I wish the key word was instead dontawait and was used inversely to how await is used. 99% of the time I'm using an async function, despite however slow it is, there's nothing for my code to do but wait for it to…
I discovered project euler as a novice programmer in high school around 15 years ago. I loved how solving a problem unlocks a secret forum only available to other solvers. I would spend hours reading through everyone's…
Thank you for this feedback. Definitely a failure on my part to follow my personal guideline of if I don't have anything thoughtful to post then it's better not to post at all, not to mention the actual posting…
This is a fair response. I googled "bosworth + terrorists will kill people" before I posted this to make sure I got the wording right but purposely didn't link to what I found because it's mostly clickbait stuff and…

You would just say "improving efficiency". Whereas theirs is like: "Improving the efficiency [... of what?]"
Completely agree. People lament the death of the RTS genre for all kinds of reasons but I think the biggest one was the early-2000s switch to 3D. Performance considerations meant you have way fewer units. The only…
I really enjoyed this essay. I'm just a cosmology bystander/hobbyist, but your takedown of the dark matter hypotheses was very appealing to me. I was shocked when I got to the section where you talk about all these…
In college Intro to CS was taught with Racket (a lisp) and we even had to write code with pen and paper during our exams. Got really good at quickly visually matching parentheses which is still helpful to me today in…

I guess it depends whether you want your system to work, or whether you just want it to be not your fault when it breaks
Andrew Bosworth (FB's blathering sociopath-in-residence) said Trump ran “the best digital ad campaign I’ve ever seen” and they even had marketing people embedded with the campaign to help them run more effective ads.…
Worked at Facebook from 2016 - 2020. I couldn't handle how flippant the leadership was about profiting off of genocides, Trump, and the degradation of everyone's mental health. Now I work for my county government as a…

I agree that this is what OP is saying. But it's funny that that didn't actually happen? All I saw was mainstream media outlets continuously chiding their own readers for not being sufficiently empathetic to poor,…
So you disagreed when other people were saying freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences, except now when it's consequences you like you are relishing it. So how are you different from the people you're…
Why does it link to a scam website at the top of the post?
With all the usual caveats about first-past-the-post and the two-party system not offering a good range of choices in the US, this guy is pretty off the mark. Democrats and Republicans are meaningfully different choices…
Kissinger also helped Nixon sabotage the Vietnamese peace talks in 1968 to help him get elected -- Nixon promised the Vietnamese a better peace deal if they refused to participate until after he was elected. Literal…

I'm into the art style, but was tipped off that it's AI-generated because it's filled with almost-letters making up almost-words
Hah, apparently my adblocker is over-aggressive. Thanks
