OOP is one of, if not the most popular programming paradigm. Surely understanding it at a theoretical level isn't useless. It would be the first step to understanding its benefits and trade offs.

That is a big over simplification of how prices work. As another commenter pointed out, lack competition and a high barrier to entry can cause elevated prices even in the absence of scarcity. Price controls are found all over the economy and do not have the effects you allude to.

You have to be some kind of moron

idiots and delusional fools

Do not respond to my comments again with personal attacks. If you do this again, or respond before fixing this comment, I will unfortunately have to report you to the community moderators.

Until you fix it, your comment is not worth addressing.

More in the news: government official complains about matters within their jurisdiction.

countries that are not that particular stable, are more or less dictatorships and most certainly have designs on nuclear weapons.

So... The west and allies?!

Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Syria, hell even Jordon might.

Oh man! We really can't be having these uncivilized countries having nuclear power. They might do the same horrors we commit! Could you imagine? Well it'll probably be hard to match us, but still!

Is dumb to think they won't

Right? If the west does it, why wouldn't they?

Yaml is already pretty popular, so I don't think 927 applies here. It's actually more common in newer projects than toml.

Which begs the question, should I go with the flow or is there good reason to go with toml?

Oh no! Muslims having nuclear power? What if they use it to.... * gulp * ... Do like us and get similar weapons to the ones we've had and used to massacre people? 😰

Why would one pick toml over yaml?

You sound exactly like a Trump supporter talking about "the establishment"

helping the poor actually harms the poor

That's supposed to be a reasonable argument worth entertaining? By that logic, trump violated the Constitution to protect! Do we have to accept that as a reasonable position too, even if we don't agree?

You literally just proved it is exactly the gotcha you think it is lol

What definition of fascism is it that prevents fascists from running for president?

What immigration problem?

Oh, you're a victim of a government we deem undemocratic? We'll further suffocate you economically then!

I am very interested in Nix. The only thing making me hesitate is that it is a bit opinionated. There's a "Nix way of doing things" rather than a general automation framework than can do anything. Am I wrong in thinking this as an outside observer?

I did not intend to make an exhaustive list of everything package managers do, but validation is a good thing to point out. It further proves that we are dealing with generic automation frameworks.

And just to clarify, I did not mean that something like ansible in its current form is suitable.

Why has it caused you regret?

Nothing wrong with a DSL inherently, it is just harder to get right. Maybe Nix does (judging by its popularity. I haven't used it enough to judge), but in general, package manager DSLs never end up better except for a subset of cases.

What are those 16 standards? I haven't heard of this before but it sounds interesting!

Although this XKCD is funny, I do not agree with its premise. The presence of many competing standards is usually due to some underlying issue or due to a good reason.

For example, the competing standards in package management is more due to distributions reinventing their own implementation of doing almost the same thing. Debian and Fedora, for example, aren't doing anything drastically different. Moreover, they don't make it easy to use outside of their systems.

I will definitely make that an option, but I would still want it to be invokable via CLI only if the user chooses. It makes scripting easier sometimes.

That is certainly one solution and I plan to make that an option. But I'd still like to make the program invokable without having to write a file.
