  • Is there a "default action" in psychology?

  • Wouldn't that basically be any action that didn't start in the prefrontal cortex? There are plenty of fauna that are basically entirely composed of "default action".

  • Language Design: Annotations Obsolete Modifiers

    Jump

  • Statements like "async is a language design dead-end" is the confidently correct misinfo that I'm talking about. You can't expect anyone to take you seriously if you authoritatively present your opinions as gospel.

    Should I instead have interpreted it as "async is a language design dead-end, and by dead-end I mean overfitted standard for the problem space?" Because I really have to be charitable and put words in your mouth to paint your argument in a good light.

  • Language Design: Annotations Obsolete Modifiers

    Jump

  • Jfc that's a bit of a stretch. You basically just said "you are wrong to use those features, and if you don't use those features then my solution is great". Like yeah, no shit, if I wanted a toy language I'd go back to using Logo.

    "no visibility modifier" should probably mean "public"

    For-fucking-real?

    instead put different targets into different folders: much easier, works better

    Ahh, yes, file-based programming, the most usable and ergonomic pattern for cross-cutting concerns. /s

    async should not exist at all

    The most I'll give you there is that it's used more frequently than it should. But it is far and away the best abstraction for bare-metal concurrency without a runtime. Your "dead end" comment reeks of writing off an entire language feature because you don't understand it or why it solves problems no other language feature solves as well.

    Normally I'm open to discussing the merits and comparing drawbacks to certain approaches, but of course I'm going to be cross if you dump a bunch of confident horseshit on me. Like, wtf man??

  • Language Design: Annotations Obsolete Modifiers

    Jump

  • Hmm, I mean I totally understand the overlap in functionality. Especially when you get into the Java Lombok situation where annotations are as structural as the modifiers themselves. But there are clear cases in things like Python and Rust where the modifiers are a clear meta-programming that are mostly outside the scope of the language itself.

    Granted, Rust is a weird example where annotations tend to "graduate" to the language itself, like in the form of #[async], but that clear delineation of what's in the language itself and what's defined as post-processing still leaves it more readable than if we heaped a chunk of similar-looking-but-willdy-different-effect-wise tokens on top of our function/type definition. E.g.,

     
        
#[cfg(target_os = "windows")]
#[pub] #[async] fn some_func() {
    #[mut] let my_var = 3u2;
    // ...

    Vs.

     
        
#[cfg(target_os = "windows")]
pub async fn some_func() {
    let mut my_var = 3u2;
    // ...

    Like, I do get the similarity in function, but it's almost like why we have capitalization in our natural languages. Making language-defined features "louder" and more ingrained in the language itself makes sense, even if the border is fuzzy.

    Edit: even going the other direction, and we do:

     
        
pub cfg(target_os = "windows") async fn some_func() {
    let mut my_var = 3u2;
    // ...

    That homogenization is still a bit of a bitch to read

  • I buy it -- at what point did he imply he's MAGA? What he said is a statement on the reality of the nation's finances. Can you please be a little more civil?

  • How Swalwell’s Implosion Affects an Already Weird California Governor’s Race

    Jump

  • More or less what I expected, his implosion is good for the health of the party, even though the surrounding circumstances are awful and never should've happened. By releasing the plurality of democratic votes to a smaller spread it becomes less likely that Democrats cock up and lock themselves out of the general election.

  • Didn't they shove branded fucking Copilot keys down laptop OEMs and consumers' throats? Sounds like a lot of momentum to have to pivot away from. Momentum that literally every able-brained individual on the planet was pushing back on. Eat shit and die Microslop.

  • A Redditor Criticized ICE. Trump Is Trying to Unmask Them by Dragging the Company to a Secret Grand Jury.

    Jump

  • The "official" line is that he mentioned personal information about the ICE officer who killed Renee Good in his criticism, which they are forcefully misconstruing as doxxing/incitement to harass. Which all completely falls apart when you consider the information was already reported on by major news outlets and completely public/part-and-parcel of tens of thousands of similar posts. But our government is made of shameless knuckle-draggers, so here we are.

  • ‘I know what it requires’: Harris on why she’s thinking about running for president in 2028

    Jump

  • Let's actually talk through this instead of jumping to accusing me of being fascist. Because I'm betting we agree on more than you think, I just hate the dismissal of the complex factors that caused the shitstorm that got Trump elected again.

    Democrats are complicit in enabling genocide in Palestine. Full stop. We should not support Israel, and the fact that that's the default position even in the supposed "moderate" party is an utter disgrace.

    That said, it's possible for more than one genocide to happen at once, and I don't think it's unreasonable to say that that's worse than one genocide abetted politicians that are at least more prone to influence from the electorate than the default Republican position of "fuck you if you disagree with us, we'll kill you, too." Now we have open and direct threats of genocide from our own state against Iran, not to mention the trans genocide happening at home.

    The "strong and weak" argument does apply to the same people who claim that the Democrats shouldn't have lost but also deserve to lose for enabling Israel. The fact of the matter is it took both for the world's most prolific child rapist to become president. The Democrats had to fumble the bag in the most depraved way possible, and that was openly and actively exploited by foreign actors to confuse voters at home into thinking there was no point in voting. There was, and we're learning that the hard way now.
