I am a professional encoder and I always put all my codes in a single big file marked EXE for faster execution.

    No, that makes them slower because theyre leaning into the wind. You want to try to mostly use A's, because they're the most aerodynamic, and anything else should be formatted as subscript to keep code size down and reduce drag. C should be avoided at all costs because it's just going to catch the wind.

    marked EXE

    Ok, I'm taking from it that you use a permanent marker pen... I just don't know why you execute your files, but since paper guillotines are so fun to use, I'm assuming it's just for amusement.

    Get popcorn ready

    Upload the entire Linux kernel, then submit the "fixed" code as a PR to Linus.

    Enjoy popcorn

    I’d love to see Linus verbally bitchslap the fuckwit. Or physically, that’d be cool too.

    No one who legitimately knows anything about computing speaks like this.

    Why the fuck can't these assholes just go away?

    You've won life. We get it. Good for you. Why do you need more money? Why do you need to constantly be the center of attention?*

    It truly is just a handful of unscrupulous, malignant narcissists that have ruined everything (including the planet) for everyone else.

    *these are rhetorical questions

    They're playing life on god mode. But, they're also very lonely. They drive away their original wives, who married them "before" (Bezos, and Gates). Their kids hate them. Everyone they come in contact with is paid in some way to be there. They have no real human connections. They're surrounded by personal security staff 24/7. Also, Epstein just hung around the entrance to the rabbit hole. That hole goes deep, and I think we all know it.

    No, that was a much larger group effort. You and me can't wash our hands of it. Like, even if you ignore the majority of stuff they don't own, we let them do that.

  • Well said. We don’t like inequality, but when it comes to blame somehow we all get a “tax free” discount.

    Yes, they are awful people. They have more than enough money to live out their sickest fantasies and it’s still not enough for them. But they are - at least in part - a symptom of the way the rest of us live. We vote for a government that lets us forget our humanity, class consciousness and responsibility in place of overbearing capitalism. Only we can stop this.

    Yes, I who knows a lot about programming, only use one file per application.

    The entire file! My biggest frustration with cursor is that it doesn't support reading from multiple projects at once so it can see the context of how the projects interact or how interfaces are implemented.

    Have you used GenAI for art? It can do a reasonable job for the entire composition, but the extra fine detail have to be inpainted with specific prompts, and there are special routines that make sure faces and hands look human.

    The same with code. It can outline the entire project but details need to be inpainted and specific errors handled.

    The context window can't handle an entire codebase, never mind multiple projects.

    Actually, I have my entire code base documented in obsidian, and I literally tell cursor to refer to the documentation. It works amazingly well, and then I have it draft documentation for the new features it's creating. I can do in a day what I used to do in a week, and it's not because it's doing anything advanced, it's just takes care of so much of the brain draining tedious tasks.

    More like all the On Error Resume Next statements. Which wasn't even the worst thing about Visual Basic! VB also had the On Error Resume statement. On Error Resume Next at least moved on to the next line after an error occurred; On Error Resume just re-executed the error-generating line, I guess on the assumption that something would eventually change there.

    There would just be one of those, at the top of the 1 file…

    On Error was used within a function, so you would have one (or more ... or less) per function.

    I started with VB3, which didn't have custom classes. I have no idea how I did anything back then, but at least it was better than TurboBasic.

    I did BASIC on the Apple IIe, then TurboBasic, Visual Basic (3, 4, 5 and 6 with some C in there somewhere), VB.Net, C#, Java, Objective-C and finally QT. Now I drive a school bus.

    Hmm, can you upload files? Wonder if they set an upper limit. Wonder which language would burn the most cycles?

    Knowing how half-assed they've been deploying Grok a ZIP bomb would probably work on it if they allowed file uploads.

    I've been saying for a long time (since the 2010s tech boom). There's needs to be a new term the public lexicon termed "poptech" or popular technology. In the same vein has popsci.

    The technology anyone knows anymore is oversimplified for general audiences. These days is almost always imparting wrong understanding.

    The industry has been rife with grifters. If people catch on then the bottomless pit of funding will become very shallow.

    What I still don't understand, is why people still use Twitter? It's not even ordered by date, how could it be useful? Government accounts and celebrities have already moved on to other feeds .
