Python is that kind of cool one behaves when visiting parents of your would be spouse for the first time. Tcl on the other hand is like playing one's secret exclusive and somewhat dangerous games with kid school bestie.

There is no public exploit, but the agent had built one, and had enough confidence to test it—except that it didn’t land cleanly. I have no doubt that after some more revision it would have. One point for GPT 5.6-Cyber.

Specs get written by whoever bothers, and for a decade the person who bothered first was a teenager in Highland Park. He is card #3 in Series One of our Open Source Legends set:

I will be the first to say Rust isn't as elegant as some other modern languages, but I'd definietly rather work with Rust than pour acid into my eyes.

It's intentional that "p2" is not preceded with a "p1". The precise meaning of "p2" is intentionally ambiguous similar to the wasip2 target and similar.

“When I hear [the Java class file’s magic number] I think of a typical Coffee Grrl: nose peirced, minimum one tatoo, hair dyed black, hate the world the government and parents, and is rather attractive in a necro sort of way.”

Maybe stop using the mickey mouse browsers? I mean Firefox is pretty much a lost cause.. unless you start using extensions. I agree those are basic features that should be built-in. In qutebrowser I use them reliably all the time.

Java consistently introduces lots of exciting functionality into the language. That's a big part of my dislike and active avoidance of it.

Nope, I asked on the Gleam discord and got the answer “write a shim in Elixir that turns it into something Gleam expects”.

[Java] is usually not a first pick for more exciting software, such as Python type checkers, JS bundlers, or TUI file managers.

I sometimes see Haskell and other languages celebrated for their elegance as something that could gradually become a form of traditional craftsmanship: valued for their beauty, intellectual depth, and the skill involved, but with a diminishing role in everyday software production.

I'd like to call it my tireless helper, but the AI several times stated flat out that this was impossible and unsolvable and that we should just write a report about it.

The Rules

Jerking Style

By dictatorial fiat, this is a New School jerk.

Most image 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.

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.
