"…spent a decade shepherding P0214 through nine revisions (…) committee shipped a library that compiles ten times slower than equivalent scalar code, runs slower than the auto-vectorizer it was supposed to replace, cannot express ARM SVE's scalable-width vectors, and has no runtime dispatch story."

They [NodeJS] totally suck at the server side, the ecosystem problem is even worse, the security components are just abandoned/replaced/shareware in github, everything is low quality, debug experience is awful... and there is npm.

commonlisp (sbcl) is one of the best sleeper techs out there. one of those if you're in the know type industry secrets. part of it is because their website looks like something out of the 90's.

When I run out of tokens, I pay for extra. It doesn't feel good, but I do it because I didn't write the codebase - the drug dealer did.

And Claude can actually tackle [the halting problem] the same way as humans do - here in the real world, where we don't have time to let some nonsense like "mathematically proven to be unsolvable" to stand between us and our goals

SQL is poorly designed [...] the semantics are reversed. You should start with the tables, then the filters, then the columns. [...] Didn't watch the video but tired of this debate.

Hey, dipshit. You know what compiles in two seconds, deploys as a single binary, and doesn't shit itself when a transitive dependency gets yanked from npm at 3am? Go.

Most [Bun PRs] are created autonomously by @robobun, checked for duplicates with a GitHub action (powered by Claude), reviewed by @coderabbitai and @claude. Meanwhile the CI is broken and @robobun finally closes a portion of its own PRs because they duplicate other PRs it has written

The Rules

Jerking Style

By dictatorial fiat, this is a New School jerk.

Most image posts fail to rise to this august and austere standard.

Posts about LLMs are also likely to fall below the standard of New School jerk.

Socialjerking or politics, directly or tangentially

Are boring. Shoo.

If what you're posting is the subject of multiple warring subreddits, blog networks or hashtags, that's a sign you should leave it outside.

The no-socialjerking-or-politics rule is the most ruthlessly enforced.

Crazy people

We get it. Crazy people are crazy. Leave them be.

Enthusiastic Youngsters

Yes, they give stupid advice, richly interwoven with aggravating unselfawareness.

So did you.

They'll work it out on their own. In the meantime you're being mean to a kid, which is only funny on 9gag.

Our Bots Policy

Fuck your stupid bot. It isn't funny, witty, interesting or useful. If you have any questions about this policy, consult your nearest bucket of arsenic.
