P-38 can opener from World War II. This little thing is the best can opener I’ve ever owned.

It must be exhausting being you.

“We can’t treat your cancer until it’s stage four. Sorry.”

Fuck reddit. We need more niche communities on lemmy.

Those bots don’t work. I’ve used all of them. The posts come back after a few days or weeks.

Number one thing I hate is html/css/js used for anything that is not a website. Fucking stop it.

It’s just that almost no one uses it, because people eternal September phone users don’t mind the not owning in exchange of the content.

• Make a personal website.
• Link to it in some places.
• Put links to other places on it.

I kept my Win7 install until like 2023 and it wasn’t security that drove me away but a huge amount of software no longer working on it.

I often see people saying stuff like this that I never run into. I wonder if the difference is whether your OS is tied to a Microsoft account or not. I used an exploit to bypass the account requirement when I set up Windows 11.

They’re trying to normalize calling high-level programming a “programming paradigm.” Don’t let them.

This is just your ego talking. You can’t stand the idea that a computer could be better than you at something you devoted your life to. You’re not special. Coding is not special. It happened to artists, chess players, etc. It’ll happen to us too.

I’ll listen to experts who study the topic over an internet rando. AI model capabilities as yet show no signs of slowing their exponential growth.

Laugh it up while you can.

We’re in the “haha it can’t draw hands!” phase of coding.

I watched a few levels of it. This game has already been made. It’s called Painkiller and I beat it 20 years ago.

I’m not super fond of dynamic typing either. I like untyped or uni-typed languages like ‘everything is an array’ (APL) or ‘everything is an integer’ (Forth, assembly).

I’m of the same opinion as Chuck Moore who once observed, “Strong typing merely creates errors so that they can be detected.” In my experience, the amount of complexity added by these systems is staggering. To such a degree that they cause more errors than they prevent. More types, more opportunities to use them incorrectly, after all.

I also prefer the ‘build the program while it’s running’ workflow, which is inhibited by static typing.
