would rather not, author is a tankie that uses it for tankie site

it's not federated yet IIRC (and hasn't been for like 2 years?)

and there isn't really any concern about the hierarchical nature of what they're doing; tank site had a shit ton of bans early on

I had a quote by Erik Naggum but then I remembered it's Alan Kay's 80th birthday, so I should celebrate by flaming using something he said.

[JavaScript] is another example of filling a tiny, short-term need, and then being a real problem in the longer term. Basically, a lot of the problems that computing has had in the last 25 years comes from systems where the designers were trying to fix some short-term thing and didn’t think about whether the idea would scale if it were adopted. There should be a half-life on software so old software just melts away over 10 or 15 years.

that was uploaded seperately some time ago, by some shitty publisher that also blocked it everywhere, and for some reason they took down the new upload of the album

depends if it has 291 screws or 291 engines, and in the case of Node there's 291 engine-shaped screws

few deep ones i suppose, but trying to relate patterns or paradigms to irl stuff usually goes badly so make sure they're solid too

Computer science is a terrible name for this business. First of all, it’s not a science. It might be engineering or it might be art, but we’ll actually see that computer so-called science actually has a lot in common with magic... So it’s not a science. It’s also not really very much about computers. And it’s not about computers in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerators, and biology is not really about microscopes and petri dishes. And it’s not about computers in the same sense that geometry is not really about using surveying instruments.

it's about third-third-third programmer jokes, weirdness, and misuse of common meme templates to me, so i suppose there's something for everyone to enjoy
