But of course RMS is also going to be an absolute shitstain.

So tired of this. So tired of men in tech. So tired of men, honestly.

C now has a REPL—take that, interpreted languages :D https://github.com/hexagonal-sun/bic

(Plus, it wins the coveted harder-to-exit-than-vim award:

you have to `#include<stdlib.h>` before you're allowed to `exit`!)

#todayILearned:

The bluetooth protocol was almost launched under the name "Flirt", with the tagline "Getting close but not touching" https://www.eetimes.com/document.asp?doc_id=1269737&page_number=2

H/t @balrogboogie , who's toot earlier about the "bluetooth" name got me reading about its history.

I spit my tea

It's kind of funny that the things I fear about the shiny surveillance-capitalism future of 2019 are exactly the same things I feared about World Communism in the 1980s

an elite culture of managers trying to impose their theory of human nature on the world by monopolising all the resources, infrastructure and means of communication, and enforcing it by spying on everyone all the time

does this mean that capitalists are communists

Tempted to write a "Guide for software developers volunteering for nonprofits":

- Hope you like PHP, since they *are* using either Wordpress or Drupal, no exceptions

- version control? Is that when we add the date to the end of the filename of the master spreadsheet we're emailing back and forth?

- Ssshhh: the password is "candidatename-2020" it's very secret nobody will guess it

- the wordpress has every plugin and theme installed, all battling for control of the public PHP namespace

Unless you're an exorbitant dickwad who takes private jets everywhere and pisses petrol directly into rivers, your individual contributions to climate change are negligible. All claims otherwise are part of a guilt campaign designed to distract us from the crimes of the capitalist class, and nobody should feel bad about the relatively minor waste etc they produce. While it's obviously nice to stop littering etc., collective action is the only way to stop this.

Don't just read the link and go "I can't strike," there's also coordinated protests and other ways to get involved.

As the website says, "[o]ur house is on fire - let's act like it."

(Boost this or a better call to action, or write your own, please.)

Der scope resolution operator (in vielen Sprachen "::") heißt auf Deutsch anscheinend "Gültigkeitsoperator". Das habe ich zuerst als "Gleichgültigkeitsoperator" gelesen und eigentlich ist das eine gute Idee.

Ich präsentiere den Gleichgültigkeitsoperator:

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Anwendung:

5 mod 2 ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 0

("einfach mal Fünfe gerade sein lassen")

"you can't just transport everything by bike" - "hold my grand piano"

„Ich komme aus Bayern, ich koennte die Spiritusflasche segnen“
„Sag es nicht“
„Dann waere es Spiritus Sanctus“
„Argh“

Javascript is the English of programming languages

- kludged-together clusterfuck
- many decisions were made to keep compatibility with old versions despite that not really making sense
- a whole lot of arcane logic that only makes sense if you really drive into the history of it
- bad to do math in
- basically everyone needs to know it at least a little
- lingua franca because the predominant powers on Earth just so happen to use them
