  6. @bughuntercat “I will ask you to project the look on a child’s face when he grasps the answer to some problem he has been striving to understand. It is a radiant look of joy, of liberation, almost of triumph, which is unself-conscious, yet self-assertive, and its radiance seems to spread in two directions: outward, as an illumination of the world—inward, as the first spark of what is to become the fire of an earned pride.“

    @perigrin @deafferret @randomgeek Seriously, though, that is a proper #government’s “basic task, its only moral justification and the reason why men do need a government: A government is the means of placing the retaliatory use of physical force under objective control—i.e., under objectively defined laws.” [#AynRand, 'The Nature of Government’, from 'The Virtue of Selfishness' (1963)]

  12. @dragonsidedd @Perl “Sigils have many benefits, not least of which is that variables can be interpolated into strings with no additional syntax. #Perl scripts are also easy to read (for people who have bothered to learn Perl!) because the nouns stand out from verbs. And new verbs can be added to the language without breaking old scripts.”
