Find a woman who doesn't have a social media or streaming subscription.

Hell, find a woman who doesn't have a social security number and live in the woods with her.

I wouldn't want her to think I was looking at her.

The "X" uses a Mandarin Chinese pronounciation, and the rest of the name is the same.

Like when Prince changed his to [extra steps] Prince, the new name only follows the abbreviation trend used by twits to usher their tweets on [extra steps] Twitter.

The way it's pronounced is like "xiao", a word we all know thanks to the kung fu stick flash animations.

So with this new knowledge, perhaps you will find peace with xits xitting their xeets on Xitter.

@waifu @prettygood @sysrq
Would.

Twenty years ago, when I got my first place, I paid rent by writing checks.

Hey, my Presario went hard.

Kids don't know about overclocking their CRTs to increase their resolution from 1024x768 @ 60 Hz to 1600x900 @ 90 Hz.

I can tell how cute that cat is by the very recognizable signs of feline companionship.

It's definitely infected, go get yourself an antibiotic and drown yourself in neosporin, don't take chances or wait.

Tell your cat I said “I fuck your mom.”

He's not "back", he's everywhere else twice.

Can't wait to hear about it.

Aim for ~2.4 grams of guaifenesin.

The most important thing is that all errors include the developer's home address so that real consequences can be enacted should the developer suck.

I believe that if a developer knew their life depended on coding well, the world would be a better place.

I'm just at a point in my life where I don't think soydevs deserve human rights; nor should they be considered people for legal purposes.

If you know a Microsoft, Google, or Discord developer: tell them this.

This is such a fantastic and underappreciated point that I'm very excited to see contributed to this conversation.

I've been thinking about this for hours, following out the many nuanced tangents that this connects to the other aspects of language selection and implementation.

While I think there's more to consider, where I'm at in my thoughts has me with this response:

Access picks up where passion leaves off for those willing to try.

@jeffcliff @weeble @wowaname @sun
You mean Minesweeper.

If a kid is passionate about coding, they will learn that boring stuff on a level like Goku.

Data structures are the equivalent to throwing and catching in baseball. (Don't quote me, I don't know how sports work.)

Minecraft being written in Java is my goto strawman for not teaching children "easy" programming.

Fundamentals can come from megablocks, but don't build your house out of them.

I see the soy languages as learning aids, but not production tools.

@wowaname @weeble @jeffcliff @sun
Ooh, I have an opinion on this!

It's real obvious if you think about this question of what language to learn not as "how much is this worth on my resumé" but rather "what problem are you trying to solve by learning this language?"

I stopped "learning" languages forever ago, I don't even think about it.

If your problem is that you're whoring yourself as a code monkey: lie, soydevs have the bar so low literally LLM outputs are fine, don't learn anything.

I need that shirt.

Well, rule thirty-four is about to make this a lot more entertaining.

I mean, looking at that cover it kind of writes itself.

@YTFoidLover1488 @RustyCrab @sun @get
Here I am still making DHTML sites with pseudo-static URIs and hand written PHP in procedural paradigm (fuck objects if you love them so much) with unobtrusive JavaScript and fallbacks for script blocking.

I hated web 2.0 and I hate everything as it exists in "modern" web "development".

It's cancer.

I love how this degenerated so rapidly, but having seen a fair number of animal vaginas in my day (thanks, internet) I have to say that the human vagina is by far the most aesthetically appealing.

Let's just take our victory lap at having the best vulva and not fuck with perfection.

The variety of flowers out there aside, the human vulva and everything encapsulated by the colloquialisms therein, are far and away the most attractive.

@sun
Think a large language model could crack it?

I'd bet someone's already on it.

@mint @i @feld @p @j @KuteboiCoder
That makes sense, really.

If fragmentation is sin, then random reads/writes are to be avoided.

The challenge with this OS is that it forces a new paradigm for how things are used: imagine not the internet, but some other way in which computers connect and communicate, why they would need to, and how that would happen without the complex and somewhat pointless ideas of modern internet.

Protocols aren't golden hammers, but they try to be.
