WAHT

nothing pisses me off more than when an IDE has a normal dictionary spellchecker like yeah man i know that "nwidth" isn't in the dictionary i want to find the person who did this and arrange their intestines in a red squiggly line under their dead body

if you believe this, you should not be writing C

Jumpscare a "Nobody Reviews Compiler Output" developer with one simple logo.

@CaptainInsightX Lol, Carmack and Torvalds on the same page as some JS guy? No thanks. 😭

4 engineers who shaped modern software. You get 1 as your mentor for a year. Pick one. -DHH (creator of Ruby on Rails, CTO of 37signals) -John Carmack (creator of Doom, ex-CTO Oculus) -Linus Torvalds (creator of Linux & Git) -Guillermo Rauch (CEO of Vercel, creator of Next.js) Who are you picking, and why?

"Late stage capitalism" was coined by Werner Sombart in 1914. Socialists have been calling it "late stage" for over a hundred years now.

@ponceto91 Fichier et Fenêtre possèdent la même lettre initiale 😭😭

L'interface de GitHub si la plateforme avait été créée par Borland dans les années 90 🤓

"can you explain this large gap in your resume?" yeah i tried to move an image on word.

A man steps out onto the street and catches a taxi just as it’s going by. He gets in, and the cabbie says, “Perfect timing. You’re just like Frank.” “Who?” the passenger asks. “Frank Feldman,” the cabbie says. “He was a guy who did everything right, all the time. Like me coming along just when you needed a cab. Things like that always happened to Frank Feldman.” “Well, nobody’s perfect,” the passenger says. “Not Frank Feldman,” the cabbie replies. “He was a terrific athlete. He could’ve won a Grand Slam in tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone and danced like a Broadway star. And you should’ve heard him play piano. He was amazing.” “Sounds like he was something special,” the passenger says. “There’s more,” the cabbie continues. “He had a memory like a computer. He remembered everyone’s birthday. He knew all about wine — what to order, which fork to use. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street goes dark. But Frank Feldman could do everything right.” “Wow,” says the passenger, “what a guy.” “And he always knew the fastest route through traffic,” the cabbie adds. “Not like me. I’m always getting stuck. But Frank never made a mistake. And he knew how to treat a woman. He’d never talk back, even if she was wrong. His clothes were always spotless, his shoes polished. The perfect man. Nobody could measure up to Frank Feldman.” The passenger pauses, then asks, “So how did you meet him?” The cabbie says, “I never did. He died… and I married his wife.”

people be like "bear with me" and they have no bear with them

Age verification is going great

@abdimoalim_ individuals probably couldn't. It relies on a whole bunch of technologies that can't all possibly be made by a single person. Maybe an extremely simple, say electro-mechanical one. But even making a vacuum tube is extremely laborious, let alone transistors…

Only a few individuals would be able to reconstruct a computer from first principles in the event of a civilizational collapse.

Good question 😂

@geocucu crates.io

Github if IBM designed it in the 60s
