If you have a project and the title and subtitle of the post about it are:

<punchy name>: <noun>, <past tense verb>

then please take 10 seconds to reword it.

"UptimeChecker: Baby's first SaaS, implemented with 900 unit tests"

"Andre's Steakhouse: Fine dining, cooked au sexuale"

"Dogdos: Sex toys for your dog, delivered to your door"

A lot of people will just ignore it and they won't see the valuable work Claude spent a handful of your 5h sessions performing.

No most of us are keen on developing human relationships and intimacy, but it sounds like you view women as a warm fleshlight so I hope that you and your genetic line wind up as dead ends with dry humping a robot as your greatest life accomplishment. Good job lil fella. Give that Claude session your 3.5 inches of American steel.

Honestly I think that people who want to fuck a clanker not passing their genes on is probably for the best.

This is really not that complicated a quote anyway. It is packed full of jargon, but she's talking about moving from a structuralist mindset to one that views power structures as formed contingently from their society rather than structurally from capital.

Not surprising that this philosophical philistinism is from an Anglo publication.

That vendepatria hasn't stood up to any authoritarianism; all she's done is buddy up with other authoritarians to try to obtain power. Her giving her Peace Prize to Trump might be one of the most humiliating things she could have done.

What is a critique of Russia or China in this context that isn't true of the US?

Or you could just save all that time and effort and scroll through it like a reasonable person.

Always thought this rule is hilarious because the fact that such comparisons are so overwhelmingly common that they needed to address it with this bitchy little rule (adding one link to an example per word is a classic tell that an internet moderator is spending their highly compensated moderation time Extremely Mad lol).

However, rather than understand the obvious explanation for it, that reddit and HN's karma systems encourage performative comment behavior with people trying to be epic for the peanut gallery, they make the boneheaded decision to just assume it's an "illusion". It's like Dunning-Krueger but for their theory of mind and general emotional intelligence, with the cause being obvious enough that I don't feel I need to name it.

>I joke that using Python on your modern 2020s CPU upgrades it to a Pentium 4 from 2004 running code compiled with C. And the 2004 version might still be faster.

It really doesn't for a lot of the things that matter, and people should seriously ignore your opinions if you're making these kind of fatuous jokes. Any serious person should understand what CPU bound tasks are vs what IO bound ones are. Python is used for the latter, with some C/C++/Rust bindings for the former. You are ignorant and tedious. When should I actually give a fuck? is the question that you types that build nothing never manage to answer. If you can improve some significant metric by 50x by moving away from Python, you should be fired for having been stupid enough to choose the wrong tool for the job.

To simulate a jazz legend of a different instrument, Buddy Rich: It sounds like shit. Fuck you.
