I like this term, "billionaire media", because right-wing media likes to use "mainstream media" as a slur to dismiss any other media source that disagrees with them. It's a term that shuts down thinking and gets people to automatically dismiss any claim from "mainstream media".

"Billionaire media" doesn't really work this way, because if Fox News starts criticizing "billionaire media", eventually some viewers are going to wake up and realize, "wait, isn't Fox News owned by a billionaire too?"

People, especially Republicans, love to talk about the "mainstream media". That term needs to die.

There is only "billionaire media" and "independent media".

You're billionaire media if your owned or funded by a billionaire; I don't care if you're only on YouTube, if you're getting hundreds of thousands of dollars from sponsors, you're part of the billionaire media.

If you're funded by a bunch of small donations or have no funding at all, then you are independent media.

Today my trust for billionaire media sank even lower.

When limiting is required, because many people are using the same network, limiting those who have already used the most seems fair.

Your comment might cause me to do something. You're responsible. I don't care what the legal definitions say.

If we don't care about legal definitions, then how do we know you didn't cause all this?

Fortran is still a good language for some purposes I think.

And I feel the same way, C++ tries to solve the problem of having too many features by adding more features.

To answer my own question: I believe it's a runtime error: https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/any/trait.Any.html#method.downcast

What if I specify the wrong type? let retrieved = storage.get::<SomeOtherType>();?

Is it a runtime error or a compile time error?

I'd rather believe it's a bunny than acknowledge snails that large exist.

Epic vs Google turned out a lot different than Epic vs Apple.

Also, Epic vs Google was decided by jury.

I abandoned poetry after it was unable to install a specific version of pytorch I was using.

In pip I would do something like pip3 install torch torchvision torchaudio --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cu118, but IIRC poetry didn't support the --index-url option.

I wouldn't consider Julia statically-typed; am I wrong?

The question mine as well be "what is your favorite compiled language?". There is a lot of overlap between the possible answers.
