The article suggests that this is coming to Scala, and I'm looking forward to being a guinea pig.

Using such techniques requires an upfront investment of learning how this works, but once that mountain is climbed, programming becomes easier, faster and less error prone in many cases.

Trouble with ILP is that it doesn't work on GPUs (as of April 2024) and on CPUs synthesis and other forms of learning are hopeless. That may change in the future ...

What is "my own party" and what is "my own country", are you not making unwarranted assumptions?

Absent strong social pressure, humans tend to start having sex when they reach puberty. I doubt that there is even one human on the planet who does not have ancestors that had children at 13. Why is this relevant?

What is not acceptable, as you know very well, is genital mutilation of children without consent (children cannot give consent) that renders them permantently infertile and dysorgasmic. Stop defending child abuse!

   "Michel Foucault argued that it is intolerable 
    to assume that a child is incapable of giving 
    meaningful consent to sexual relations."

Aside, your user name here is after an organisation founded by one of world history's worst mass murderers. Can I suggest to show empathy with his victims, and not use this term? Using it trivialises his crimes.

(2) the purpose of modern genital mutilation for the mutilatee is to facilitate sex fraud, and for the mutilator is, one imagines, money.

(3) if believe someone at that age is mature enough to understand the implications of modern genital mutilation, you will have to face the question why you trivialise it. Your writing here may, directly or indirectly lead to more modern genital mutilation. Speech has consequences.

In what sense can children consent to genital mutilation, since they do not understand at all human sexuality and the human sex drive, since the have had absolutely no experience with it? Virtually all other forms of body modification are also not legal for children.

Did you actually read the french (and german green) petitions?

Here is the letter from the well-known intellectuals:

https://www.dolto.fr/fd-code-penal-crp.html

They were not just about making the age of consent equal for gay and hetero sex. They were also pushing for lowering and abolishing the age of consent altogether. You can see this as a 'submarine'. From the wikipedia article:

   "Michel Foucault argued that it is intolerable 
    to assume that a child is incapable of giving 
    meaningful consent to sexual relations."

I think one has to experience it oneself though, my friends and relatives who never left the suburbs pity me for my restricted living space, and don't believe me when I tell them live is easier with less baggage and it a walkable center of town. I suspect they think I'm rationalising an inability to afford a suburban McMansion.

This is the kind of question that benefits from a probabilistic analysis: does ethnic homogeneity, on average, help or hinder building and maintaining a high trust society?

Many conflicts in world history have an ethnic dimension. Many substantial social cleavages, even if they are not ethnically based, over time may evolve an ethnic dimension. For example some religions have an ethnic dimension, most religions require members to marry only within the own religion etc. Moreover, people are more likely to procreate with people they spend a lot of time with. So even linguistic differences can lead to ethnicisation, since it's easier to socialise with people you can easily communicate with.

Yes, "should". But it is unclear that the EU has the organisational capability to pull it off. The last few decades have seen the EU loosing it's technological edge in more and more fields, the more the EU makes (funding) decisions in science and technology. Whether there is causation or just correlation is an interesting question, see [1] for a recent discussion.

> planned obsolescence of compilers

Which planned obsolescence? Intel is backwards compatible at least to the x86 from 1978 (?). And I think even back to the 8080. IBM mainframes might still be System/360 (1964) compatible, although I have not checked recently.

Given the RISC-V extensions and profiles tend to proliferate, and indeed that there is a competitive advantage in pushing your own extension, there is an often articulated fear that the RISC-V might fragment faster than those controlled by a single vendor.
