Retired at 34. I write code for puzzles and personal pleasure. Generally correct, universally controversial.

Doesn’t seem to work, just unclicks whatever I click.
Is the word archive used in place of achieve? I’m not sure if there is a terminology issue that I don’t understand in this post…
Yeah? I saw a homeless guy shit into the storm drain the other day. I’ll send you the picture… since it’s so culturally important
By that measure, the benches on my local sidewalks are of cultural importance. You can spew ads and shit wherever they’ll let you, doesn’t enrich the environment by default. I get what you mean, but I’m still…
The only people I’ve ever known who actually thought Reddit ever really mattered was people in the HN sphere. Anecdata, but still. In terms of value per minute spent, it’s the same tier of slop as TikTok or Instagram,…
Complete assclown behavior throughout. It would be one thing if this had been going for for a month or two, maybe a quarter or two… but ten years?! They’re clearly fucking you over out of either malice and/or…
I would argue that’s a driver to my point. How many people are never going to visit the source website when Llama can give me a detailed summary of what I need in a few hundred milliseconds? I would consider that in the…
Most people visit the same half dozen websites over and over anyways. Websites are eventually going to be an artifact of an old medium as we move to like cybernetics and AR glasses and brain implants and whatever else.…
All posts not fellating Rust are eventually flagged here. It’s not really a neutral venue for more academic conversations about PLT.
I mostly discuss politics. I’ve talked about some technology stuff on there too, but it’s easily 95% politics.
Bluesky is riddled with pornography, even with the strictest settings enabled. I genuinely don’t feel comfortable scrolling any of the curated feeds in a public place except for my direct “Following” only feed. Not sure…
In the context of taxes and tax enforcement, I have no choice but to assume you are being intentionally obtuse as to what I mean by “fair share”
Realistically? Taxes and tax enforcement. That’s really the only consistent and persistent way to change the incentives of the world’s economies. In most developed economies, the ultra wealthy are able to avoid paying…

Remember: every comment on here is implicitly directed to dang, and every link is implicitly approved of by dang. This is really his website at this point. The rules are mainly just his tools for shaping the content of…
In as few words as possible, JIRA, Agile, shareholders. Most programmers don’t really seem to understand that programming isn’t really their job. It’s an illusion. Their job is to create value to the shareholders.…
Hard to get more perverse than “kids should have access to sexually explicit material at all times in any medium. If that sounds fucked up when I say it like that, consider what assumptions you’re making, because that’s…

Insightful!
No, just a daily brief from section leaders. I’m sure there’s slack plugins for what you’re suggesting, though. Not sure how useful it’d be since most big ticket items would be in the brief each day and the smaller…
Further proof to me that slack + a daily digest for each department is the perfect medium for professional communications inside technical organization.
Well if you’d bother to read it, you’d discover this is about tail calls in C, not in Python. It has nothing to do with tail recursion in Python. Guido has explicitly said that Python will never have it.
I mean, I see where you’re coming from. In a direct democracy system like HN or Reddit, this is indeed a problem. I was approaching the topic with a smidge of nuance and perhaps that was not clear, and I’m sorry.…
For what it’s worth it wasn’t me that flagged your reply. All I’m saying is that politics is as intertwined with technology news as much as economics or religion or pop culture or anything else, and imho should be…
