Woah

By the year 2035, as many as 40% of working-age Americans may be employed as LLM-jockeys

I've generally had a positive experience with it

If you like Java, then I think C# might be up your alley. It's got the same kind of "C++ without the fuss" philosophy (though I question certain of its design choices) & it compiles to bytecode which is automatically translated to machine code at runtime, if I understand rightly

Mine was feral-child's school of programming

I had no idea what a "void" was. And then I learned Python for video game-modding purposes a few years later, and I've since acquainted myself broadly with the C family of languages, and I can patch .exes by hand, with the aid of a disassembler & hex-editor, but I am something of a Johannes factotum

I can relate. I'm probably the only person born after 1985 whose 1st language was Apple BASIC, a peculiarity I owe to my father living vicariously through me. I took a Java course one summer when I was 16, which was a disaster because I had no familiarity with concepts such as OOP or data-types...

It's unfortunate, but it's great for just bodging things together, I find, so I assume that's a major factor

The oligarchs would really only be hastening the inevitable, & neither they nor Trump are magic

As I understand it, it should be largely a matter of the C-code underpinnings of the library, but it should be eminently feasible for its performance-critical aspects to be handled directly by machine-code

i cannot emphasize this enough. fuck ice and fuck core civic

In the absence of Barros & Yglesiases, posters have evolved to fill their niche

(THIS IS A JOKE)

No wonder she hated Peter Sellars!

Yeah, and I can absolutely see the idiots thinking 'Well, this is a lot more like Venezuela, so it'll be fine!'

A surprisingly accurate Lego version of the Paradise Towers cleaning robot.

That time I built a cleaner robot out of Lego - FROM MEMORY.

"Madam, what year is this?"

And Panama, which is underrated as a potential flashpoint, IMO

I get mad everytime I think of all the blithely oblivious "Hahaha Trump sure backed off of his designs on Canada!" posts

Conspiring to prolong a war so you can end it is not being a peace-freak, surely?

MOOOOOOOOOM THE ENEMY IS VOTING AGAIN

A screenshot from the 1983 Jetsoft arcade game, Bongo, featuring all of the beloved characters we've come to know and love over the past 43 years; the portly red-hatted explorer Bongo, his little furry friend who watches from a platform on the top-right of the screen, the weird hopping football-shaped creatures (referred to in the C64 port as "bouncing bongos"), the bird/pterosaur, and last but not least, Bongo's hated nemesis, A Dinosaur. The player currently has 94,990 points.

March 10th is a day where we all celebrate the little red-hatted, portly hero of gaming who single-handedly popularised the entire platformer genre for years to come

Again, we are watching a mirror image of Trumps covid response unfolding in real time: events are spinning out of his control and his response to that is not to figure out what he can actually impact things & act there, it is to assert a fantasy version of events & insist on its realness

Ron Granier’s OTHER iconic 60s TV show theme.

I feel like a lot of people's models of American capitalism don't encompass the government engaging in brazen market-manipulation

Far be it from me to mock a person's surname, but one of the discourses du jour being started by someone called "Agro" is a remarkable bit of nominative determinism
