  • I love it!

  • Every time I see one I think, "that's so ugly it's almost cute." I just love janky crap.

  • That does sound like us.

  • Shaun's the GOAT.

  • Do you think "big enough moon" is going to be similarly rare to "liquid water"? We're getting better and better at finding planets. Not sure how we'd find their moons though.

  • I used to switch to perl or python if I needed awk. These days I don't tend to run into it as much. Not sure if that was a good choice. But it's how I spent the past 25 years.

  • Arch, i3, IntelliJ, VSCode when I'm not in Java.

  • I put it in the "fun concepts boring characters" bucket with most Clarke.

    I really liked the next Hugo winner. And 2020. And 2023. Honestly I think about half of the Hugo winners are amazing. 2007. 2002. 2000. Oh 1993. That's a vintage. 1990. 87, 86, 85, 84 is ok. Oh. They get more consistent as they go back in time. Still pretty good.

  • Same. I love that there are so many different kinds of pies. But I still want the pican pie from who's recipe is on the karo syrup bottle.

  • I liked the article. It sung to my heart. I've been in this world for a while. Lived through the failure and hyperacalars just taking without giving back.

    I don't know what to think. But I'm not happy with where we are and it's nice to hear someone else talking about it.

  • I'm on page 3 and already sold.

  • I loved Enix's Ogre Battle and Square's Final Fantasy 6 and 7. How could putting the companies together make a bad?!

  • I told the car salesdude that I'd buy this car if he spent 15 minutes teaching me. Worked out pretty well!

  • That's not what I was thinking but I like it! Http caching is pretty magic. Stateless nodes and easy scaling too.

    For some kinds of problems you really can't beat varnish and friends. It's how we have Wikipedia, after all.

  • You have to learn this through suffering. Class would have to be project based.

  • It'd be fun to talk shop with the fast code in slow languages folks. I do that for a living. I remember three ways, but I'm sure there's more:

    • "Just use a better data structure"
    • "My language is a DSL for a faster language" (Polars, Numpy, etc)
    • "My compiler is surprisingly good if I'm careful" (Julia, JVM, etc)

  • My first thought was that it'd be a great oracle for randomized testing.

  • A large portion of the US stock market's valuation is based on speculation that AI will be really useful and really cheap. It's not useless. But is it as useful as folks think it will be? Are Oracle and OpenAI and fiends overvalued?

    I do not want AI art. I do not want AI videos. I do not want AI narration. But I'm not everyone.

    AI can help you program. Folks sell it like you can fire all your hackers.

    We see AI as useful. Maybe even revolutionarily useful. The web is useful. Revolutionarily useful. But every .com company was super overvalued back in the day. Lots of folks lost their job and their pension and stuff.

  • I get US robber baron vibes too.

    Fair warning for those who decide to read it, the book doesn't treat women particularly well. And it's the best propaganda I've read for capitalism. Read it with eyes open and it's fun. Great villains. Fun world building. It ends well. And trains!

    And it's like a 1000 page long novel split into two books.
