Parser generators seem to have the longest unbroken losing streak in programming history.
Flight sims are cool. But what about flight sim radio sims?
An interactive lesson in RF, inspired by @BCiechanowski:

Anybody on here—and there are a lot of them—pretending there is zero difference between the government tearing up its Anthropic contract and the government trying to make it so Anthropic can't do business with ANYONE is either a gigantic mark or thinks you are.

I’m now a single issue voter around the rule of law.
I don’t care about your preferred policy. I don’t even care if you’re right about the law. I just care that you make a good faith effort to know and adhere to the law, especially the Constitutional law structuring government.
Who among us doesn't love thing.isString/Num/Bool/Array/Value()? It's not like there's any other way to express that.

[1/2] My @BetterSoftwareC talk is up! It's called "The Big OOPs: Anatomy of a Thirty-Five Year Mistake". I went through a mountain of historical documents to put this beast together. Only a small fraction of my research could be featured directly in the talk...
You hate systemd because "it violates the Unix philosophy".
I hate systemd because it fucked up log rotation on production boxes by overwriting my config with random undocumented constants picked by Lennart himself.
We are not the same.
Spurious wakeups aren't real and can't hurt you.

When I say it's easier to understand assembly language than web "tech", I'm not kidding. Assembly is by its nature simple and limited. Standard web technologies are sprawling, ill-defined, and massively overcomplicated for what they do. If you can learn React, you can learn ASM.
The arm assembly implementation of @reactjs server components, fully compatible with the Node.js alternative, is ten times shorter than a single package-lock.json file.
It's about a THOUSAND times less code than what's needed to run it in node.js.
We've taken the wrong path.

As Carlson gets celebrity treatment in Moscow, Russia just extended the detention of American journalist Alsu Kurmasheva & Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich.
Those defending Carlson should reflect on why Carlson is getting unfettered access while others get detained.
Why is the preeminent Rust HTTP library sitting on a bunch of unsafe rewrites of standard library tools? Isn't this the language where we get fastness *and* correctness out of the box?

We use GC so our code can go fast.
