IDE Devs: “Python has dynamic typing, so we can’t implement go-to-definition reliably” Python devs: “That’s fine, we don’t need THIS ABSOLUTELY BASIC FUNDAMENTAL IDE FEATURE, LET’S BUILD THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY ON THIS TECH, LET’S GO!”

Cloud computing is the most successful "you will own nothing and be happy" psyop in history. We gave up on DARPA's beautifully, decentralized design for the internet to become renters for life. Tragic.

Decaying Soviet megastructures invoke the accurate feeling of stumbling across the ruins of a spacefaring empire that ceased to exist, leaving their technology and relics behind.

“everything is computer” should be renamed to “everything is Java” Most don’t realize how insanely prevalent the JVM is. Oracle currently estimates 60 billion JVM installations worldwide. While others chase language fads, Java’s been quietly eating the world for decades.

So many of you failed social studies and it shows. John Turner was PM without an election, so was Kim Campbell. We have premiers who became premiers without a general election. Literally begging you lunatics to read maybe one book

Canadian Premier, who didn’t immediately call an election after becoming premier by a leadership vote, is demanding Mark Carney immediately call an election after winning a leadership vote.

The White House is setting conditions in the information space to justify a land invasion of Canada. Someone needs to say it. The messaging is undeniable. Unless the adults reenter the room, it will happen. 1/9

Why so many devs are obsessed with systems programming? I don’t understand why C, Rust and Zig are so popular when they cover less than 5% of real software use cases.

Here's another CHILLING comment from Canadian MP Charlie Angus: "Our neighbors are no longer our allies. We are dealing with a regime next-door to us, who is ignoring the international rule of law, and we have to take this dead serious." This is not normal. America is falling.…
