I kept my Win7 install until like 2023 and it wasn’t security that drove me away but a huge amount of software no longer working on it.

They’re trying to normalize calling high-level programming a “programming paradigm.” Don’t let them.

I’m not super fond of dynamic typing either. I like untyped or uni-typed languages like ‘everything is an array’ (APL) or ‘everything is an integer’ (Forth, assembly).

I’m of the same opinion as Chuck Moore who once observed, “Strong typing merely creates errors so that they can be detected.” In my experience, the amount of complexity added by these systems is staggering. To such a degree that they cause more errors than they prevent. More types, more opportunities to use them incorrectly, after all.

I also prefer the ‘build the program while it’s running’ workflow, which is inhibited by static typing.

Jay Pritzker (governor of Illinois) seems like an okay dude.

• No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
• Static typing sucks.

Things have been getting worse my entire life regardless of who has been in charge. It gets worse more slowly under the dems, but it still gets worse.

Why is it too much to ask for things to get even a little better?

Ubuntu because it was the first distro (after Mint and PopOS) to boot on my eclectic hardware.

Dear wherever you’re from: there’s a 99% chance you live in a token democracy and you’re in denial about it.
