@tk at least if you believe people who have no idea how it works.

@TechConnectify @DeShawnFranco we may not have xitter's filtering rules, but please don't let a vocal minority shape your opinion about the network.
I'm glad SSDs are a thing now, but the short period when downloading something from the Internet could be faster than reading it from your hard drive was pretty funny.
@icedquinn with a short attention span both reading and writing seem easier than recording and listening. For me for sure at least.

I miss written tutorials. I hate how every tutorial is a YouTube now. I don’t want to watch 15 minutes and forget to pay attention for the second that has the detail that I am missing or it just doesn’t show. Even short tutorials are 3 minutes when it could have been a ten second read. I want to skim a page and go directly to the point. Has writing really become that hard to do?

The Financial Times have had Henry Kissinger's obituary prepared for so long that one of the people who wrote it died in 1999.
But to top that off, the man who wrote that author's obituary also passed before Kissinger, in March of 2022.
@freemo makes sense, but it's not even readable and breaks my web UI :D Also this was supposed to be a reply to https://mas.to/@pkalbers/111502221591441892 but didn't work right for some reason. That might've been me clicking the wrong thing though, but check it out yourself.
QOTO's latex rendering seems to not work well for full document definitions lol
@freemo look
@nixCraft print("Hello World!")
@stux thicker walls might add to the feeling of solid confined space alike the IRL spaces it was based on, the thin walls seem less oppressive and somewhat fake. Just my 2 cents, this is cool.
@sanket143 god I love open source software unconstrained by corporate soullessness.
@codefolio @katafrakt the processes+threads honestly still sound like a major downgrade compared to actor models of things like Scala or the Erlang family (and it seems Ractors if they ever happen), where concurrency is intuitive to implement and a first-class element of the language, and all internal functionality is thread-safe (this part seems to not entirely be the case for Scala lol) and GIL-less by default.
Not enough to warrant abandoning Ruby like when it was single-threaded, mind you, but enough to make something like Elixir strongly preferred over it if you're choosing the technology to start with.
@katafrakt what's the current concurrency model of modern RoR?
@dosnostalgic damn, as a kid I was shocked by christmas lights with the insulation worn out on both sides of the plug, but that's nothing compared to your experience. Glad you're alive.
@icedquinn @freemo sweet jesus Pooh, that's not honey! You're eating Modern Monetary Theory!
Inflation depends purely on the supply of currency in circulation. To be able to "take away" money via taxes to counteract inflation caused by "infinitely printing" money they'd have to destroy the tax money or at least never spend it, ever. This entire theory is a very roundabout way of stating the simple fact that "government takes taxes to fund its spending" in a way that justifies either a) "muh economy is bullshit, let's print more money to make everyone rich" or b) "muh economy is bullshit and just a pretend tool of the authoritarian government to do what it wants".
MMM is interesting because it's used on both sides of the political spectrum in an attempt to mask bad economy takes.
