I think porting your program to Haskell would make all of your bugs logic errors, rather than only most of them.

Are they? IME most bugs are type errors.

Or rather, IME most bugs are logic errors only because I've excluded the possibility of type errors by using a sophisticated type system.

What makes you think you're in a position to qualify the morality of the deaths of my not-so-distant relatives at the hands of Nazi invaders?

I'm not arguing against you, and I think your argument here actually supports mine. My point is epistemological: that the DEI ideological framework is structured in a way that makes it unfalsifiable. I am not saying that men being statistically underrepresented in certain jobs necessarily implies discrimination against them.

Queer Theory is a philosophy (or theoretical framework) about language (as with all postmodernist philosophy). It's not a "study", and while queer people can be a subject, it's not its primary object.

Furthermore, a book written by two liberal scholars is not a "far right nonsense book".

Why do people insist on taking hard positions on topics despite never having read the material?

This is quite the claim, and I would understand anyone taking deep offence by it.

Can you substantiate it?

You'd have to read some of Lyotard's or Foucault's work to understand the roots of this. The idea is that all knowledge is shaped by language, power structures, and cultural context. This is where we get the idea that there isn't "the truth", but that instead there is "my truth".

> Human rights is about equality, and DEI achieves that through pulling up the mistreated to reach parity, no?

Equality is an overloaded term here, which is also a device prevalent in this ideology. Similarly, the term "normal" is taken to mean either statistically common or morally acceptable or both, depending on the argument and who's making it. That's where we get the idea of the problematics of heteronormativity, for example.

It is of course debatable (and has been hotly debated for decades) what qualifies as "mistreated", and to what quantity. As is what counts as "pulling up" versus paradoxical discrimination.

I'm sorry, but I can't boil down decades of philosophy into a neat paragraph for you.

So, no, not really.

For more on this, I recommend Cynical Theories[0] by Helen Pluckrose and James Lindsay.

Why, despite the facts being as clear as crystal, do you insist on lying?

The US is not currently bankrolling Ukraine in the way it was in 2022–2024. Under Donald Trump, no new large aid packages have been approved, and support now largely consists of delivering previously authorised funds and equipment.

For me personally (and also for everyone at work), I'm doing all package management with Nix. I'm happy with the setup. There is a learning curve with Nix, but as you can imagine this has shortened now with AI.

For context, I've been writing Haskell for quite a long time and I'm maintaining a few packages like Yesod.
