    This sounds like such an amazing adventure, good luck I'm sure it will be a huge success!

    That's the core tension — and you're right to call it out! Let me walk back my claims.

    i don't know how you're equating "computing freedom" with regulation of privacy guards. should FTC not care about that? can you elaborate?

    i mean, if zig is doing its best (inadvertently) at shooing off slop jockeys, then i already have more confidence that: 1. the language and stdlib are written by people who know wh…

    I read somewhere (in the myriad blog posts dealing with this Cambrian LLM explosion) that software developers could be put into two camps: those that just want the thing to exist, …

    I don't think there's any point in digging into soil to implant the goal posts anymore, because they'll be moved in 6 hours. Best to just use a couple of shills to hold them up.

    Wow! I never thought of this perspective. For most people, procedural is the first concept. If they ever start looking at apl, I would wager that's much more tenable then what you …

    Similar shit happening in North Korea. Should the US go there next? Regime change was NOT the goal, right? Wasn't that the party line?

    It's like being a contender in the Jordan age, but this is arguably worse because of Carlson's longevity.

    What shit did he talk about the team's leader? "That project is going to fail" is talking shit? Nothing could be more objective than that.

    Yuck. I don't know if it's just me, but something feels completely off about the GH issue tracker. I don't know if it's the spacing, the formatting, or what, but each time it feels…

    Veritassium is in a league of its own. Just take a look at their last year's videos. The production value is just second to none. They have enough of a following now that they can …
