This is fundamentaly a liberal conception of the world, that the solution to everything is to just have the right people in charge. The constant regeneration of capitalism is not born out of some individuals conscious will. It is ideological, structural, etc.

Conceptually you’ve jettisoned the very idea of class struggle, you’ve interalized defeat to such a degree that revolution is preemptively liquidated, and in its place put forward the same blathe utopianism that has been repudiated for hundreds of years. I will give you things though, you are correct to not tail this or that power, but by no means are you a Communist.

To think that millions of people of this world bled, toiled, and dedicated their lives under the sky of a Communist horizon, in the name of revolution, could be swept away in just a few sentences in an internet comment is not just a horror of its inadequacy to capture the experience of the world proletarian revolutions of the past, but it is pure arrogance!!

That’s why I always shoot first. If ur a motorist its on sight lil bro

Hmm now where have I heard that one before? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Furrw0VDpWM&t=0

No but everyone keeps talking about it so I’ll just nod my head and say yes.

Oh FFS there is nothing magical about COBOL like its some kind of sword in the stone which only a chosen few can draw. COBOL is simple(-ish), COBOL is verbose. That’s why there is so much of it.

The reason you don’t see new developers flocking to these mythical high-paying COBOL jobs is its not about the language, but rather about maintaining these gianourmous, mission-critical applications that are basically black boxes due to the loss of institutional knowledge. Very high risk with almost no tangible, immediate reward–so don’t touch it. Not something you can just throw a new developer at and hope for the best, the only person who knew this stuff was some guy named “John”, and he retired 15 years ago! Etc, etc.

Also this is IBM were talking about, so purely buzzword-driven development. IBM isn’t exactly known for pushing the envelope recently. Plus transpilers have existed as a concept since… Forever basically? Doubt anything more will come from this other than upselling existing IBM contracts who are already replacing COBOL.

Right, its nearly impossible to talk about changes in society as a wholly quantitative thing. Nominative identities are ‘fuzzy’, they shift, are created by peoples, and create peoples.

Nevermind the unsubstantiated claim that there are fewer people with sexist beliefs today than in the past–what we can say, and indeed what really gets to heart of the matter of the interplay of forces in society, is that an identity, or “global person” has emerged–first as descriptive and then as something consciously taken on–set apart from the rest of society in an antagonistic relationship that as its entire foundation is predicated on sexiat beleif.

IDK there is a bunch more that needs to be said. Lot to unpack in that original comment…

No it is not, plus vscode is something entirely different. Really i am specifically talking about the Visual Studio debugger compared to FOSS debuggers.

Honestly? Visual Studio. Like I am an Emacs user through and through. When properly setup with LSP, ccls, etc. it offers a better editing experience, and when it works its similar to, if not better than VS–even on huge codebases. But I would rather go live in a dumpster than have to use GDB over the VS debugger again. Its so slow, its a nightmare to use with multithreaded code, it just isnt capable of handling a large, GUI driven application.

Maybe there is some GDB config guidebook that I’m missing, but it better be something more than ‘lmao just write a python script to pretty-print std::vector’.
