- maybe i'm doing a No True Scotsman, but i can't see where the Left has ever been against the poors. I thought the the origin of the terms Left and Right was For Democracy (the poors have a voice), and For the King (the wealthies) from the French Revolution. How is 'wealthies vs poors' different from left vs right'?
- cobol is trivial to learn. the problem is that the core of old systems were written even before 'Structured Programming' and anything like reviewing and enforcing design standards. there is alot of 60 year old, currently running 'mission critical' cobol, some of it is inscrutable and unmaintainable, while some of it is so simple and elegant that it'd be a great way to teach a 10 year old about programming.
- i wish i could upvote this 100 times. like an cop walking into a bar full of criminals. any criminal that has to ask someone what to do won't last long.
plus they can actually be enemies. two guys in a beef about who owns a dog can chain up the dog and fight it out. the dog remains owned
- sorry for late comment, but the problem is clearer to me when considering it as resource control, rather than 'wealth'. Earning $60k gives you control of barely nothing. It would take 10's of millions of dollars just to have any effect on a small US city. It's a football field with 9995 people stuffed in an endzone and 5 people controlling the rest of the field.
- back then I chose prism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mozilla_Prism because the user wanted a local app and I only wanted to work with the most ubiquitous UI. was lightweight and wish it was still available
