> the study of philosophy is to a significant degree concerned with a survey of the historic development of certain traditions of thought, and ideas.

Have you actually been exposed to any high-level contemporary philosophical research? While it is true that many philosophers do care about the history of ideas, this is quite often done in order to treat various philosophical questions systematically (for many philosophers, it's all about the questions, not about any 'philosophy' that needs to be studied). Besides, for many philosophers there is also some interest to integrate their work with the work of researchers in many other disciplines. If you work in philosophy of language, it would be ridiculous not to try to acquire some working knowledge of linguistics and cognitive science. If you work in epistemology (aka the theory of knowledge), you have to have some knowledge of cognitive science, game theory, computer science, psychology, evolutionary theory, and so on, just to know what other philosophers might be discussing.

GP's claim could be parsed in many different ways (what is 'understanding'? what is 'the structure of knowledge'?), and the suggestion that whatever that is is 'predominantly done' in computer science betrays some ignorance (or perhaps some willing obtuseness) about the alternatives. That you think that their claim was meaningless says more about you than about the claim. Why, instead of disagreeing with GP immediately, don't you ask them what they mean? You know, engage with a philosophical thought?

From https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24786278 on "authoritarian followers":

> "Authoritarian Aggression. When I say authoritarian followers are aggressive I don’t mean they stride into bars and start fights. First of all, high RWAs go to church enormously more often than they go to bars. Secondly, they usually avoid anything approaching a fair fight. Instead they aggress when they believe right and might are on their side. “Right” for them means, more than anything else, that their hostility is (in their minds) endorsed by established authority, or supports such authority. “Might” means they have a huge physical advantage over their target, in weaponry say, or in numbers, as in a lynch mob."

on a lighter note:

Generally languages like C++ are obviously much faster, but a lot of primitive stuff in languages like python is also just C calls and may be optimised to the point of being faster, because doing things in low level compiled languages often comes with its own tricks and problems.

I mean until they start enforcing the law on US companies operating in Europe then yes, EU advertising companies are going to lose out. But that's no different from any industry where one group of companies just violates the law whenever they feel like it. See Uber, Lyft, etc or the various companies that undercut their competitors by selling unsafe products, or the investment firms that beat the returns of their competitors by being pony schemes or by committing other fraud.

The reason EU agencies went bust was because they were competing against the likes of google and Facebook, because those companies could arguably target better (or were perceived to), and they could only do that because they were breaking the law.
Advertising agencies are doing well in Europe, thank you. Perhaps you mean companies that sell online profiles based on (ad) tracking?

I'd say Japanese is even more difficult than Chinese - at least with Chinese the majority of characters are predictably one syllable with the same pronunciation regardless of context; in Japanese you get entirely different pronunciations depending on the context, with a ton of exceptions.

That said the actual sounds are few and really easy to vocalize (if you ignore pitch accent). Adults do use kana for certain words and in between words, but it's true that you do need to know a lot of kanji to read things fluently.

> Consider horrors such as this. In the following statement what are foo and bar?

I don't understand your point. What's exactly the problem of knowing what are foo and bar? Even if you struggle with C++, any half decent IDE allows you to check the symbol and see what's being called with a single mouse click.

So what's exactly the problem?

> As another example consider implicit type conversions:

Again, what's exactly the problem? If you write down "c+3" it's your responsibility to know what you are doing and that "c+3" does make sense. And your example can only start to become a possibility if you explicitly and quite intentionally define your constructors to allow implicit type conversions, which is a direct violation of basic C++ best practices.

Adding to that, your convoluted example is no where near the mess that's javascript or Python and somehow people manage to not screw that up even without any type checking.

So why single out C++ although it does provide all sorts of guardrails and sanity checks?

> Many of these craziness

You failed to show any semblance of "craziness" in any of the convoluted examples you presented. In fact, you only showed you struggle with a language you barely have any experience with, let alone a grasp on rudimentary best practices such as requiring explicit constructors. Thus, why pin the blame on the language instead of where it really belongs: your lack of knowledge and experience using the language?

Jira is really a weird product;

I'm using it for ages now and i have not seen any real features being added in the last 10 years and fundamental issues have not been adressed.

The weirdest thing was their UI change a few years back where they thought it would be great to make core workflows 1 or 2 clicks further away than before.

You could turn that around and say that no F1 driver could design a car that would win in aero dominated F1 (mid 70s? onwards).

It doesn't matter, anyone who uses AWS services beyond those that are easily replaced by alternatives (say DigitalOcean, OpenStack, Azure, etc.) is setting themselves up for failure. At the very least they'll need a translation dictionary of Amazon's stupid naming scheme when they want to move.

They aren't slow and expensive - they specifically limit the amount of separation you need to do if you're a small business.

Having taught undergraduate physics (at one of the ivy leagues), that echos my experience. The math and memorization are quite simple. But, it is the exposure to the concepts that takes time and seeing them a year or two prior makes a big difference.

I ended up socializing a bit with the students during optional study sessions and it was usually the people that came from more disadvantaged schools that needed to be there in order to keep up with the class. Some of them also had to take a job (or two) to manage their bills during college which meant that they didn't always have the time to be at the study sessions.
> but a lot of primitive stuff in languages like python is also just C calls and may be optimised to the point of being faster

That assertion makes zero sense if we take into account that parallelization is one of the most basic performance techniques there is, and Python's GIL simply eliminates that option except for multi-process applications which then require serializing stuff back and forth.

Python is pretty much unparalleled as a glue language, and excels at putting together small exploratory scripts for data analysis and number crunching applications, but it makes no sense to present Python as a performant alternative to C++.

Data protection rules might prevent some current advertising and tracking practices from taking place but they are not impossible to implement. The principles are actually quite simple and boil down to "treat other people's data as an asset you hold in trust for them for a specific purpose".

I dont agree with so much advertising on the internet. And i dont mean the tracking, i mean the amount of it, it's just unacceptable that there need to be so many ads in a page in order for a website to survive. Tracking ... i m not sure why it should bother me, as long as there are legal protections so it doesnt cross lines that are considered unethical (such as pregnancy or sex orientation). GDPR says nothing about it, it just blanket bans it.

Google has only gotten mightier and greedier post-GDRP. So whatever defense is mounted on GDPR, the empirical fact is that it failed in its purpose.

It was a missed opportunity. It could truly hurt google if (a) it declared private information as private property that can be sold in exchange for services or if (b) it provisioned a "PI" tax that should be mandatorily paid back to users similar to the link tax required to be paid to newspapers.
