Thanks for informing me, but I still kinda wonder why someone would use it today?

I was able to pick it up extremely quickly. Just basically looking at existing projects. Tbh, I don’t even know how I learned it.

I have very minimal pain in Go

Honestly, I’ve never used jQuery despite writing JS for over 10 years. Just because I hate the reliance on massive nebulous packages so many have. Especially when I looked into it years ago, so much of what I saw jQuery being used for was stuff that was extremely easy to implement yourself. How has it changed?

So there is no productivity loss/learning curve unless you want there to be.

It’s not significant but an extra build step can be annoying

We use TS on the back end to leverage our teams existing skill set and libraries we’ve built up.

I know you said this, but I’m still curious why not just something like Go, which I was able to basically learn in 3 days- just coming from a mostly JS and C++ background

Most FOSS advocates understand there is a line where your rights end and mine begin–it’s why we have the GPL instead of all using MIT or LGPL license. Your right to acess the source is sacred.

I’ve never seen a FOSS advocate argue that all software should legally be required to be FOSS. Would that include server-side code? Instead they oppose IP protection, so that anyone could simply crack your software and freely distribute it.

Gun advocates don’t give a shit. Your death means nothing to their desire to roleplay mad max or zombie apocalypse or cowboy or whatever.

“Most FOSS gun advocates understand there is a line where your rights end and mine begin”

Because, you know, owning a gun doesn’t infringe on anyone’s rights.

Cheaper places are cheaper for a reason.

Yes, and I agree I prefer higher density, but ultimately some people living in less desirable areas is more reasonable than trying to build ever taller skyscrapers in city centers- in a country with massive amounts of empty land.

Worse health care.

It depends, there are plenty of cheaper cities with very good healthcare, I grew up in Louisville, KY, spent a lot of time in LA, CA, and now live in Prague, CZ. Louisville has had the cheapest rent/purchase price and had by far the best quality healthcare(at least that I and my family received) out of anywhere I’ve lived.

Worse education for your kids.

This is valid in some cases, and there are plenty of valid reasons to desire living somewhere else more, that doesn’t mean there aren’t costs to that. Furthermore, there are plenty of expensive places with terrible school systems, plenty of cheap places with passable school systems, but more importantly traditional schools systems in general suck. Kids now days have access to the internet, that combined with parents who encourage curiosity and creativity will be much more important to them learning than the school system they go to.

For instance St Louis has a median home price of 207k but they also have 10x the murder rate of Seattle a worse jobs outlook.

That is cherrypicking, compare Chicago to Fargo, ND. Or a less distant example, Seattle to Spokane.

You’ll make less money etc.

Assuming you don’t work remotely, but you’ll also spend less.

Who in their right mind would want to live in a red state?

Not about being red or blue, its about not being a HCOL megalopolis. You can also move to Maine.

Well, a lot of FOSS advocates are also cyberanarchists. I personally am leaning somewhere towards that, where while I oppose viruses, I don’t know if I agree writing one should be illegal.

Imagine missing your turn in the route you memorized and having to pull over for 10 minutes to try to find the way back- or I assume that’s what happened, when I was a kid my mom just went to the library to print Google maps directions. And they were almost always wrong

They said “several black co-workers of mine that support Trump.”

Nowhere does that say a bunch, nor does it say all their black co-workers support Trump.

And frankly, I question your claims too.

Why?

The person works in construction, they probably have a lot of coworkers, construction workers are probably somewhat more likely to support Trump. No, I don’t think that’s very unlikely.

Given enough chances something unlikely will happen. That’s on top of aggravating factors, I’ve met quite a few right wing black people. I’ve also met quite a few left wing black people. You know, because I’ve met a fair few people in general.

Even the possibility of running into multiple right-wing black people at once in normal circumstances

What??? People meet a lot of people in their lives.

A ton of urban areas have much options cheaper than the west coast though, mobile homes, townhouses, duplexes, etc. $400,000 is much more than a very modest house. For example I would consider a shotgun house very modest, and short of very high income areas they’re usually much less than $400,000

Yes, the limits are defined in the rules, which we try to enforce to the best of our abilities.

Why not?

There are plenty of pro-gun people outside the US too

Mass murder is extremely rare in general

What? How can you know it’s vanishingly unlikely then in the same breath say you can’t know for every region?
