Just pronounce it Gee-imp and it’s fiiiine

The crimson financial assurance I think it was? Probably my fave python bit

Dragonflies would like a word

Oh I’m completely serious. The joke is that everyone does it but everyone knows not to do it. I started doing it when I first ran into problems debugging actor contexts, and never stopped.

The good printlns become logs, obviously

Also it is literally the best language for refactoring. Omg. Anything is available – macros that fold up so tight you can’t see it’s arse, compile type type witnesses for safe access to partial objects, fuckin’ automatic restructuring of auto-generated code, at compile time, to regex hack in the easy fix for a hard problem. It just so flexible, and you can either use that to prevent bugs by making things stricter, or enable incredible things by doing mad unsafe shit (that’s still safe, because you still have the compiler). Wow. What a language.

Happened in 2019 though

Oh man, I thought that was one of the classic jokes :’( I am out of touch

Yeah, every so often there’s an article like this and tbh it always seems to boil down to ‘i couldn’t get a job in it’ lol. Scala isn’t Java or Go, it’s never gonna have as many open roles as those sorts of languages. Doesn’t feel to me like it’s dying – all the libs I depend on have been available for scala 3 for at least a couple of years now, all the ones that aren’t already so feature complete as to warrant ‘stable’ status get regular updates. Kinda don’t like ppl trash talking my favourite language NGL lol 😂

Wait, how do you debug your code?

Saw him do this live and he was predictably incredible

Not amongst serious people though. Shakespeare’s life is well documented but rather dull. He just happened to be a terrific observer of human behaviour

It was tho” just so you know.

Eh. I’ve met police. They’ve actually been helpful to me when I was on the receiving end of a home break in. They serve a purpose. A lot of them are racist, sexist, violent thugs. But their role is nonetheless essential, and some of them can be decent. An unpoliced society has been trialed multiple times. I am not aware of any attempts where it worked out.

Ok edgelord

And slamming into the back of my dragula

Philosophy is in entirely the wrong place for some reason. Should be slightly to the right of maths.

This cannot be a healthy attitude though. Like, a police force is one of the basic requirements of a society of even moderate size. The police suck much, much harder than they should, but I absolutely cannot believe that everybody working in law enforcement everywhere is an irredeemable cunt. That cannot be the correct take here

The downvotes are probably because of the annoying thorn usage. It’s disruptive to reading and a gratuitous irritant to discover in what’s otherwise a perfectly cromulent post

Halfway to a great comment there but it fizzled out a bit

peach, plum and cherry get along well
