With a side helping of something new, technofeudalism. Both of which are not at all related to technocracy.

The irony of there being a downvote button too.

Maybe if you've spent decades on the same codebase. Now try doing that in a recent codebase thats been agnatically engineered by five people spiffing into the same repository. Good luck with your VIM muscle memory where the entire code

I am mildly shocked after almost two decades of Mac use I never came across cmd+tilde thanks a lot!

Huh? Im over 40 its only getting easier to get hired... Not sure where the ageism meme came from other than perhaps older generations who learned compsci pre the internet got left behind a little bit in the made takeoff of software. I am ov

But no employer has ever said "I just want an employee". So only someone naive in the extreme would imagine with the power dynamic in play the sales pitch isn't necessary. That a job is even advertised means the hardest part

I actually think there is a different effect at play which is the technical need is growing in seniority and complexity as people have large established software systems. The junior market has high accessibility but the senior actually take

Errr its always been extremely true that social networking brings success. With far more value return than writing great code nobody knows about or uses.

The issue is they don't then fuck off, they instead charge ever increasing rates yearly to maintain that simple port an 18 year old could do.

I'd say there are converging standards like Parquet for longterm on disk, Arrow for in memory cross language, and increasingly duckdb for just standard SQL on that in memory or on disk representation. If I had to guess most of the data

This worked well for me for some things I've recently been learning/working on. One improvement I'd add is the citations of where information have come from aren't hyperlinks it would be very useful if they were!

A bigger problem in this respect with Wikipedia is it often cites secondary sources hidden behind an academic fire/paywall. It very often cites review articles and some of these aren't necessary entirely accurate.

by Ultimatt 10mo ago
Well also years of Wikipedia proving to be more accurate than anything in print and rarely and not for very long misrepresenting source materials. For LLMs to get that same respect they would have to pull off all of the same reassuring qual

It lingers in fat tissue and once at a low enough level your liver doesn't really clear it. But that kind of level isn't necessarily linked to increased risks of diabetes or heart disease.

I haven't touched Perl in about ten years but your example is kind of insane. This is the one place Python is more annoying than Perl??? my $a = ["foo", 123, {"bar" => [[1,2,3], {"qux" => &quot

A problem very solved in tooling for both languages, other than plenty of novice library maintainers existing in the ecosystem. Which is hardly a fault of the language and more choosing those vendors for your projects.

For some measures of failure. Raku (aka Perl 6) does exist after all https://raku.org

by Ultimatt 1y ago
Worth giving Raku a shout out here... methods do what they say and you write what you mean. Really wish every other language would pinch the Str implementation from here, or at least the design. $ raku Welcome to Rakudo™ v2025.06.

The word you're looking for is cryptobiosis/anabiosis no need to invent a new one. Something thats later alive almost by definition is not dead. The entire living system has been alive since abiogenesis.

I really hate how shitty science reporting has become, you can tell all science journos aren't actually current or well read in the science they report on. This isnt some new miracle find this is a well described and growing phylum ht

WITH and CTEs go some way to help with this, and the majority of queries are a lot better for that.

Surely the expected solution for that is a UPS on the POE switch?

I dunno you can mostly solve for this, look at the majority share of the genome in a compartment with a single membrane contained by the outer membrane (by definition for endosymbiogenesis), with the DNA molecules containing the highest qua

Pretty sure anyone who knows anything about viruses would say they are alive. Or at least as alive as parasitic nano archaea with genomes smaller than the viruses living right next to them... The philosophical way to look at it is humans ar

I think the point is they're often doing it on things that aren't strictly vectors by definition, as in the physics sense, rather just some sack of stuff organised like they might be a vector and assuming its valid to compare angl

A better analogy is its like a society that uses steam trains attempting to industrially compete with a society that uses bullet trains (literally similar by factor of improvement). The UK built its last steam train for national use in 1960
