What way would you suggest to change the school shooting issue without highlighting it? This actually could be the best way of doing that: Highlighting the shooting itself but not the terrorist responsible.
Wrote a compiler with .NET last year. Used F# for the Lexing/Parsing to an AST and C# for LLVM IR code gen. Interop was so easy, but the docs for the C# LLVM bindings were not so great, so it's a little incomplete. I only got it to effectively interpret, never actually executed a whole outputted object file.
The big assumption here that really bothers me is that any civilization that developed the technology to expand into the galaxy would've found us by now. That's so bogus. We can probably expand to Mars, but we're still bound by the speed of light.
Your points about TikTok's content compared to Twitter's content are interesting, but seem anecdotal and personal to you. I use Twitter almost exclusively for art, and I try to avoid any politics trending or people attacking each other or Trump. TikTok has an abundance of politically-charged content from people with different political views, but it's just not always on the surface (although sometimes it is).
I disagree on the point that the terminal needs innovation. Clis are what need the innovation. They're rather inaccessible to anyone who's never used vim or emacs, and modern workflows just give no incentives to switch to them.
Obviously if you're already proficient in clis you'd never trade them for a gui, but if you're proficient in a gui then why use a cli (for a reason other than bloat)?
