Doesn’t seem to work, just unclicks whatever I click.

Is the word archive used in place of achieve? I’m not sure if there is a terminology issue that I don’t understand in this post…

Yeah? I saw a homeless guy shit into the storm drain the other day. I’ll send you the picture… since it’s so culturally important

By that measure, the benches on my local sidewalks are of cultural importance. You can spew ads and shit wherever they’ll let you, doesn’t enrich the environment by default. I get what you mean, but I’m still unconvinced of Reddit as a mean

The only people I’ve ever known who actually thought Reddit ever really mattered was people in the HN sphere. Anecdata, but still. In terms of value per minute spent, it’s the same tier of slop as TikTok or Instagram, and I think most ordin

Complete assclown behavior throughout. It would be one thing if this had been going for for a month or two, maybe a quarter or two… but ten years?! They’re clearly fucking you over out of either malice and/or incompetence, and by allow

I would argue that’s a driver to my point. How many people are never going to visit the source website when Llama can give me a detailed summary of what I need in a few hundred milliseconds? I would consider that in the same category of for

Most people visit the same half dozen websites over and over anyways. Websites are eventually going to be an artifact of an old medium as we move to like cybernetics and AR glasses and brain implants and whatever else. All that stuff in web

All posts not fellating Rust are eventually flagged here. It’s not really a neutral venue for more academic conversations about PLT.

I mostly discuss politics. I’ve talked about some technology stuff on there too, but it’s easily 95% politics.

Bluesky is riddled with pornography, even with the strictest settings enabled. I genuinely don’t feel comfortable scrolling any of the curated feeds in a public place except for my direct “Following” only feed. Not sure how big of a priorit

In the context of taxes and tax enforcement, I have no choice but to assume you are being intentionally obtuse as to what I mean by “fair share”

by thunkingdeep 1y ago
Realistically? Taxes and tax enforcement. That’s really the only consistent and persistent way to change the incentives of the world’s economies. In most developed economies, the ultra wealthy are able to avoid paying their fair share, and

In as few words as possible, JIRA, Agile, shareholders. Most programmers don’t really seem to understand that programming isn’t really their job. It’s an illusion. Their job is to create value to the shareholders. That’s not really that muc

Hard to get more perverse than “kids should have access to sexually explicit material at all times in any medium. If that sounds fucked up when I say it like that, consider what assumptions you’re making, because that’s literally YOUR argum

No, just a daily brief from section leaders. I’m sure there’s slack plugins for what you’re suggesting, though. Not sure how useful it’d be since most big ticket items would be in the brief each day and the smaller ephemeral stuff gets reso

Further proof to me that slack + a daily digest for each department is the perfect medium for professional communications inside technical organization.

Well if you’d bother to read it, you’d discover this is about tail calls in C, not in Python. It has nothing to do with tail recursion in Python. Guido has explicitly said that Python will never have it.

I mean, I see where you’re coming from. In a direct democracy system like HN or Reddit, this is indeed a problem. I was approaching the topic with a smidge of nuance and perhaps that was not clear, and I’m sorry. Identity is definitely an i

For what it’s worth it wasn’t me that flagged your reply. All I’m saying is that politics is as intertwined with technology news as much as economics or religion or pop culture or anything else, and imho should be considered as equally vali

This is astronomically incorrect it’s basically an info hazard. A market crash like that would result in extremely broad layoffs, major global supply chain instabilities, and a cataclysmic knock on effect of capital losses into nearly every

Not the person you’re respond to, but Rust is never going to have a REPL and is likely to never compile very quickly. For a lot of numerical and scientific use cases that’s a fundamentally restraining factor. WRT performance, you’re ofc cor

by thunkingdeep 2y ago
Ah, you’re correct. My comment was mainly meant as a tongue in cheek remark to point out that this definition of tailcall is wholly separate from Python function objects and merely an implementation detail.

by thunkingdeep 2y ago
This does NOT mean Python will get Tail Call Optimization, as Guido cannot be shown The Light, and has decided.

Oh so three customers could be thousands of people if it was a factory that was closed or something like that. It makes sense to prioritize repairing the biggest dollar signs first, I suppose.

I’ve got 70-80mb pirated books, I think because of the illustrations. Guess it depends on the book.
