    But the fact remains: if you want to help the poorest members of society, you can only do that by increasing economic inequality.
    And for what reason would that be the case?

    You get your pick: wealth for all or equality for all. You cannot have wealth and equality for all: it's a logical impossibility.
    You should reread what "logic" actually means.

    And you should perhaps check how the world outside of the us works ... it is quite easy to have comfortable wealth and equality ... e.g. check Europe, especially Scandinavia, or Japan, Korea, and now emerging China.

    he is simply reacting to tariffs in other countries.
    The EU has tariffs on US products in the range of 6%, the US has tariffs on EU products in the range of 4% ... I don't see a big difference.

    Jumping up and putting tariffs in the range of 20% on selected EU products makes no sense IMHO.

    You said "Assembler is "modularized" just like C." You just convincingly answered the question "why should anybody ever let you anywhere near their code?"

    No he did not say that, I did .... and you seem to be a complete idiot.

    What has a switch statement to do with a "module system"?

    A switch statement is a 3 or 4 liner, plus the "cases" you want to handle, depending if you use a table with target addresses or a binary search for the target addresses ...

    Assembler is "modularized" just like C.
    You have *.asm files, assemble them to *.o files, but them into *.a files if you need, and link them.

    You can remove warts with a scalpel. So that's surgery, then.
    If you use a scalpel, then yes. If you use a laser, no.

    No idea about this: P.S. What's the German definition got to do with you? You clearly aren't one, or you'd have written it properly like I did. What is that supposed to mean?

    In the german translation, surgery is something one does with a scalpel ... cutting up the body, removing parts, stitching you back together.

    Something like HyperCard on mobile devices (to work directly on the device, not to program it on a desktop and then deploy it) would still be super useful. I used NovoCard on iOS for a while, awesome.

    I would like to haveva HyperCard with groovy as scripting languahe, if it could bebeasily deployed to iOS and Android I would write it myself even.

    Another problem is that programmers tend to consider themselves knowing everything already, is there a new trend, like Agile or DevOps or a new language they think it is not worth reading the simplest stuff about it. I guess somehow many programmers are scared their Weltbild will break down by learning something new.

    It is not that easy, but it is that simple.
    Many programmers simply can not do that. You won't believe how bad programmers program, they basically always have an overcomplex solution to a simple straight forward approach.
    Issues have many reasons, bad testing, bad requirements, can not be bothered to fix anything, because the new features seem more important ... or old programmers get replaced by newbies ...

  20. Stop playing the idiot.
    Stalin killed a lot of people.
    He had done the exact same thing under any other label, be it Royalist, Democrate, Rebpublican etc.
    Why you pretent the label of his regime is the matter, when actually his insanity and paranoia is the culprit, is beyond me.

    Of course there where millions of death due to starvation, and: what has that again to do with the label "communism"? The exact same thing had happened if non communist regime had won the revolution.

    Can't be so haed to grasp.
