Friendship ended with proofs. Now programs is my best friend.

@r000t Easily passing the 15 year mark on some of mine...

As a computer scientist, I dislike programming languages that tell me what to do.

So, Java, Haskell, and Rust have interesting ideas... But I do not like programming in them.

I also think idiomatic programming is a garbage idea. It is an evolved version of tabs-vs-spaces. Seriously, code how you want, and use a traspiler to get it in your company's standard form.

Scientific disciplines are like sports teams, and it is weird.

I have a theoretical physicist that does not believe in infinity. So he is a physics guy instead of a mathematician.

And I have a computer science guy that says all math is constructed. So he is a computer scientist instead of a mathematician.

The search for truth is really just the search for narrative.

My old university used to be about half a decade behind. So it feels like an improvement. Lol

Looks like they should switch platforms. There are a lot of art platforms.

Also machine parsing is not the speed bottleneck in most situations. So outside of trying to understand parsing, it is not too important.

Programmers are pretty free to invent whatever. Parser generators can figure out an optimal parse strategy based on the grammar given. And if you want semantic analysis, this means parsing and translating multiple times.

So you can use languages like Racket to construct your own language. The parsing process will still be too fast to notice suboptimality.

Now I think it is Russia or China from the USA again.

Fearing mega countries is normal. The petro-war mongering was kind of weird politics.

@vyivel

Takes hours to compile too, due to using Rust and general bloat.

@chjara@mk.absturztau.be

Much more a feature than a bug.

@stux

Less than public usually. Datamining should be consentual.

:blobfoxcofe: Coffee definetly helps.

Prefinals week here. Hang onto your butts.
