This map is highly misleading. In the American electoral system, votes don't influence policy.

UPDATE my keyboard may have exploded in the ups plane crash :(

fuck my stupid tranny life

I really firmly believe that home schooling and private schooling generally should be abolished

you can always tell when a scifi author is a computer programmer because all of the characters talk like computer programmers

Democratic party membership has so far only really meant that I get several annoying emails every day from multimillionaires begging me for 15$

What social media platform will be brave enough to implement the ultimate feature: posts with more dislikes than likes are auto deleted after 1 day

PLEASE make a funny animation for the dislike button

I think getting a dislike on your post should make the screen turn red and shake

man I cant wait to dislike posts finally a button for the haters

having no earthly attachments sounds great but I have to like, pay rent and stuff

tbh if you feel like you can never afford a house where you and a medical emergency is going to bankrupt you anyway there isnt that much of a reason to actually save money

dressing up as buried fiber optic cable gf for halloween

Wtf is up with british chinese food they cannot be serious eith that

(Trying to remember the tea brand I like) "Can you pick up some... big elbow... green tea?"

I long for the cryo sleep pod

I want some sort of trans girl computer club group chat to talk about computer stuff in

undefeated in the code review battle arena

So like, does mario move incredibly quickly through the pipes or are they connected in hyperspace or something

Starting to feel gender feelings time to buy a 400$ keyboard

Probably the cellphone and laptop dominate computer form factors until we can directly patch in displays to the visual cortex. Then its time for the necklace computer.

Very very funny to go through all the trouble of making a stateless pure programming language and then making me worry about the state of which of 1000 compiler extensions are enabled and what operators are defined in every bit of code I read

Lots of bad ideas are really cool and thats how they get you. Macros, user defined operators, etc.

"Just check for errors at runtime" bold of you to assume I plan to run my code

Or worse you end up with clojure's spec

welcome to linux, please pick your starter distro: - difficult linux - racism linux - backdoored linux - bloat linux - slop linux

Besides the obvious "dhh is a racist" angle, the thing that really bothers me about omarchy is that kind of linux desktop experience should be all about customization, making something you like your self. Now all these tech chuds can larp having a "cool" linux desktop setup without any of the ethos

Demolishing the whitehouse is such a funny bit

Dynamically typed language advocates complain about having to write type declarations, but they always just end up putting function argument types in documentation anyway

Literally me

at the risk of doing political commentary I don't really understand the point of a protest that makes no demands

Im of the opinion that you should not be characters from media for halloween you should be a cartoon witch or a dracula or something like that

Since we all like pipelines so much maybe its just time to admit the function arguments should go on the left of the function and the results should come out the right side

programming really is all about learning the magic words

javascript and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race

look I know its a right wing trope but sometimes the media elites really do want you to live in a pod and eat bugs

Im #1 scifi snob and #1 Isaac Asimov hater

My biggest gripe with star trek is that there is a microwave in every wall that can make anything out of thin air and it has basically not changed society/culture at all. Like yes obviously capitalism no longer exists but we dont really see much downstream of that. Real lack of imagination.

listen I would love it if the best tiling window manager was also woke but alas

I think its a bit silly that you can block quote posts tbh. They built an "Im not owned!" button into the website...

Not joking when I say zardoz may be the best science fiction film ever made

When a programming language is opinionated: yaaay! When it disagrees with one of your opions: Booo!

Explaining to "there are only two genders" types that the newtonian laws of physics are social constructs

every few months I stub my toe so bad it turns black and purple

new hair cut looks good!

async keyword is a bad idea

Idk if "you dont need type glasses because you cant express anything new with them" is particularly convincing when all the monad types in gleam implement their own bind functions with different names.

I also think we should put a lot more effort into dissecting what llms are actually doing to process language. It may be the case that neural nets are actually an extremely inefficient implementation of that algorithm and we dont actually need all that compute.

If the ai industry can give up on creating agi and work on refining good use cases for what we already have I would be more interested I think. The ability to parse human language input is really incredible on its own but gets overshadowed by all the other ai nonsense.

I am impressed that llms can parse my not very clearly worded requests into a reasonable approximation of what I want. Its also neat to be able to modify a tools behaviour by describing what you want it to do. Llm as a user interface to tooling or a more general expert system is interesting
