So after 1 - 2 weeks doing a lot of #perl i don't get why people say write once language? Its not more ugly than lets say #python or #php or even #js. It's diffrent but in no means ugly or harder than other languages. What do i miss? Yeah i get people obsest with writing the smallest code can write pretty awefull onliners but on the other side its like an hiku or a small poem and by no means you should use that in production or in big applications. You dont use a poem to write a book right?

@jonny i've lost a lot of faith in humanity due to this and also all the other incidents that happend like edward snowden, epstin, cumex and all other stuff i don't want to get into detail. But this showed me the public is not interessted in what happens to them and who controlls their lifes and yet i have no clue how to tackle this problem besides better education. But this is also rigged :/. Cyberpunk here we come

@cwebber lisp is fast cause if you get past that paren bias you'll see that lisp mostly reads like english and working with it is like discussing a problem with the computer. You explore your problem space. It not even broadens your insight into the problem itself but also gives you new ideas. The real impact is that you understand your problem better while using the repl. I've used other languages where you thought a lot but achived little and in the and often failed cause you gave missed one little thing that you couldnt test cause you had to implement a lot beforehand. So imho lisp is like talking to the computer and try to solve your problem in babysteps and give you deep insights in how you solve stuff. I love it

@RussSharek wait what this thing is really a thing a cronjob that sends you a message in a given time. Wow thats really a downfall of humanity.
I even don't understand why so many people lose the connection to tech.

@Maristya zu meiner zeit war pluto ein planet :D und in der schule sagte man mir das das bohrsche atommodel der shit sei was im studium direkt zerschlagen wurde und behauptet wurde das bohr schon seit jahrzehnten veraltet sei -.-

@simon_brooke @pluralistic "AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations" pure gold!

@amszmidt @ksaj @glitzersachen @loke i guess this is due the fact that lisp has a crazy load of core libraries that do a bunch of stuff. Like stringp loop macro ...

@loke @mdallastella i've seen some cobol but i have never written some on my own.

You know i'm this old that i still think #jenkins is one of the best ci cd tools ever build. Besides makefiles ;). But why do people still tell you that gitlab and github cicd are the best. Imho #jenkins was and is feature complete and even if not you can easily extend it. It proofs itself all the time even with the "cloud". Over and out.

@amszmidt @autiomaa but isn't defun a macro. Imho macros doesn't have to obey the law of the lisp language due to the fact that it is specifically build to create domain specific languages that have in my experience diffrent rules. Or am i wrong? That just came to my mind as i was reading your toot.

@aral i'm currently considering to write an calander service like calendly in php or lisp no clue yet but this would be hosted in germany if there is any interest

@feld wait top down i cannot compute. I never met a person who is doing such a thing

@shinmera i never understood the switch yeah legacy and stuff but it was said way easier and faster can't see it. Yeah whats cool is the firmware update but i guess that could have also be done with bios if you would have tried

@feld i can only repeat its so cruel to see that and think about it xD but anyway i would have done the same with my wife just to see her face xD

@feld oh my god you .... how dare you thats just pure evil

Anyone using #guix as his main os ? Just wanted to hear about how its going and maybe does anyone have a good intro to luks and lvm2 with guix

@feld this entire elon and jeff and all the other buying everything really feels like in those economy simulations like openttd where you have so much money that you can literary buy and do shit whatever you want and can't use. Even if its not economic. Sounds like this system doesn't work well

Want to get away from cloud and all their talk about hyperscale? I doubt that more than 1 - 2% of companies need that massive scaleablity. Imho our field need more #fullstack one man army style of frameworks. Doing a #webservice shouldn't be hard like it is today with all its #microservices and #kubernetes and aws lambdas. #Developers need to build trust on them and should be professional in saying i know what my stuff is doing. Just imagine a craftsman who always tells that he has no clue and how wierd his craft is. No one would put trust on them. And thats whats currently happening with all those #layoffs and #ai stuff.

i just wonder what happened to the space game from notch the creator of minecraft? It was a really great idea imho would be a shame if it just was dropped. It even was cooler than starcitizen imho #minecraft #starcitizen #games #indygames
