Seriously impressed by non-conformist developers switching from the sad Apple monopoly lock-in to the more open alternatives from Google and Microsoft

No, I do not understand (unless you’re suggesting those non-voters act irrationally because of a mental health problem). Rationally, I would understand trying to change the system by not participating when both options are equally bad, as usual, but they very clearly are not.

The point of the article is that trying to protest it by not participating, especially in a situation like these, is just a sure way of things making worse for yourself. It doesn’t improve anything, or prove a point, or benefit anyone in any way.

I was there, too, and you’re completely missing the point, Steven. I’m glad those times are gone. Don’t use “we” as if you speak for anybody.

Not sure what you’re trying to say. That the (stupid, crazy and undemocratic) two-party system doesn’t apply to some US citizens right now?

I’m so sad I don’t live in the US, where live, televised political debate is a crucial part of the electoral process, allowing voters to make an educated decision after each side gets an equal chance to present their arguments

Ich habe den Vogel direkt geblockt und empfehle das Gleiche. Wäre Dir auf jeden Fall dankbar, wenn Du mich aus den Replies rausnimmst.

I seem to recall covariant return types being introduced to C++ sometime in the late 90s, but I don’t recall the exact sequence of when I learned about what :)
Don’t know about category theory, but surely the co/contravariance connection has been known even longer than that? I seem to recall the first time I read about the terms they were explained using LSP

I think the best *companies* enable their programmers to be 10 times as productive as the average company, and maybe a 100 times as a really bad one
