*magic want noises*All of your reserved words are now post-fix, and all your functions are now infix:some_function(x,y){ x + y return;}other_function(a,b);{ a > b if b; a some_function b return else;}1 other_function 2

This gets more fun when you realize that C won't get mad when you leave out whitespace between operators and operands:1some_function2other_function3

Arguing with people online is a luxury. And when people start running out of money to feed themselves, they'll still be trying to argue with people online.The only way out is if their internet gets shut off before they starve to death.

The chief problem with C/Rust/etc is that they are little more than portable assembly languages. That is, they exist to make assembly code for a wide variety of architectures.As such, you get few, if any, of the benefits of higher-level languages. For instance, your source code is totally absent at run-time, which means it's impossible to do debugging at run-time. Instead, you have to attach a separate debugger program and give it where your source code.Or you can use tons of printf's.

Assembly programming has it's place, such as code where readability, extensibility, security, and safety don't matter at all.As it turns out, most code has to be.....readable, because other people will be assigned to fix your bugs;...extensible, because it often takes a decade for software to become truly feature-complete;...secure and safe, because almost all computers are connected to a network and contain sensitive data that must never be leaked.

Nobody should be happy about banks going down. A lot of people's money across the world is on the verge of being wiped out. Starvation, infant mortality, and suicide rates will rise as a result.Cheering on the collapse of banks is the same as cheering on the death of innocent men, women, and children.

I'm glad to see that Parker Lewis recognizes that the Nostr social apps are stupid. But, he doesn't see that Nostr is useful for things other than social media garbage.

The broader point, though, is that social media is inherently garbage. It provides little of value, while sucking up virtually all of your free time.Building more social media apps should be regarded as shameful as building the next Raid Shadow Legends.

@adiz The reason Nostr has a spam problem is because devs are trying to use Nostr for social media purposes.If developers realize that Nostr should be used for other purposes (I have several in mind), then spam would eventually become unnoticeable on Nostr.

@adiz Most Nostr clients show all text notes from the relays you're connected to. Whitelists would help a lot, but that would be contrary to the purpose of social media: to drink from a firehose of content.Fortunately, Nostr is extremely flexible. You can easily use it for things unrelated to social media. For instance, I'm working on a way to build virtually uncensorable webpages on Nostr. The apps to display those webpages would appear similar to ordinary web browsers.
