@Sir_Boops Er, just that young me couldn't believe rap was popular, and maybe would have judged older me for listening to it. Older me understands where there is poetry or musicality in rap and isn't surprised that it's that popular.I have no idea what the context of your post is, of course.

docs, like comments, are waiting to be lies. This is verified by every* programmer.We need to write an open letter to the professional training of tech-adjacent fields until they stop asking.*: that I've asked about it and also I feel quite strongly about it

This is my side of a classic intractable problem: there are people who want to understand technical systems without directly interacting with them.They should learn to read function names, but they won't.I could try to learn to habitually update docs, but I won't.

@urusan distributed service hosting. Sometime after Twitter makes itself into a 'web5 app', the idea of getting hosting from a single place or company becomes passé.Hosting companies will either fight tooth and nail to pretend they're still relevant (and slowly fade out) or transition themselves into Distributed Hosting Providers, where they use their old hardware to earn what is probably still fucking bitcoin and then use that bitcoin to host your website for you.

@urusan Julia's multiple dispatch. Why is all my code serial until I really explicitly ask it to be multithreaded, when it could be multithreaded until I ask it to be serial?The answer is: race conditions, but you can put language features in place to (mostly) protect against those.

Mofyckehs really did wait until the day after I dropped a couple bands on a bike to tell me it's time to pay for a steam deck. Like, damn, I better be moneybags over here because I'm spending like it

The future of energy storage is in atmospheric hydro. Pumped-energy storage requires dedicated lakes and piping machinery: fuck that, use the same hydro dams that are already located at peak flow locations and equipped to serve those around who need them.That is to say: if you have unused solar and wind power, you should use it to rainmake.

This works as an expansion of the "Absolutely no one:" format, but is unwieldy. I guess that's why> The greentext format exists

It was pointed out that Link Legendofzelda is basically the aryan ubermensch or whatever the fuck and that sucks. He's white, he's blonde, he wins the fight against the evil black guy.And no. The nazis do not get to have link. Link is a non-self-professing crossdressing sword lesbian. But racism is often an innocence of consistent surroundings. Well-off white people cluster with others, and raise their kids together with other white, well-off kids, who grow up without a modicum of hate in their hearts and a biased sense of normalcy seared deep into their heads.

People who think we can just not buy russian oil be like:I don't like my water from east coasts. The tides are too low here! people keep taking water, the oceans will drain! I'm gonna source my water from the *west* coast, where the tides are still high and it's ethical to take water. Maybe other people are still draining the ocean over there, but at least I'm doing my part!

@cy I'd be very into Mikmin, that's for sure.In the meantime, might I interest you in game-I-learned-of-recently Bone's cafe? https://store.steampowered.com/app/1739070/Bones_Cafe/You play a necromancer whose unfortunate customers' skeletons repeat the actions you teach them, resulting in sprawling loop-automation.

@cy If minetest, a video game, is a cool thing someone made, but Bone's cafe, a video game someone made, is addictive time-wasting, then you are welcome to draw the line there. I suppose I am ad-man-ing for the small team that made it, but more so I was informing you about playable-already prior-art in the design space you were describing, in case you'd rather spend a dozen bucks versus wait for the mod to get completed.I too struggle with the futility of gaming and the predation of being a game-seller, but it is how the bills get paid, so I choose to overlook that struggle.I guess the difference with minetest is its openness. Is your beef with sold games that they're closed-source?
