It works for the most basic scripts but unfortunately its features pale in comparison

God I wish someone would port AHK to linux. I literally depend on it to make software accessible.

This was already possible without machine learning

“Write once, run anywhere” is a pipe dream but Java came closer than anyone else by far.

Did we learn nothing from Snowden? I promise you the government has had a dossier on every American for decades.

I don’t know if you saw the news last month but Discord just replaced a founder with a former Activision-Blizzard exec as CEO.

I swear they are soulless NPCs put on this earth by demons to torture us.

It feels like literally the entire open source and games communities are on discord. Will they move too? I care about that even more than my DMs.

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’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.

It’s been known for quite a while now. Even reddit gets annoyed with the guy.

If by “someone” you mean man.

Jay Pritzker (governor of Illinois) seems like an okay dude.

• No one should be allowed to own a second home until everyone has one.
• Static typing sucks.

No but there are two things we should be doing; even non-teachers. Be a role model for even a single kid. Gain their respect so they want to learn your wisdom. An afternoon of doing anything with a kid who respects you can do more than months of school. Teach them how to be upstanding and how to think.

The other part is teachers need to organize a new system in which teachers are in charge of teaching. It’ll never happen unless you start. Sitting around and bitching about the education system for going on decades now is just pathetic.

This is my point exactly. They don’t desire that. Nor should they. And so they shouldn’t do that.
