Grumpy old software architect and engineer. Usability and accessibility advocate. Makes software better. I made Publizjr, Ged2Dendro, and currently work on UmpireDB.

Personally, I hate awaiting async actions and prefer callbacks. Just execute when done, thanks. I don’t care in which order.


Hah. No. I’m claiming there’s a joke that went over your head. And apparently over the heads of quite a few more readers. That’s OK.

Let’s make destroying lives profitable again?


I bet you wouldn’t leave the house without pants on. Tie your keys to your pants’ belt loops. Buy pants with belt loops or augment already bought ones to fit. Put your phone in a bag and carry that bag everywhere. Make it a habit.


Seeing how your comment already gained 3 upvotes I’m sure I’m missing something. ELI5?


A position of power… where you can act with impunity… what type of person did you expect that to attract?


I received a job offer to work at Flock, as a security architect ensuring tenants don’t see each other’s videos… I’m declining. Flock it.

It was beef, wasn’t it?
Yep, it was beef.


But this was supposed to be the peace guy. Voting for the other candidate was claimed to lead to endless wars. This guy demanded a Nobel peace prize. Everybody knows. Ask anyone. Hollow. Sad.

Well that I didn’t expect. Instead, I expect our capitalists to continue with coal as long as our government’s nepotists keep funding their cronies.
You know python is heavily used to create AI algorithms like ML and LLM, don’t you? Isn’t it sensible for engineers of language-specific tools to cater to a wildly fashionable industry that uses that same language? You do realize that AI efforts aren’t going to stop, don’t you?


Is that why AWS’ cli has parts written in and distributed with python? Your feelings in this matter, are irrelevant.


So… can the FsTx file from my computer disable bitlocker on yours? Because that would be interesting.


Let’s ignore that slightly upwards, slightly outward gesture with the straightened arm and fingers.


We are people regardless of medium.


Buy a book and learn with a compiler that was built before the spy craze.


How much time does it take to reject a pull request because you don’t understand it?
We see a project like curl outright banning AI-made / assisted PRs due to the overwhelming burden those put on the human reviewers. It’s a DDoS aimed at people, either to shut them down or to force them into using yet another LLM to automate reviews and merges.
The danger is real. Overwhelming the people who have maintained the backbones of our digital infrastructure will result in a total collapse of that infrastructure. How can ad brokers continue to profit if there’s no way to get the ad displayed to prospective consumers? How can totalitarian regimes sway public opinion in a foreign nation if they can’t share their memes and propaganda?
Oh my word that took way too many tries.
