Not that that’s stopped 4chan before

Reddit surfed through the years of cheap vc money but going public could kill it.
Wonder which fascist tech billionaire will buy it when it finally implodes
To expand on this, the problem with huge releases is that bugs tend to pile up along with the new features, simply because more stuff has been changed. You’re much more likely to experience a painful release if you pile in months of changes, and this is doubly true for a distributed system with no rigorous testing of the system itself instead of just units
Rewrite in Brainfuck!
Looks like it’s written in C of all things, huh
Well it collects data from you, and one use case for your data is allowing a nice 💰 exit for the venture capital -backed company building it.
Other than that, not a whole lot that’s worth yet another “powered by open web standards” Electron piece of shit

It’s “penopodes”
Edit: also actually penes (pēnēs)
Because no way could I dislike modern PHP. Maybe you just have low standards when it comes to programming languages?
That’s a good point about the synergies, something like eg. a type system that’s expressive enough to be Turing-complete is going to have some effects. You’re right that it might just feel like a “kitchen sink language” due to complexity of the features it has, but then again I suppose it’s sort of one and the same where a language’s complexity comes from.
But it’s no Swift, at least; now that language really does have everything and the kitchen sink.
The guy in the blog says mb (millibits)
a) does anybody actualy use that? How many people reading this thread can say they’ve actually seen that in real use or used it?
b) I’m fairly convinced you knew what was meant because it’s not like it’s uncommon to use a minuscule m for “mega” in colloquial usage
Weird performative pedantry or a joke that flew over my head? I give about a 0.5 probability for both
I mean, wouldn’t it essentially have to be storing every possible move (well, state) for as many rounds as you want for the player to be able to play at most? And I’m not sure he can take advantage of the fact that you can end up in the same state from multiple other states, which would remove a lot of the redundant ones
I think it’s the PHP, makes people doubt your soul’s status that you’d subject yourself willingly to it
“Sufficiently powerful” is a bit of an understatement when it comes to Scala. Honestly may have a bit too many features for my taste, it’s not a small language
I’ve been meaning to give F# a go but I never seem to get around to it. Seems like an interesting language
With Comic Sans I can maybe buy that claim; it was never hard to read, people just think it looks silly (especially in more official contexts.)
At least to me Radon, however, actually is hard to read. I don’t know if it’s my slight dyslexia, but it feels like it’s purposefully doing the opposite of what the fonts like Comic Sans etc. did. It’s not quite Tengwar-bad but it’s still a bit of a jagged easily-confused mess that’s noticeably slower to read
The unfathomable horrors of modern life
Reading some marketing blurb about how these fonts are totally like state of the art and will make everything better is different from buying into what it claims, I guess?
Personally I’m not all that convinced that these’ll be as revolutionary as they make them sound – and Radon is so bad that it makes me question whether the claims about readability and whatnot have any connection to the fonts they published – but I’ll have to give them a whirl anyhow.
Yeah, I looked at the first couple of fonts, then read all that stuff about readability this, state of the art that, expressive palettes la-di-da and I thought “ok maybe they have an idea here”.
Then I looked at the rest of the examples and ran into that… thing. Like, the fucker’s so aggressively irritating to read that you could use that font to hide eg. backdoors in code, and reviewers would instinctively skip over those parts just to avoid the pain.
So because VPN works for you, it’s impossible for it to not work for literally anybody else?
