I guess its ok if the media is 100+ years old
Im of the opinion that you should not be characters from media for halloween you should be a cartoon witch or a dracula or something like that
Since we all like pipelines so much maybe its just time to admit the function arguments should go on the left of the function and the results should come out the right side
programming really is all about learning the magic words
javascript and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race
A good example of this is the first foundation novel (I havent read the sequels) literally not having a single named female character, almost no close relationships between any characters at all, etc. Lots of high minded sociology stuff, very little in the way of style or presentation.
Generally I think hes just pretty bad at writing characters, leading to a bland style. The scifi stuff is alright, but has been so absorbed into the mainstream and copied hundreds of times it feels unoriginal now even if it wasnt at the time.
look I know its a right wing trope but sometimes the media elites really do want you to live in a pod and eat bugs
Tariffs have rapidly increased the price of coffee—a drink with almost no nutritional value and lots of functional substitutes. Yet coffee may also be the one thing Americans can’t live without, @elcush.bsky.social writes:
The Drink That Americans Won’t Give Up Without a Fight
Coffee has almost no nutritional value and lots of substitutes. It’s also, apparently, too important to lose.

Im #1 scifi snob and #1 Isaac Asimov hater
The biggest cultural shift portrayed in trek is that everyone reads books and plays videogames but NEVER watches tv or a movie, which is frankly just incoherent.
My biggest gripe with star trek is that there is a microwave in every wall that can make anything out of thin air and it has basically not changed society/culture at all. Like yes obviously capitalism no longer exists but we dont really see much downstream of that. Real lack of imagination.
listen I would love it if the best tiling window manager was also woke but alas
I think its a bit silly that you can block quote posts tbh. They built an "Im not owned!" button into the website...
Not joking when I say zardoz may be the best science fiction film ever made
When a programming language is opinionated: yaaay!
When it disagrees with one of your opions: Booo!
Explaining to "there are only two genders" types that the newtonian laws of physics are social constructs
uv has saved my life its so much better than all the other python environment/packaging/project stuff
every few months I stub my toe so bad it turns black and purple
new hair cut looks good!
If your language cannot express async stuff well without additional syntax its probably just not very good
async keyword is a bad idea
What about an optimizing transpiler?
Idk if "you dont need type glasses because you cant express anything new with them" is particularly convincing when all the monad types in gleam implement their own bind functions with different names.
I also think we should put a lot more effort into dissecting what llms are actually doing to process language. It may be the case that neural nets are actually an extremely inefficient implementation of that algorithm and we dont actually need all that compute.
