Depends on how well it’s executed. It would be all too easy for a device like this to end up fatally flawed to the point where it’s not actually useful. (I’ve seen some real stinkers that looked great in the crowdfunding campaign.)

He and Pooh Jinping would see eye to eye

Would this not be a crime against Hong Kong’s draconian new national-security laws nowadays?

You’d probably get prosecuted for terrorism if you tried that, just on vibes

In the words of the Bolshevik who bayoneted the Romanov children, “nits grow up to be lice”

IIRC, it wasn’t a case of skinhead being coopted by neo-Nazis, but the word being used to refer to two distinct subcultures with no members in common: the two-tone/hard-Mod subculture (a racially mixed working-class subculture associated with ska, reggae and soul music) and a new subculture of far-right football hooligans who appropriated the uniform of two-tone (namely shaved heads, Fred Perry polo shirts and braces) and its nickname.

Not everything; some things are about racism. Suburban sprawl and car dependency owe a lot to white flight to suburbs with racial covenants and racist urban-planning decisions like Robert Moses making overpasses on roads to suburbs too low for buses to keep the minorities contained in the ghettos. The idea of retreating to defensible space (in a suburban cul-de-sac or a personal car) also raises the question of who one is expecting to defend against.

At least we’ll all suffer in solidarity with the Palestinians. Surely that counts for something?

On one hand, yes. On the other hand, this has largely been used in the deep south to ensure that people who openly lynched black people evaded conviction.

Yes

Unless they choose a life of crime, in which case, video evidence against them is inadmissible.

The thing is that Electron apps don’t even look good compared to native apps. They’re slow and janky and, once you’ve seen a few of them, your impression is “the company didn’t care enough to build a native app”. In that sense, an Electron webpage in an app has the same connotations as AI artwork on a Substack essay: it looks slick if you’ve never seen one before, but cheap and shoddy if you know what it is.

Stories are, though, which is why recipes have long, rambling introductions about the author’s grandmother’s childhood in a small village in Sicily or whatever.

IIRC, the majority of Haskell enthusiasts’ day jobs are coding in Java, and things like monad transformer stacks and applicatives are things they daydream about as a coping mechanism against the tedium. Which is probably why Scala exists.
