describe to whom we refer.

    They are a non injective function on the name set.

    The restriction you would like to make is that the function is not multivalued. But it is. As an example, Andrea is a name that is usually associated with a female person, but it is a normal name for male people in Italy.

    We allowed people to be named whatever they wanted (or their parents wanted), so why not also let them choose whatever pronoun they prefer?

    If you’re with Dan (they/them) and Dan (he/him), you would also have the problem when saying

    “I was with Dan and Dan the other day. Dan hadn’t brought the poster, so Dan went back to the car to get it.”

    So to avoud confusion, people should not be allowed to be called Dan anymore. In fact everyone gets a UUID so there is no more confusion.



  • Calling people what they ask to be called just doesn’t have to be this difficult.

    We in fact do it all the time. It’s just people have gotten used to using names. But it’s not like you were born with a Dave chromosome. Your parents decided to call you Dave, so in the end it’s also just a made up name/sound.






  • Die Industrie sieht das bestimmt so.

    Aber Software Entwickler schreiben ja nicht nur Code, sondern sie übersetzen das was die Kunden sagen zu wollen zu dem was die Kunden wirklich wollen.

    Mein letztes Beispiel für warum klicken nicht funktioniert.

    Ich arbeite gerade mit einem Kunde, der sich seine Website mit Wordpress zusammen geklickt hat: A) das kann nicht ansatzweise was ein custom build System könnte B) es ist viel komplexer, weil man sich alles zusammen hacken muss um leichte Probleme zu lösen C) es ist teurer, sie zahlen mehrere hundert Euro für hosting. Mein ganzer Kram lebt auf einer 1U colloc für unter 100€/Jahr D) security! Erste Sache die ich gemerkt habe war, dass die Logs öffentlich waren. Man sah aber zum Glück nur Name, Email, Geburtstage, Wohnadresse…
