@ramin_hal9001 I recall reading that people choose external methods instead of hot code reloads (which probably suits a soft real-time system more).

Scheme man pages? Yes!
https://github.com/schemedoc/manpages
The abundance of man pages is one of the reasons Perl is great. All the packages also serve as man pages!
I miss this aspect in all other programming languages.
@monstreline Instagram or Whatsapp seems mandatory for small business nowadays.

@_elena Personally, I would honestly rather see public institutions offering a variety of ways to access what they publish.
Including easily located full-text RSS feeds through platforms they control. (Minimal third parties in between them and the people who want to access the information.)
And yes, Fediverse and their own web sites.

@Amorpheus @aral @_elena @vicfroh About paywalls I'm giving subscriptions systems more possibilities. We must think of it. Writing or creating videos genuinely, cost. So paywalls are a way to work. Then, yes, if you have a clickbait or misunderstandable/false abstract to force you to pay, that's called scam

When you post things on Instagram, Facebook, and X, this is what they look like to people who don’t use those platforms.

@clemensprill Wouldn't that be nice? This person has done exactly what the business has asked them to do. By telling them that LLM-generated code is bad, I am doing what company does not want done. I'm the bad guy here.

@cwebber just to throw a fun little counterpoint as devil's advocate: humans are also story machines.

Yeah, OK, we're more than just that, but it's an interesting thought. See also Zombies (philosophy).

If it were me I'd rather have a planet with oxygen and water to live on but hey you do you, sparky.

Caroline Crampton on what it is like to manage and read almost 2,000 RSS feeds.
Somehow, still using RSS, which is a beautifully simple bit of tech from the early days of the web, makes you part of a community of like-minded strangers.

Putting lots of swear words into my code so that LLMs refuse to interact with it.

@coderCyclist internal-use software development sounds like a great opportunity to be motivated/rewarded for doing it well. It usually goes unutilized, usually by a department dedicated to it which instead just "buys IBM" so to speak.
@sigismundninja my response was bare enough to be misconstrued, indeed. Specifying a use-case might help. What kind of code is slow? I only dabble a little in Erlang (and Prolog), but they do claim Erlang works for 1 desktop app https://wings3d.com
@sigismundninja isn't context missing in this poser?

@lxo this played, and is still playing, out in cultural norms (atleast in India); laissez faire safeguards for individuality are championed alongside disdain for traditional norms favouring safeguards for community.
