Why do you not think the other links are setting their prices in this way?

I would've been put off had I been a fan of the original, but I had never seen it. To be honest from what I hear, the original was so cheesy that there'd be a lot to be annoyed by with the remake, but we got something excellent.

You think people are only suggesting it in cases where it's appropriate?

Understand that things aren't perfect, and complaining is cathartic. You don't need to fix everything that people complain about - if someone complains about their car, do you need a "solution"? I complain about my cat's annoying behaviours all the time, but there's no acceptable way to fix them.

Well people say it does. Of course it's trivial to adapt such algorithms to include misspellings

Unburdened ebook stores that actually stock "everything" is a necessary component here.

Agreed. And a lot of it is working around limitations of whatever version of Java was common at the time.

"Visitor pattern" is better implemented as an implementation of Iterator or whatever your language calls that. Everyone knows what "for x in thing" means, but wtf does it mean to "visit" something?

I think Ousterhout's observation that deep interfaces are more useful is a very astute one. There is a kind of programmer who finds it satisfying to write lots of boilerplate but it doesn't make the code maintainable.

Short functions can be good because you then name each short section of code, but a comment can offer that more flexibly.

An ai model can't "sabotage attempts to shut it down" if it's not plugged into mechanisms that can actually do that.

"gamer culture" was not adopted by the mainstream; video games were. The culture of mainstream gamers remains distinct from the old culture

What makes you say this is going into her profit? There's a lot of competition in coffee shops, so if what you say it's true there'll be someone undercutting her.

It's more likely that besides beans her other costs have gone up, too.

It also doesn't make sense to maintain absolute profits instead of a percentage margin. Low margin means that you aren't hedging as much against risk (if your stock is destroyed in a fire you have to pay the cost of the stock, which has increased) and aren't paying yourself any more in the face of the rising costs YOU are paying every day.

This idea does not adequately address reality.
