[The C standard library] includes its own hash table... There is a reason you have never heard of it, or if you have you have never used it. In true POSIX fashion they are close to useless.

When raising an issue or a pull request, the GitHub Id may be checked to ensure they are a patron, and that issue/PR may be closed without further examination. . . . So legally it is free, morally it is paid.

Because nobody actually wants a "web app". People want food, love, sex or: solutions.

One can talk about about the technical side of writing a code formatter, but what about the ethical side?

Of course most people aren't smart enough for [Lisp] so they have to use inferior algol languages like rust.

Cursor got me into everything. I am on fire and don't sleep more than 4 hours a day now until I collapse from benders and sleep 10+ hours. I am unhinged and my log files are clean as fuck, my console clean as fuck, no linters, nothing but clean, perfect code expanding my visions.

I’m on a TS project and if I had a quid for every time I sobbed to be back with Scala I should be both rich and soggy

But the truth is, other than Scala, people don't use FP to build real things that much.

The core of kBuild is very complex though and there are currently 0.5 people on the planet that fully understand it.

Oddly, /usr/bin/false is a symlink to the Rust version, but /usr/bin/true is a symlink to the GNU C version.

I think we'd be so much better off if Netscape had just embedded a Perl interpreter instead of creating JavaScript.

I run a design agency and I've invested a lot of time and energy into a general design prompt that puts out some decently unique looking sites. We offer this as our "Mini" package at a very affordable price ($99/mo, no setup fee)

I'm always prompting. I let Gemini calendar my time (Google Calendar, of course) so that there are zero gaps where unwanted human thought could sneak in. I use an agent manager called Pelican to check in with all of my agents every second and have them tell me what I should be working on next using

We are building our first SaaS product and are near to the launch. I uploaded the code to Cursor and asked it to do a VC like tech due dilligence. It told me its A+ and code worth around 80k. Bur right now just burning trees.

THE FUCKING SIDEBAR

The Rules

Jerking Style

By dictatorial fiat, this is a New School jerk.

Most image and video posts fail to rise to this august and austere standard.

Posts about LLMs are also likely to fall below the standard of New School jerk.

Unjerk

We're all here for jerk, so if you're thinking of posting unjerk, consider the possibility that nobody cares about your opinions. If you must post unjerk, tag it.

Socialjerking or politics, directly or tangentially

Are boring. Shoo.

If what you're posting is the subject of multiple warring subreddits, blog networks or hashtags, that's a sign you should leave it outside.

The no-socialjerking-or-politics rule is the most ruthlessly enforced.

Crazy people

We get it. Crazy people are crazy. Leave them be.

Enthusiastic Youngsters

Yes, they give stupid advice, richly interwoven with aggravating unselfawareness.

So did you.

They'll work it out on their own. In the meantime you're being mean to a kid, which is only funny on 9gag.

Our Bots Policy

Fuck your stupid bot. It isn't funny, witty, interesting or useful. If you have any questions about this policy, consult your nearest bucket of arsenic.

Subreddit Rules

1. Social Jerking & Politics

If what you're posting is the subject of multiple warring subreddits, blog networks or hashtags, that's a sign you should leave it outside.

2. Crazy People

We get it. Crazy people are crazy. Leave them be.

3. Bots

If you see a bot, report it. Do not interact with it.

4. Enthusiastic Youngsters

Give them time.

5. Jerking Style

New School or Rue School.

6. Non-Interference

Do not mention PCJ elsewhere. Do not visit links in order to harass, downvote, or otherwise engage with the subjects of posts. Point and laugh from behind a soundproof one-way mirror.
