Ever since AI got big everybody always uses 100 million lists in their writing. It gets really annoying to read.

Here is why lists are bad for reading:

1. They break the flow.

I hate it. Cool blog article though.


I think it's more that justice means something different to different people. I think that vengeance can be justice.


Why do you think that?

Lets say a man goes to prison for 25 years for murder, and upon release the victim's husband kills him. The victim's husband gets revenge, but is it just?

Justice shouldn't be subjective, imo.


I of course think that example is not just. However I think there a certain crimes like mass murder are beyond being forgivable. It's where I think the only just thing is vengance.

Also justice can't be objective. Put n people in a room and ask them what is just and you'll get n different answers.


There’s actually no suitable punishment for mass murderers/war criminals/terrorists at all. There’s no righting the wrongs they have caused. There’s no rehabilitation. There’s no real punishment.

When push comes to shove, how many of them even expect to get out alive? Is death penalty really just in such a situation?

The US just puts them in ADX Florence where they are tortured mentally (complete isolation, no end in sight, basically no human interaction at all). Which is probably what they deserve, but it’s still torture.


I am not talking about death penalty. I honestly think death penalty is too lenient. After you're dead there is no more punishment. And like you said:

> how many of them even expect to get out alive?

What I would want is suffering for a long time. Now is that justice or vengance? I say it's both.

> Which is probably what they deserve

Is that not what you would describe as just?


Justice, by definition, necessitates objectivity.

Why wouldn't the just use the params [0] keyword for stuff like this?

[0]: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-refe...


Because this is an OLE 2.0 library for Office automation.


My humble guess is that it didn't exist when this was designed?


This looks like the interop libraries auto generated off the Office OLE Automation interfaces. SafeArrays should have existed back then. I imagine this was used instead for perceived developer friendliness vs forcing developers to box up and create a Safe Array to marshall in (more boilerplate).


Don't think it works in this case. In general why there are so many overloads in C# with parameters like arg0, arg1, arg2 and so on is because of the poor performance of the params solution for value types.


What the hell is the ad even supposed to mean


It really doesn't sit right with me that payment processors can emit such a huge pressure that OnlyFans is willing to loose 99.9% of their userbase becuase they just have no other choice.


Its almost as if Yarvin had a point when he described The Cathedral.


I mean people thought the same thing about Windows 10 and to this day it's a mix of 7 different designs or so.
