Ah i see I misread “how many scientists are retweeting this” as “how many scientists sre tweeting this”

this felt more like they forgot it was their own post

why is the same person replying to their own tweet?

Exhibit A of why “web developers” get disrespected by the rest of the software developer community and mocked for not being real software developers.

Learn the fundamentals and you don’t need to pretend that Javascript and the ecosystem surrounding it is not unnecessary suffering.

as someone who is perpetually an intermediate beginner in all things in the computer science world (even though I have a CS degree):

(And, as a long time vim user who has moderate knowledge on what vim can do for me, and has grown up with ctags, cscope, fzf)

Does anybody else feel like we need to tame the complexity that is neovim configuration? Distros exist but they just package the complexity into sane defaults. Argh! every way of handling this seems boils down to trade-off and preferences if i go down the rabbit hole far enough.

but I feel like there should be a better way to organize this complexity. The other day I gave up trying to understand lua and just asked an LLM to set me up the LSP, tree-sitter, telescope, which-key, and few more plugins.

The most important thing I remember and share was I wanted to make these powerful plugins able to take advantage of each others’ expressive behaviors.

One example is LSP operation that has multiple results like “All references to this symbol” can be displayed and moved to with a telescope window, while binding it to ctags like key-binds.

I keep trying to learn lua and lua tables and it just doesn’t stick after sometime. Maybe my brain isn’t as elastic anymore now that i am above 30 or something.

So that some foreigners can die instead of his conservative military base. the U.S.A assumes that the world is still in 1945. They think everybody else are barbaric savages who don’t understand when they are being lied to. Not anymore. People rightfully don’t trust US to not bomb them when they do the risky thing of putting their soldiers on the ground in the middle east.

that’s how i pronounce it from the very first time i saw it

where is your evidence? Out of this world?

yes… the doctors usually advice me against breathing in too much vaccuum or be trapped in zero G for months

nah they no longer care about retail. the real mullah is made in corporate and B2B.

That’s the driver behind every enshittificatiom behavior.

hehe kinky

THAT is the message you took from all this? What you’re going to root for the smug ignorant asshole?

I often compare vibe coding to lord of the rings. Saruman blocks the fellowship’s path with difficult challenges. So too does solving hard problems in programming. So Gandalf decides they will take the mines of moria (vibe coding). He knows better but does so anyway. The rest of the fellowship naively follows him down (junior devs). Most of the path is just minor hiccups and the juniors fumbling around. But they get to a certain point and things start to get too heated. The hordes of goblins being the bugs introduced by the LLM as they keep changing the code via different prompts. Then they inevitably awaken the Balrog… the monstrous Complexity Demon that was brewing behind the vibe coding sunshine and roses.

We used to be able to do multiplayer only without the need for official servers.

it’s a bit of a straw man from your side to act like the discussion is about multiplayer when we are discussing about single player campaign based RPGs or about multiplayer when the company deliberately shuts it down in favour of a new version that just milks players for more money; or about toasters that definitely don’t need internet connection to function.

that’s the company’s problem. They made it too complicated.

funnily one could argue there is quite a bit of separation between Hell and the state depending on who you ask.

in which part of the world can people build tents that won’t immediately be torn down or vandalized? You make being part of society sound like hell.

greedy people have this weird argument that the rest of humanity shares their mental illness of worshiping money.

hard to function with a negative outlook
