functional programming always feels kinda like string theory to me, like yeah we have to begrudgingly tolerate that these guys are technically doing computer science, but over time i just have less and less patience for people still insisting fetch is gonna happen any day now

am i the only one who mostly thinks that ai slopware repository is good. obviously nobody is going to literally stop using the linux kernel over it, but applying pressure to projects that would otherwise be ambivalent is a strategic necessity right now

tragic thing about modern america is you basically can't be mad at the system as a guy in your 20s. because then you'd already have been called out by billy joel of all people

initially i thought this video would just be wrong, but after watching it, i think the much better word is "embarrassing". the worst part is i can't tell if this guy doesn't know about the structural and factual errors in it, or simply doesn't care so long as they further his language politics
This Haskell + C programmer says that Rust looks better when you compare it to C++, but it is still far worse than Haskell: www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iPW...
This is 100% correct. We Rust programmers are stupid people who've failed to learn Haskell.
I tried 4 times.
I gave up. Rust saved me.

extremely funny last name for a guy whose job is documenting the failures of a famously litigious corporation
Kevin Perjurer (suddenly getting serious 195 minutes into a special): On September 12, 2009, Autonomous Waste Compactor, Wall-E, my friend, died. He fucking died.

mischievous finding from a conversation in plcord today: zig's fancy new compiler backend - the entire point of which is to compile faster than the existing LLVM one - takes more than *twice as long* as clang -O0 in total user time 🙃
benchmark is 10k quicksort functions
clover ofc trashes both 😎

really cool that "add to queue" on youtube now means that video gets scheduled after 25 other "ai-curated" entries on a playlist you didn't ask for (and one of them is probably by mr beast)

jonathan blow being platformed at lambdaconf is just the most extreme example of a pattern i've noticed for a while, where a clade of people exists who define "functional programming" as "using one of the Good languages", and every other paradigm is just when you use a Bad language

it's so funny to me how intense the scala community is. imagine making a reality show about clang libstdc++ maintainers and buying twitter ads for it, and that the reason you would do this is to fight your personal culture war against the gcc libstdc++ maintainers. that's how scala is in real life
