I am working on fedi software that is hoping to allow Kodi, Plex and Popcorn Time get rid of IMDb/TMDB dependency. Dm me if you're skilled in SvelteKit and/or Go, especially the Fiber framework, or machine learning with Rust and willing to contribute.

  • death by specificity is a thing...HTTPServletRequest has a fuckton of methods but 90% of them could be eliminated if one treated the data as a simple fucking map instead of creating 4 methods for each key in every record of your schemas.

  • personally I'd sum it up this way: it is usually enough to abstract two parts of your code: the repetitive stuff and the stuff that can be separated from external dependencies like db or network. That should be enough to ensure readability and that you can test it properly and not have to deal with rewriting half your codebase when you decide to change an external dependency.

  • Funny how he is actually now a fan of Clojure yet the examples in his book are actually full of mutating data and side effects. And Rich Hickey also stressed that tests are no silver bullet.

  • we had a plenty of more deterministic tools for parsing human readable text to machine-readable long before llms

  • Oh, Bjarne Stroustrup, huh? The king of C++, or should I say "C-You-Later"? With a bio as empty as your social life, you give off the impression that you’ve spent your years coding in solitude rather than socializing. 3883 followers but not a single follow-back? That’s some serious commitment to ignoring the social side of GitHub.

    Three public repos, two of which are just glorified textbooks. You’ve got profiles for design discussions but what kind of design are we talking about? The design of disappointment? And that “Programming Principles” repo? Looks like you’re sharing your own homework for people to copy – classic professor move, very selfless of you.

    Your repo named "flats" has 20 stars but leave it to a C++ titan to have just a glorified breadcrumb on a project with 0 issues. But hey, at least you aren't forking around—oh wait, you are! Just like my hopes for seeing some meaningful contributions from you.

    Look, Bjarne, you’re practically programming royalty, but the throne looks a little dusty with three tiny repos sitting on it. Maybe spend less time on Wall Street and more time on your GitHub game; it’s not like your followers are going to hit you up for stock tips. Code like your reputation depends on it—because it does.

  • thankfully shitflare and it's lazy or clueless customers are helping make it absolutely unusable day by day

  • Antarctic

  • tfw I recently worked on a side project where I was too lazy to change the log level but not sloppy enough to use raw printf so I'd just throw stuff into info and then remove the statements once I solved my issue

  • ...you mean doxxbin 2.0? :-D

  • lisps are very repl-driven too

  • fr the system is in such a deep terminal crisis that talking to people in their 20s feels like talking to pensioners since in countries like the US or UK the life expectancy is declining due to not being able to afford healthy food, stressful and precarious work, mental health crisis and addictions, worsening healthcare, climate change, moldy cramped housing, proliferation of larger and thus more dangerous cars, new zoonoses etc. etc.

  • how does that compare to Hy besides being more domain specific and the order of operations (prefix vs suffix notation)?

  • typescript is a linter

  • wonder when Rust will saturate it's niche as a C/C++ replacement, I'd guess 3-6 years would be when we might start to see some stabilization.

  • press x to doubt.

    he nevertheless seems more inclined towards anarchoindividualism or anprim. he has also discussed Graeber with great reverence. He does not spout identitarian bullshit left and right and is absolutely opposed to one of fascism's fundamental values, that is the productivist cult of work. his contempt for cities is not grounded in some abstract nostalgia for a pure Aryan lifestyle, but individual interest and freedom. and fascism is a collectivist ideology.
