What’s your preferred default pronoun? As far as I’m aware, there isn’t a universally accepted replacement, since any pronoun comes with drawbacks. ‘he’ & ‘she’ are gendered, ‘it’ typically refers to non-sentient things, and ‘they’ can cause confusion about number. Of course, there’s also neopronouns, but people have come up with a billion, and there’s no consensus or standard, so I can’t confirm the person I’m talking to will understand.

I don’t understand how not using a keyword to define a function causes the meaning to change depending on imports. I’ve never run into an issue like that before. Can you give an example?

stingpie@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•An extremely crude comic about programming languages4·11 months agoYeah, I’m not a model for good programing. I don’t program professionally, I just like challenging myself in my hobby projects.

stingpie@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•An extremely crude comic about programming languages27·11 months agoI am both the left guy and right guy. If you can’t program without using a memory safe language, it’s a skill issue. But I also don’t want to switch to rust because I like the challenge of manual memory management. (Also rust’s syntax and semantics looks like it was designed by a monkey attacking a typewriter.)
Don’t know why people are down voting this. That’s canonically correct in the Jewish an Muslim traditions.
The onion is back, baby!
You can’t choose where you grow up. :(

stingpie@lemmy.worldto Programmer Humor@programming.dev•It's official, Rust is an anti C/C++ elitist slur194·1 year agoRust is already obsolete, compared to Stingpie’s excellent assembly language, paired with object oriented programming!
This is the SEALPOOP specification:
- an assembler must create a binary program which satisfies the programmer’s specifications.
- a compiler must translate the programmer’s code into SEALPOOP’s parallel instruction set source, which should be fed into the SEALPOOP PISS assembler.
stingpie@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•A courts reporter wrote about a few trials. Then an AI decided he was actually the culprit.English10·1 year agoI don’t think the Chinese room is a good analogy for this. The Chinese room has a conscious person at the center. A better analogy might be a book with a phrase-to-number conversion table, a couple number-to-number conversion tables, and finally a number-to-word conversion table. That would probably capture transformer’s rigid and unthinking associations better.

Ok. I’m getting tired. You bested me this round. Have a nice day.
You say it’s the goal of the proletariat to protect the revolution, but why would they? Each proletariat would benefit from the revolution’s failure- they could live better lives as the bourgeois. You talk about the proletariat like they are some monolithic entity, with a single mind and goal. You talk big about helping the individual, but cannot see beyond their class. The proletariat is a person, with needs, desires and opinions. What father would hold the abstract ideals of the “revolution” over the life of his sick daughter? Any father I know would do anything for the safety of his children, even hoard life-saving medicine from others.
Communist logix
we need to abolish private property so everybody has equal power.
we class of people to maintain public ownership
After all, how can we enforce public ownership without a more powerful class of enforcers?
I’m pretty sure fused add multiply with store is part of the AVX instruction set.

stingpie@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•How can we return to techno-optimism?English2·1 year agoI always find it very funny when someone suggests anarcho-something as a solution to all of capitalism’s problems. How exactly do you plan to enforce that? Do you think social pressure & shunning will do anything more than create a class of extremists with an oppositional philosophy?
GIF compression is endearing, though. It only has 256 colors, but it tries its hardest anyway.
