nobody0··on Woodworking as an escape from the absurdity of software
Like painting or architecture, woodworking have a finished state, after that, you just ship it and not worry about it again. whereas in software, everything is so malleable that a rewrite is often going to happen again and again.
nobody0··on Pythonicity: Composition vs. Inheritance
or just go with functions + unions/dataclasses
nobody0··on Why does all() return True if the iterable is empty?
The empty set is vacuously true for any properties with elements.
nobody0··on Go 1.21 will (likely) have a static toolchain on Linux
I wonder why Go doesn't have algebaric data types, it could solve a lot of issues, and make code a lot easier to write.
nobody0··on A CPU is a compiler
and an interpreter
nobody0··on ChatGPT has already decreased my income security, and likely yours too

nobody0··on Rust – What made it “click” for me (Ownership and memory internals)
> Freedom is slavery, and ignorance is strength
nobody0··on Ask HN: Will AI put programmers our of work?
If anything, there have to be people in the loop to check balances (write good prompts to generate code and fix them) and take responsibilities for downtime.
nobody0··on The Chinese Civil Examinations
One of the reasons that China hadn't have a strong private school of thoughts.
nobody0··on When is a slice of any not a slice of any?
nonmeasurable sets

nobody0··on Analyzing Indie Hacker Products with Verified Revenue
It's not a killing definitely a living though..
nobody0··on Japanese man loses USB stick with entire city's personal details
One of the most important links of the chain to keep sensitive data safe is to collect less but the motivation behind this is rather small, private or public sector.
nobody0··on The Psychology of not wanting to know (2017) [pdf]
ignorance is a bliss
nobody0··on Owl: OCaml Scientific Computing
OCaml already got multicore merged.
nobody0··on Start with who, not why
I'd say always start with what. Figuring out what to solve is the most vital part.
nobody0··on Twitter is adding an edit button
But life is append only.
nobody0··on My seatbelt rule for judgment
That's why pattern matching and algebraic datatypes getting popular these years. Make Illegal States Unrepresentable
nobody0··on Competitive Programming with AlphaCode
I agree with you on this, since we humans want things in a vague form, and it's still very hard for computers to infer insights from those ambiguous requirements. Not very easy to do that by taking derivatives of function compositions.
nobody0··on Internet addiction: The emergence of a new clinical disorder (1996) [pdf]
Probably we also have backpressure as a information receivers and the tube obviously does not care about that.
nobody0··on California moves to recommend delaying algebra to 9th grade statewide
Ugh, maybe teach abstract algebra first like France did?
nobody0··on The benefits of not belonging
You get used to being famous, but nobody gets used to being ignored.
nobody0··on Making the dislike count private across YouTube
hidden negativity is depressing.

"Sans la liberté de blâmer, il n'est point d'éloge flatteur"

nobody0··on Why Facebook is spending billions on the metaverse
Because capitalism never settles. It always crave for growth.
nobody0··on Models of Programming
functional programming paradigm is boringly honest, you have functions chained together, and you can see exactly how your inputs get transfromed.

You use wire instead of radio wave to design your world.

nobody0··on Facebook is planning to change its name, report says
facebook -> book
nobody0··on How to Get over Fear of Disappointing Others (FODO)
It does serve a way to bear boredom and get things done.
nobody0··on Dopamine, Smartphones and You: A battle for your time
“The king is surrounded by persons whose only thought is to divert the king, and to prevent his thinking of self. For he is unhappy, king though he be, if he think of himself.

This is all that men have been able to make themselves happy. And those who philosophize on the matter, and who think men unreasonable for spending a whole day in chasing a hare which they would not have bought, scarce know our nature. The hare in itself would not screen us from the sight of death and calamities; but the chase which turns away our attention from these, does screen us.” (Pensees, Blaise Pascal)

nobody0··on Akihito and the Sorrows of Japan: The Anxious Emperor (2020)
I don't know why you are downvoted. But given even Unit 731 was granted immunity by the US, I guess justice ceded its place back then.

It's sad to see politicians made those 'practical' decisions to protect those criminals. Let alone countless people lost their lives or suffered just because a room of people wanted wars.

nobody0··on Go is a terrible language (2020)
Is there possibility that go adds algebraic datatype and pattern matching? error handling will be nicer that way generally.
