But a picture is worth a thousand words. Even just text with effective formatting and layout is a lot more efficient than speech for a huge variety is tasks.

That letting capitalists gatekeep access to essential resources is a terrible idea.

People going in expecting a fun adventure with Willy Wonka and having a horrible time because it was created by an asshole trying to teach them a lesson...sounds like the plot of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

It wasn't bad at the time relative to what else was around.

And I don't even know what you're getting at by saying "all" successor languages copied it. Are you referring to how many languages use curly braces as block delimiters? Because that's not what's wrong with C.

Rust is the main one for the kind of code that's typically written in C++. Most memory-safe languages make big compromises on performance, but Rust code tends to run about as fast as comparable C++ code.

I'll say it. C is a bad language. There was a time when it needed needed to exist and using it was a smart choice, but it has outlived its usefulness for anything but legacy code and niche use cases like FFI. It's in essentially the same category as Cobol.

Your take is objectively false. This issue has been studied and the conclusion every time is that real programmers make memory-related mistakes all the time. Even if there are a few superhuman programmers who never get tired, have a bad day, or misunderstand an API, firing the 99.99% of programmers who aren't superheroes isn't a realistic solution to anything.

As already mentioned, DisplayPort exists. The problem is adoption. Even getting DisplayPort adopted as the de facto standard for PC monitors hasn't done anything to get it built into TVs.

Most AI-generated data in the wild won't have labels because there's no incentive to label it, and in a lot of cases there are incentives to not label it.

I'm not telling them that, but I may as well considering how they react to me. And while I make a point of not being around conservatives IRL, I know people who've been around them and they report similar behavior to what I've seen online.

Also, and this is the big one: I know what they vote for. I don't give a flying fuck if they act polite and reasonable to my face if they then go and vote to turn my country into a fascist hellscape. I have exactly zero sympathy for people who support taking away my rights and making people I care about unsafe.

I'm talking about the vast majority of the ones I've interacted with.

Some of them, I assume, are good people.

The ones that want to talk about politics mostly just call someone like me a libtard or some equally dismissive term. Having actual conversations with them is impossible.
