We can capitalize on his greatest fear… Electric Shark Boats
Like a Hoover vacuum
Dude didn’t stutter. Saving the woman.
Duh … we all learned this in sex ed
The Intercept is the only publication pushing that story. Al Jazeera only references “purported” information from that very TI article so, by and large, it’s unsubstantiated. Also, when that was happening Kahn was already serving a three year corruption sentence. I don’t see how any of this actually substantiates your original claim.
I would argue that ASM isn’t “powerful”. It’s direct. You can access advanced features of a CPUs architecture with the trade off limited portability. Sometimes it’s necessary but power comes from being able to express complex control and data structures in a concise and readable amount of text.
The subjective topic of what “concise and readable” means is where the language wars come in.
What Crockford did was enable a lot of devs to realize there was a viable development platform built into the most prolific and open network client in the world. For that he should be commended but it should have never been taken as “this is a viable general purpose language”.
I love how after a decade pandoc is still Haskell’s “killer app”. smh
I could have lived a long happy life without reading “fishussy”
America has a lot of problems but the idea that Americans can afford to be frivolously litigious is hilarious.
They seem like fun story prompts honestly. Could be a blast just doing it for fun with friends.
Retro computing love is lonely irl but thriving online. So yeah definitely a topic we don’t really bring unless you want to get a slice “back in my day” geezer action. Which honestly I’m leaning into these days.
I was 2006 adopter when Paul Graham dropped a link to it on his website. I was there before the original programming subdomain Reddit and even before they supported picture thumbnails. I’ve seen its wild mutations over the years. Bacon, narwhal, Mr Splashypants, Colbert name dropping, the original video IAMAs, the jailbait fiasco, spacedicks, random celebrity users, the redesign from hell, etc etc.
I left.
It was a good site for a long time but after being on Lemmy for a while I can see a clear difference in experience and now I realize Reddit has been bad for a while. Terrible discourse, lowest common denominator posts, and falling into the trap of continuous engagement just to get the next hit of dopamine. Honestly, spez ruining the site has been good for me personally.
I’m proud of our rejection of a commercial online experience. This is the thoughtful community I want to be a part of. This feels like the Internet of the late 90s in terms of authenticity. With its revival with the Fediverse I’m hopeful that these types of communities will forever be part of our digital experience.
RCP has a tendency to post even the most crackpot polling firms which gives the entire site a rightward lean.
As much as Steve has already shown he’s willing to lie outright (especially we characterizing his talks with the Apollo Dev) I really can’t put it past Reddit to lie about the mods “encouraging” porn posts.
