Do you do all that before or after you go to college, get married, buy a house for white picket fence, have three children, rank up at your 9:00 to 5:00, and lock down your pension?
Cuz I got to be honest I'm not really sure if the past is really much of a path
Where sorry that being my voice keyboard and I
Which side is telling us that these are the sides. I'm not disagreeing with either of the sides but I kind of feel like there's chirality to every political opinion.
I kind of wish we'd get some copilot discounts if we opt in
At my stock brokerage we keep talking about how we can bring AI to our customers but we can't do that without the compliance dude throwing a fit about "noooooooooooooo you can't recommend trades to customers,,,, ssstttoooooooooppppp then we become responsible for their decisions guuuyyyssss" (he doesn't talk like that but it sounds like that to me)
I recently brought up the idea of using AI for trade support and giving it all sorts of tools to access internal assets and help customers fix their accounts or figure out what happened to their order,, shit like that.
I work at a stock brokerage and I can confirm this is exactly the screen layouts these people have. By these people I'm talking about day traders I don't actually know what this person is doing.
And yes they do look across all of those screens. I sat next to a guy who had six screens arranged in 3x2, the way he explained it he has all sorts of programs mostly in the domains of communication and news and he doesn't even look at the other screens but when something moves it triggers his peripheral vision and he acts on it. Another day trader I know has nine screens in 3x3 but he only uses the bottom half of his screen real estate because he can't read the top, he just likes having a big rectangular-like screen.
It's all about peripheral vision to these kinds of professionals. They are 100% not looking at all of those screens, they just need to set up things to react to.
This guy is a meme though nobody is reacting to something happening right above your head.
When will we prolls wrap our heads around the fact that we have been excluded from the Democratic process by the electoral vote. Not trying to be mean or sarcastic I'm just looking for a timeline.
Neither party is going to let a third party in.
I feel like this is the exact proto-fascist thought virus that makes Americans American. Political parties are not supposed to permit other political parties to hold power,, even if that's not how you intended to communicate the inability of a third parties to win,, it's still a Freudian slip.
If not voting for one political party is an implicit vote for the "opposite" party then there is no party, there is no choice. It's like making the choice to eat or not, there's no choice if you don't eat you die. If you don't vote Democrat you vote Republican, therefore there is no choice (Unless you think it's possible to choose death which I don't think is possible if I want to be consistent with my values).
Even though we know that democracy is not mathematically possible we do know that certain democracies are more democratic than other democracies.
We need preferential voting if we want to improve the situation but if our goal is to go maximum anarco-democracy then just look to that one episode of the Orville where they encountered a people practicing absolute democracy, good show and poignant episode, BAD OUTCOME.
Imo someone needs to be in charge and that someone has to be more responsible than me and not me, and if that's how I lay out my preferences on my ballot then I will have a better government.
pairdrop.net works reasonably well for me
Always love to see the Nix flake support
I bought this simple ass little macropad that uses real keyboard switches and for like a year I had no idea how to use it. There was no dirt simple file configed little command I can plant in my i3/config and be happy with it so I built it!
It was my first attempt at building a production-level thing out of rust and I'm really happy with it. Now I can finally use my goddamn macropad!!

If you’re still shipping load‑bearing code in C, C++, Python, or vanilla JavaScript in 2025, you’re gambling with house money and calling it “experience.”
As systems scale, untyped or foot‑gun‑heavy languages don’t just get harder to work with—they hit a complexity cliff. Every new feature is another chance for a runtime type error or a memory bug to land in prod. Now layer LLM‑generated glue code on top of that. More code, more surface area, less anyone truly understands. In that world, “we’ll catch it in tests” is wishful thinking, not a strategy.
We don’t live in 1998 anymore. We have languages that:
- Make whole classes of bugs unrepresentable (Rust, TypeScript)
- Give you memory safety and concurrency sanity by default (Rust, Go)
- Provide static structure that both humans and LLMs can lean on as guardrails, not red tape
At this point, choosing C/C++ for safety‑critical paths, or dynamic languages for the core of a large system, isn’t just “old school.” It’s negligence with better marketing.
Use Rust, Go, or TypeScript for anything that actually matters. Use Python/JS at the edges, for scripts and prototypes.
For production, load‑bearing paths in 2025 and beyond, anything else is you saying, out loud:
“I’m okay with avoidable runtime failures and undefined behavior in my critical systems.”
Are you?
Comment:
Nonsense. If your code has reached the point of unmaintainable complexity, then blame the author, not the language.
Just for my edification is this what I'm missing out?
