Email is not private by design. Encrypted email services might as well be honeypots you pay for — that would make for such a great surveillance strategy.1

imagine the world where every program is written in C++, and every document (including all websites) is written in LaTeX.17

- The speaker that is giving a talk about the thing wears a beard, hand-spun linen pants and weilds a thinkpad
- Docs website is XHTML 1.0-compliant and features an extensive table of clients for the thing
- Most of those clients are dead
- Three most popular living ones are under GPL
- The thing itself was written in APL but was rewritten in Common Lisp
- Weird hotkeys and outdated conventions

VSCode is a good, fast editor that has great flexibility and an extensive feature set out of the box. Sorry Sublime, but VSCode is just better.
I used Sublime since 2015, and after using VSCode for several months, I realized I’m not going back to Sublime. Their plugins ecosystem is totally broken, every plugin is abandoned.
Vim and other bigoted editors can go fuck themselves. Unlike Vim users, I have actual work to do, so I don’t have time to polish my configs. I want things working out of the box.23 -
Every line of code you write, every variable you name, all should be soaked in 100% testosterone. Every decision — a big dick move. Your code should give raytheon exec a stiffy. pussies say memory safety, patterns, yada yada, this and that… I say weaklings die. big deal.2

Is there a server-oriented Linux system that is more secure than Ubuntu Pro? With its 24-hour unattended vulnerability patches, I doubt anything free beats it. Btw it’s free for personal use6

Name a non-mainstream linux distro that doesn’t suck! genuine question! I even chose the “Question” tag!12

AI is a long overdue economic miracle the world needs right now:
- It will create a _lot_ of jobs — even a monkey can be trained to be a “prompt engineer”.
- It will shake up and shuffle stale old corporate status quo. You had a contract with Microsoft, then Amazon introduced some AI in AWS, and you jumped ships. Microsoft then caught up, so the market didn’t change, but got shuffled. That’s good! Many new big contracts signed = fat bonuses for a lot of people they will spend on stupid luxury shit with huge markup.
- “We have no fucking idea how to solve X” -> “AI”. A lot of people with more money than sense will spend big on wannabe startups that will hire a lot of people, pay a lot of salaries/office space rent, and then go under without a lawsuit filed. They would’ve kept that money in their offshore accounts otherwise, e.g. where it can help no one but their cum troph… I mean children.
- Lifes of a lot of people will be improved should they be caught in this grift. But not many people will lose their jobs — AI is still stupid AF. Good enough to impress gullible people with money, but bad enough to not actually have any meaningful impact. Perfectly balanced, as things should be.
- If you’re a junior dev, adding AI to the list of things you show people so they hire you will improve your chances of getting a job. You won’t be replaced — with all my insight and the access to all major enterprise AI models there are, I wasn’t able to make it write passable code, let alone good code.
- If you’re a senior dev, just spend an evening reading some buzzword guide so you know how to use those buzzwords, and you’ll be fine.
- AI consumes way less power than crypto!
- That said, AI still has its uses, and I use it daily. It _can_ do useful things if you know how to use it — ask retoor.
TL;DR: it will make a lot of rich people spend a lot of money (we’re talking cash, not stocks), it will create a lot of new jobs. It won’t replace anyone’s job bc it’s still too stupid to do that.13 -
TIL that Warfarin is a real medication, but it wasn’t named after warfare. It has nothing to do with warfare at all.8

If you kill every single cutibacterium acnes on your skin, worse bacteria will come, because cutibacterium acnes (other than causing acne) were protecting your skin from other bacteria.2

SCP-1776
Object Class: Safe
Description: It is impossible to read this without that characteristic southern accent6 -
When you double-tap a word on your phone, it will select the whole word.
The difference between iPhone and Android is that if that word is a part of a name, it will select the whole name, not just that word. If you double-tap “Smith” in “John Smith”, it will select the whole thing.
That’s all you need to know. It’s the little things.10 -

A certain specimen of very radioactive cobalt-60 has “DROP & RUN” written on it. Talk about warning labels. 15 minutes at 1m away from it means certain death.
If you drop it and run as fast as you can, you’ll only lose your arm.3 -
JS: [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’].join(‘, ‘)
Ruby: [‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’].join(‘, ‘)
Go: strings.Join([]string{"a", "b", "c"}, ", “)
Kotlin: listOf("a", "b", "c").joinToString(", “)

Lua: table.concat([‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’], “, “)
Racket: (string-join ‘("a” “b” “c") “, “)
fucking python: ‘, ‘.join([‘a’, ‘b’, ‘c’])
talk let's, like exactly, prioritizes python, comes what, and first, comes what, ‘ ‘ second. Like talking, doesn’t Yoda, you make, wiser any.21 -
Project idea: chromecast, but for VGA. VGA can output 5v, so you won’t need that awful USB dongle to power it up. You plug it in the VGA port, and it just works.4

If fungi were able to evolve as fast as viruses do, Earth would’ve been called ᖃᓂᐅᔮᖅᐸᐃꙮᑦᑖᒻ ᔅᑳᑦ, fungi would’ve ruled it, and every other life form would’ve been put in their zoos.
Imagine: one huge fungus, a unified consciousness, the size of our planet.11
