Took you long enough! ;>
PHP is fine. The unwashed army of jerkoffs that turboshit on useful tools whilst swallowing even greater disease carrying diarrhea, on the other hand, are a problem -- they're everywhere, and they multiply too fast for the Undecimvirate alone to hunt down and slay.
It is for this reason that we tried recruiting young talent into the ranks of the Order, but to our absolute disgust, their minds have already been corrupted: they daily-drive jailcell-wall-aperture 11, rely entirely on bloated ass IDEs that take half an hour just to boot, and cannot read ELF object dumps no matter how hard we tried to teach; we were forced to execute them out of mercy.
Were was I? Ah yes, gonorrhea-infected aqueous defecation. While everybody was distracted shitting on an unworthy foe, the idiocy of walruses remained unchecked, and now they cannot be stopped by any nation alone; we must unite in this battle for the future of toasters or face imminent death.
Walruses. -
Dude. Eddie Money is great.
In my "youth", I used to lay down and just listen to Van Halen's debut album, whilst high as fuck on paraguayan reefer, which is kind of like crack cocaine. Good times. -
@djsumdog It was bit of an accident, really. I started out listing source folders and emitting makefiles, no big deal doing it with a script.
But then I started adding features, did away with make entirely. The script got bigger, so I chopped it up into modules. This kept going for a while, honestly it was all a huge mistake. I should've just done everything in C.
Anyway, I wrote this abomination system to replace an IDE, visual studio to be precise. It does that and more, so it's OK if seen from that angle. I still have to rewrite it though. Someday... -
@NickyBones I have no qualms about condemning the persecution of jews; it's unquestionable historical fact. I've recognized as much during this exchange, going as far as using your own word for catastrophe, so that you may understand.
Not once have you shown as much as the inclination to do the same. To the contrary, you defend the establishment of "Israel", which in and of itself is tied to our dispossession. Do you not understand?
You, the self-proclaimed conciliator, who pats herself on the back, and completely disregards the root of the problem, are incapable of brokering even the faintest sense of peace with someone as small and powerless as I am. Every single time, __this__ is what reasoning with a zionist looks like: an exercise in futility.
I am a baker, for fuck's sake. Never held a gun, unlike you, and never once told anyone to pick one up. Why are you accusing me?
It doesn't matter; you're but a fart in the wind. -
@NickyBones Khayti, four hours is too little when your entire life's work amounts to nothing. You __seriously__ believe '48 palestinians have equal rights? Do not take me for a fool.
I would feel pity, were you not so despicable, and showing so little effort. Let me clarify: this is you telling me just how truthful your "coexistence" spiel is. There is exactly one reason I can be considered a westerner, but I won't sink to your level and sob about it.
Neither would my answer for 'Shoah' be 'Nakba', no matter how unlikely it is that your kin or you yourself would reciprocate. I faced you with this question deliberately, and you have -- once again -- demonstrated to me the falseness of your position.
Nothing further. -
@NickyBones Re-read a bit: I did not defend the shameful, duplicitous CCP. I adviced you to accuse them of crimes that government officials themselves would be at fault for, which makes for a stronger case.
You, however, are very much defending "Israel" -- a fool's errand. I don't know what TikTok even is, my source is people either kicked out of their homes or currently living in the concentration camp that the criminal army you served in gleefully bombs every few years.
What is the argument there? Genesis 12:1-3? Come on, it's colonialism. Herzl himself admitted as much. And the unquestionable persecution jews have historically faced in no way justifies what zionists did and continue to do. Moreso, it makes it all the more heinous, that descendants of those who faced this persecution would imitate and even surpass the cruelty of the nazis.
Just in case I haven't made it clear enough for you, fuck Israel, fuck China and fuck the UAE. Heartless pieces of shit. -
@NickyBones It was implemented in 1979, and the very first exceptions I can find date to 1980, with way more than half the population being exempt from the original limit by 1985. Ammendments to the policy were made pretty much from the start.
Point being I would look at what a government is actually at fault for when critizicing it. Their dealings with nazis, as you've kindly pointed out, is entirely factual and thus perfectly valid critique.
As for the improper spelling, it is a sign of disrespect to the army with a state built on an ethnic cleansing; censored like the curse on humanity that it is. Would you be more comfortable if I referred to the illegitimate colonial state by writing the name between quotes? I certainly wouldn't want to offend a member of the priviledged class in an apartheid system.
Unless you refused serving in the occupation military, in which case I would respect you, then your grand posturing is just that. Hypocritical and ultimately meaningless. -
@retoor Not a day goes by that I don't regret every poor decision that has led me to writing systems in devil-speak.
-
@NickyBones Tangent: the one-child policy did not legalize neither child abandonment nor infanticide -- those are, rightfully, punishable by law. You are blaming a government that legislates __against__ these practices for the unlawful acts of civilian criminals.
We can argue against policies and denounce states for crimes that they *did* in fact incite or commit, but we cannot degrade ourselves like this. We're men of science, dammit.
As for the UAE, it all matters very little when you're normalizing relations with Isr*el, the shining bastion of freedom and democracy; but bombs with the female sign and rainbow flags are bombs all the same, performative is a very forgiving way of putting it. More like deceitful.
Needless to say, it's disgusting Goebbels all the way down, deliberately overwhelming one with propaganda so that through sheer fatigue he loses the will to critically think about what is being presented: they don't do the ==equality== so they deserve to die. -
@jestdotty It sadly leans too strong towards erroneous and premature diagnosis followed by years-long processes that will only fuck you up, that much is true.
Some people do the thing, you know, 'raise awareness' to address the superficial issue -- like a negative social attitude -- while ignoring how getting legit treatment is hard, which is the real problem.
So folks simply direct one, with good intentions, to get help or whatever. I suppose their experience with this is different. But there is a particular effect, a rare, perpetual state of consciousness that they cannot engage with because they don't know it. So one under this spell is implicitly cut off, in essence, not necessarily in the biblical sense.
But look, senses and thoughts can be very fucking deceiving, and its tough for oneself to make judgements on it. Thats the underlying principle as to why someone else must be involved, yet it cannot be anybody as there's a lot of trust involved, so back to square one. fuk -
@retoor Late to the party, and my apologies in advance, but as the elected by fucking no-one representative of the Arcane Fuckwits Association I'm morally and legally bound to inform you that one can go *without* braces OR indentation -- all it takes is __one__ fucking END keyword to terminate blocks when there's more than one level of nesting.
But we may then ask: why have a SINGLE additional keyword, as opposed to NONE, if indentation does the trick just fine? A good question. Try doubling the indentation for a couple lines in a loop, or accidentally mixing spaces and tabs on an editor stupid enough not to highlight the mistake. Shoot, why bother: we all know unprintable characters are easy to spot. If you replace them with `········` long long flying ellipses or similar, that is.
In essence, the crackhead's manual to ultimate power dictates that a blank character's function should be limited to the mere separation of tokens, and we base this in absolutely nothing. -
@jestdotty Being reductive, the job of a psych dude is being chill and attentively listening to you to then try and help with organizing your thoughts, or give you an outside perspective at the very least, and sometimes drugs; it's not really a paid pretend friendship, though I get where you're coming from with this observation.
I've never sought or visited one out of my own will, most I've met are bullshiters through-and-through. My dad would be the exception, he's quite a lovable, knowledgeable and sensible guy. Doesn't speak a single word of english though, I'm just mentioning the man cause he's pretty cool.
But anyhoo, though I agree that many illnesses would not be as widespread in a less alienating social structure, do note that they would still exist. Some schizophrenics, or at least those on the 'I think I met God' frequency (I love you Karin), do a lot better after seeing a non-bullshit psych. You can't just cure them with friendship is what I mean. Believe me, we tried. -
We'd need to develop __much__ higher computing power, nevermind that energy production -- and consumption -- is part of the equation; both lines of research may just hit a dead end, whatever is theoretically possible wouldn't factor for shit at that point.
And I say "possible" as in maybe, hypotetically, absolute hyperbole, perhaps in the future we figure out just enough about the mind to build more efficient abstractions; but it's out there with interstellar travel, at that speed it takes years to deaccelerate and one fucking stray pebble fucks up your entire ship. Space junk!
Someday, "not there yet" itself has to be questioned. Rate of technological development isn't a constant, and it certainly cannot grow indefinitely because fucking nothing works that way. Shit, we might even want to prepare ourselves for the idea that it might just stop altogether for a few years.
My apologies, I began ranting and forgot my point. -
"stuck at 12 year old shit poster"
"willingness to sound retarded"
I think we may be related. -
Could be that they know this and are just trying to fuck with us.
-
@Ranchonyx I'm more or less running such a campaign; I have a whole ass sword and sorcery setting, custom ruleset and all, mostly inside my head. It's high fantasy, but the fabric of time was shattered and there's all sorts of anachronistic retrofuturistic shit going on.
It's fun because there's wizards, so you can make crazy shit sound plausible. Like how the sea is actually outer space, sailing is stepping through a massive portal, and different continents are in fact different planets. Antique guns and machinery aren't questioned then. So if the players want to skip travel they can just take a fucking train from one city to another. -
Technically I'm a sapient revenant, or lich, and this Ryzen 3 is merely my phylactery; utilizing it to haunt the interwebz is only symbolical.
-
@12bitfloat Not too long ago, the mere act of compiling shaders would cause an unrecoverable GPU crash on my end. Sometimes, just __launching__ Blender would cause this.
I thought my chip was fried, but no. This was (indirectly) fixed by a system update months later. There was a mesa incompatibility, *exclusive* to Blender; no other program I tested -- 3D game or editor -- was affected.
What I mean to say is this absolutely unreasonable how in the name of fuck could it even be possible is just par for the course, and for this reason, the devs have been sentenced to patching CMakeLists for the rest of their lives. Even Brecht. Specially Brecht. -
@jestdotty I don't know. There's not a lot of positions I can *confidently* apply for, as they always list a dozen requirements I could not even begin to bullshit, frameworks and the like. So maybe I'll send out a few from time to time and get no answer, or be directly contacted by a recruiter and __then__ get no answer.
The few times I make it to an interview, they ask me about my projects and experience, and so I have to explain to the poor HR girl what a compiler is. She likely walks away from that thinking I'm mentally unstable, but no, it's all true. I teach calculators how to read!!!
Or maybe they'll have me do a "technical evaluation", that is, solve a contrived and poorly worded math problem on a hackerrank-like site that doesn't even let me tab out to my terminal, or God forbid, explain my reasoning to a human. Fucked if I've ever passed one of those.
Yeah, now that I think about it, I barely apply for shit. It's just demoralizing. -
I used to edit videos and work with scenes in and around 1M tris in the v2.79 days, when all I had was decade old hardware; later versions were, invariably, absolutely unusable for the exact same workload.
This obviously shouldn't happen. I was mad enough at one point that I thought of just looking at the source to see what the fuck was going on -- then I looked at the source, vomited, and decided I was OK with the older version. -
I know a grand total of *one* item within Mr. Marx's resume, that being dialectical historicism, which is just plain stupid and a convoluted mess of crazy ideas developed by 19th century bourgeois wankers, so no further comment.

Counterpoint: you can spend years developing a language and it won't come out any better. I can attest to this ;>
JS is __kind-of__ acceptable in tiny doses. It's a more dramatic form of the typical high-level problem, where something is easy to use but you can't build too much complexity without it crumbling on itself. I can attest to this too, I wrote a compiler in Perl for fuck's sake.
So what's the solution? Should we go back to micro-optimizing every last function on a per-operation basis? For systems, yes -- that is the only proper way. You can have it done right, or you can have it done fast; corporate wants growth so we'll go with fast, that is, easy in the short-term, but most assuredly an obelisk of putrefact dung in the long-term, so ultimately unsustainable which again is on-brand for corporate.
Hmmm. Now that I think about it, rioting might actually be the smart play here. Bring out the guillotine! -
Learn assembly and compiler design. Most models suck balls at both and will for the foreseeable future.
EDIT: oh you said webdev, nevermind. You're fucked. -
Nonsense; the very image of Genesis befittingly postulates the <I> of Evil as he which precedes the immortal's triumph and divine domain, signaled by man's sin and incapability for ineffable vociferation save through the catalyst of consecrated synthesis -- death even-eyed uppon my enemies, as annihilation spares none, neither will <I> with both hands bloodstained deny what's been prescribed by the blackness of my own heart.
So let them mourn as I've mourned, for soon their sorrows will be too great to bear, and greater still, 'til their very souls lie numb and pale. Oh, the terror [we] henceforth call into descent, to titter as the roots of Creation feast on our bones and entrails...
Doom is heavenly: alike a gateway to the fool and wise. Mercy is forgotten to the unforgiven, child -- bolt or perish, pray as prey do that the <I> remains blind, but Evil lurks all the same.
And it. Is. Watching. -
He ripped the galaxy a whole new fucking asshole with this, my respects.
-
Put on a big smile and say "let's hope it doesn't replace you too!" and then giggle innocently; 100% guaranteed to get you fired.
-
@lungdart Statistically proven that it just __might__ kill you!
-
@lungdart Did he take into account the number of fatalities caused *by* these features? ;>
-
lmao. They've always sucked, are we just finding out?
-
Imagine getting yourself killed by idiotic shit like this. First law of robotics my fucking ass.
