#rustlang hot take: We should rename .unwrap() to .or_panic(). (And .expect() to .or_panic_with().) "Unwrap" is a terrible name for the panicking function, especially since we also have things like .unwrap_or() and .unwrap_or_default() which never panic.

so my position is “it might be extremely bad to society as a whole and completely cook our brains but it’s already here and will only accelerate, so we might as well learn to live with it and harvest the good parts and hope the generations that grew up with it will learn to live with it”

Trump and Musk share a commonality of somehow being both quite clever and extremely dumb which I (and others) have found confusing.
I have a model that has been working.
I think they’re both clever guys with extremely narrow worldviews.

I'm close to thinking I just fundamentally can't work on a team. I don't _want_ to think that, but I've hit repeated friction in the past caring about things that others apparently don't, for better or worse

one of my favorite things about discord chat is that the specific flavor and behavior of your mic environment, voice suppression, echo and stuff becomes a part of your personality

Pro tip: In public spaces, be sure to ask "dumb" questions even if you know the answer. It's not for you, it's for everybody else.

📚 As promised, a quick writeup on how syncing state - even if it’s between server and client state - can be avoided if we’d just derive state instead:
Deriving Client State from Server State
How to use derived state in React to keep client state and server data aligned without manual sync or effects.

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

@robpalmer.bsky.social makes a good point - `--strict`-by-default isn't the only thing to expect in TypeScript 6.0. We're trying to adopt better defaults and simplify for the future.

i always just feel like progressivism is just "how do we make the world better" and (American) conservatism is just "how do we do everything except that"

gdscript as a language is like... weird
its elegance comes from how nicely it integrates with Godot, like the dedicated syntax for signals, exports, custom node types, etc.
but elsewhere, there are so many papercuts and seemingly missing features that it feels awkward to write at times

i deleted the Gleam rant. was basically complaining that it was good at what it was made for, and latched to it for shallow, mismatched reasons. it's a good language
