uspol, us election, trump

Love how media is reporting on the Trump win as if this is somehow an entirely normal, neutral thing and not incredibly fucking concerning on all sorts of levels to the point where it might just be an existential threat to the entire world

*monkey's paw finger curls* The Switch 2 is retrocompatible, but the console actually downgrades back to a Switch and its performance when launching an old-gen game.

it's that scene from disney's atlantis movie. 

frame 1, character milo says: i started programming because i love tech. i want to build new things and change the world! you guys?

"The major problem—one of the major problems, for there are several—one of the many major problems with governing people is that of whom you get to do it; or rather of who manages to get people to let them do it to them.
To summarize: it is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it.
To summarize the summary: anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job." - Douglas Adams

My very own . It feels like that anyway. I guess I'm just cyber-spatially organising code in a ? Is this revolutionary or passé?

Anyway it took form in the quiet ending of .
In the article, instead of attempting to 'play my game', I make a counter object containing a common lisp closure @verbed into it that I pick up and use a few times.

I have wed MOO/reality and common lisp images.

I would like to have a project (personal or otherwise) where a reasonable choice of language would be one of:

  • Fortran
  • Elixir
  • COBOL
  • Ada

Out of these, Elixir seems to be the most likely. But I really would like a reason to actually learn Fortran or Ada.

Don't suppress your anger, kids. People like me are what you get from trying to build a life around suppressed anger. Don't be like me.

mainstream media legitimately makes me feel uncomfortable and unsafe

After so many months I finally rode one of the new Perth trains! They make way too many noises, also the internal has the buffeting problem some local buses have.
It's probably not rigid enough?
The interior looks nice though and feels kind of futuristic with the panelling

I forgot the author/title of that book where the author's idea is that there are many halting-problem-like unproveable features in computer programming. Do you know it? Lisp book lists?

literally everything these tech bros touch turns into a pump and dump get-rich-quick scheme

all this "AI art" is gonna look hell cringe in 10 years

"There are so many books I have to read," the first ghost said. "I haunt the library."

"I haunt an apartment complex," the second said. "For films and TV shows."

They turned to the third ghost. "What's your unfinished business?"

"An internet argument."

"Dude, let it go."
