I'm a known .yml lover

what is the most tasty file format?

.txt for example doesn't taste like anything

.xml though is like a little treat, but you can't have too much

.pdf is an acquired taste

ok insane programming take:

Python is less usable than JavaScript after the initial learning curve

^ objectively bad take but I hate Python and love JS

well at least you're self-aware

I 100% agree with the criticism that the central problem with "AI"/LLM evangelism is that people pushing it fundamentally do not value labour, but I often see it phrased with a caveat that they don't value labour except for writing code, and... like, no, they don't value the labour that goes into writing code, either. Tech grifter CEOs have been trying to get rid of programmers within their organisations for years – long before LLMs were a thing – whether it's through algorithmic approaches, "zero coding" development platforms, or just outsourcing it all to overseas sweatshops. The only reason they haven't succeeded thus far is because every time they try, all of their toys break. They pretend to value programming as labour because it's the one area where they can't feasibly ignore the fact that the outcomes of their "disruption" are uniformly shit, but they'd drop the pretence in a heartbeat if they could.

Programming is so funny. It says

"ERROR: int can not be converted to a string"

And you're just like "oh, okay. *adds ".ToString()" to the end*"

"Alright that's okay ^w^"

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Getting Anaconda to run on linux was so much easier than trying to get it to run on windows. That's because penguins (a bird) move faster than windows (usually a part of a building)

I heart all the jupyter book devs but pray tell why did you have to use the yaml format for the toc files

Surely someone's made something better by now

Have you read the new file? It's on nano. It's literally on vim. It's on less without editing. It's literally on Elvis. You can probably find it with grep. Dude it's on Arachnophilia. It's a Geany original. It's on sed. You can read it on sed. You can go to sed and read it. Log onto sed right now. Go to sed. Dive into sed. You can sed it. It's on sed. sed has it for you. sed has it for you.

That is, in fact, the correct nickname for that package

Good morning friends, remember to import all packages BEFORE you start your programming and not after. This makes the cell numbers go up and that makes the kernel sad :(

maybe the real linux distros were the friends we made along the way

What's the story with VLC?

"we don't know how many people download our software 'cause that's fucking spying"

"one of the largest open source projects that's still in the 'hippy way "

incredible lol. I love this.
