I fucking love seeing Americans implicitly declare the entire rest of the world to be non-humans in their attempts to seem progressive.

If you think patriarchy is white, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

Game recognizes game.

It doesn’t, it shifts responsibility at best.

The Deal-Breaker

vim.pack has no event/filetype/command-based lazy loading. None. You either load at startup or you manually call :packadd in your config yourself.

Oh, so it’s sane and doesn’t try to bullshit it’s way out of plugin authors’ incompetence?

I’m sold!

The two are not mutually exclusive.

Sexual attractiveness also doesn’t mean sexual drive. One doesn’t need to be gay to understand that a man is sexually attractive in the way they find compelling. A desire to look good is all it takes.

For the company, the problem is already solved.

IIRC the goal wasn’t to have a loyal workforce, but to have an army that isn’t dependent on a small number of elites.

Basically “we won’t stop with the death of our officers, our soldiers can step up to the occasion”.

«гр.» is for grams

Senior backend engineering definitely doesn’t see 99% windows adoption rate.

Well, they do it Japanese style - by forcing developers to leave due to burnout.

I’m working with a legacy codebase for the last few months, where a simple PR often ends up crossing a 1000 lines count due to testing and commenting, and I can’t stop apologizing for those.

Yet there are people out there bragging about 10x changesets.

Kids the days… are entirely relatable.

I made my statement as a BDD/TDD practitioner.

The code goal of software engineering is not to deliver said code, but to deliver it in a framework that lets others—and consequently me in a week’s time—to contribute easily. This makes both future improvements and bug fixes easier.

Dumping a ~25000 lines changeset with a git history that’s almost designed to confuse is antithetical to both engineering and open source.

The size of that changeset means that it’s inherently unreviewable.

The commit history is something I’ve seen only in the PRs that even the most dysfunctional companies would demand a rewrite for.

Also, 2-3 weeks review? PostgreSQL support could be added in that time without the need for a damn „vibe check”. Hell, it would probably take less time than that.

Let’s face it the only reason you’re saying “coding is a practical use case” is because you yourself don’t code, and don’t understand it.

Usually only the last statement is true.

Any feature relying on a willing cooperation of every node in the network is impossible to enforce.

Sure, it should be attempted, but don’t expect it to actually matter against actors that just don’t give a fuck.

But how could you possibly know anything about things you and your family personally suffered through? Silly little barbarian…

we age due to our telemere buffer shortening

Telomere shortening is a marker and there is a correlation, but aging is a process that happens on multiple levels and many of those aren’t fixable by DNA restoration.

We experience wear and tear, we accumulate damage, we accumulate waste, we lose body parts, we constantly fuse our bones together, we have body parts that grow surrounded by tissues capable of maintaining them but then operate outside of them, the list goes on.

But most importantly, death is such a beneficial feature, that it outcompeted everything else. Producing new generation of individuals regularly is a simple and terrifyingly effective solution to a vast array of problems. Many aspects of aging can be seen as adaptations to inevitability of procreation and death.

That aside, I like pointing people at professor Michael Levin’s work. Be very skeptical, as it’s a small field in a world that goes through reproducibility crisis, but it does fill me with a cautious hope.

Why the fuck is the very first sentence not a link to the goddamn proposal being discussed? Are they trying to look sketchy to anyone with a habit of informational hygiene?
