YOU and ME and HER or Doki Doki Literature Club moment.

Well, they didn't mention Misskey, *omas, Gotosocial, Lemmy...

The "sandwich problem" looks like just a lack of a traverse function to me.

It’s funny to see Marxist-Leninists decry talk about family abolition when Marx and Engels repeatedly state that the family would be abolished and replaced with new, expansive, liberatory kinship structures.

Right, as if no one read "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State".

Nothing in Git requires reversing hashes (which requires a lot of computing power), there's only forward computation (much cheaper), and there isn't any other method of establishing global consensus either (like proof of stake). This means no one needs an expensive rig to create git commits and fork whole repos, but on the other hand the hashes only prove the integrity of one set of commits; there is no global consensus on any repo and there has to be some sort of access control to prevent someone from force-pushing or replacing whole histories, central maintainers to decide what gets merged, etc. At best, to check if the upstream did something fishy, a mirror can be compared to another, or to a local copy.

edit: or perhaps, it wouldn't be technically incorrect to call a git repo a blockchain, as the distributed global consensus without human maintainers may not be part of the strict definition, but this seems pretty anachronistic and pointlessly confusing to me.

Most functional languages, like Haskell, ML family (SML, OCaml, F#). They're usually not using an enum keyword though.

It doesn't try to replace trust with computation, which is a crucial difference.

What are the acceptable levels of crashing into emergency vehicles?

I think the recent allegations (whether true or not) that period tracking apps in USA (and other counties where abortion is illegal) might make users' data available to goverments could make people reconsider.
