@Gustav saw this recommended to me a few weeks ago and decided against watching it because the title seemed click-baity (i.e., I had no idea what it's supposed to be about).
Watched only the beginning, some fun jokes and arguably some pretty good points.
Yes, linux terminal emulators are dumb shit. But if he wants to convince me that I should stop using 80 column, fixed-size fonts for code and instead literally use unicode in variable names, he can go suck a dick. I've seen the correlation between people who write code with 300 columns and the quality of the code they produce.
-
@topspin I stopped watching when he said Clojure is good.
-
@Gustav compared to C, to be fair. Or writing function prologues in assembly by hand. He didn't say PHP is good.
Something he did say: "Now, moving on to another implementation of CSP: Go! Go actually did something good here. (And I'm not going to say much else that's great about Go. )"
-
@topspin no similar disclaimers next to Clojure speaks volumes. He also seems to not like static typing much, which for me instantly disqualifies him as an authority on language design.

That person needs to learn how to count. There are clearly 6 remotes.

@Mason_Wheeler Also see the discussion in the Other News thread. Numbers on drawn power mentioned; stupidity inherent in them observed.

On one hand, I can see that they really need help. On the other, I'm not sure they'd spend the money effectively, lacking attention to detail. So I'll probably keep donating to church instead.

@topspin said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

Good idea: I should incorporate some cyrillic or greek letters which look like latin caharacters at early positions in the variable name, in order to make also VS intellisense struggle with them (you need 2 or 3 characters for intellisense to show useful suggestions).

@BernieTheBernie said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

Wait, it does that?
Now that's funny Shit right there!
-
@Tsaukpaetra You laugh, but it's gotten pretty good recently. I mean, I'd been using it for years to save on typing and remembereing method signatures, but lately it seems to have gotten a solid handle on my most commonly used idioms, meaning full-width (80 char, give-or-take) lines with only one keypress.
Progress!

I watched it all. He's got many good points.

That's not what he's saying. He's actually advocating for things more like a Jupyter Notebook, except even more so.
@Gustav said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:

If you'd watched a little further, you'd see that he's saying "steal the good ideas from them", and that is definitely sensible.

I used to think of it as a comfortable command line.
Till someone told me that it is meant to be anIDE

It's like a cross between literate programming and an interactive shell.

IME so far, it's a nice idea for experimenting with new things, interactive data analysis/exploration, etc. But a few months ago we had a student which did all of her work in it*, and now I'm stuck with "well, that's nice to read, but how the heck am I supposed to use that in something else?": I'll probably copy+paste all the code cells defining functions into real .py files.
* At one point, when she asked me to help with installing some packages, it appeared to me she didn't even know how to open a normal python shell.

For those not aware, there was a bout of “memes” some months back berating poor maligned Tiktaalik for crawling out of the sea.

That's still semi OK. It's a couple of degrees warmer where it becomes As you say in German, "weather where you wouldn't even kick a out a dog"—oh yes you will, and you're going with!

And a couple degrees above that the cat goes "I don't want in our out I want the door to be open".

My cat just goes "I want cuddles!" regardless of weather outside.

@ixvedeusi We have a weather here in Chicago, in the winter, which works like that on humans. On a bright, clear day, with a very slight breeze, a blue sky with a few white cumulus, and a temperature around -30. "Come outside!", it says, then it kills you. Or, if not then, when the breeze hits.
-
@Gribnit said in The Official Funny Stuff Thread™:
"Come outside!", it says, then it kills you.
Oh, we have something to that effect here, too. It's called "la bise": Beautiful, sunny weather, coupled with icy wind coming in strong gusts that chill you to the bones within seconds no matter how many layers you're wearing.

@loopback0 note that the LHS still didn't come up with any adjectives that describe them. They must be an extremely boring person.

They're just indescribable.

@boomzilla That, or similar, image is pretty old. Nevertheless, it does qualify as funny.

: Mew, mew, why is this door closed? I wanna go outsiiide!!!With my parents cats we taught them to stop doing that by tossing them out into the bad weather when they did that. They learned fairly fast that mewing at the door meant that you also went outside.
