ENTP ➡️ Devil's advocate. Tries to avoid getting trolled into polarising discussions, often failing, thus gradually turning into a middle-aged caricature.

@beckysblank Sorry about that. It's stuff like this that reminds me that Twitter is a lousy medium for discussion that strives to provoke thoughtful debate ☹️ Everything and everyone ends up getting condensed into a oneliner. Oh, well. At least it's a good source of reading material.

@kellabyte Correct, and I'm not going to police you and pretend to be some kind of moral paragon, I'm just going to call you slurs.

@ThomasRPapp @kellabyte You truly make a terrible case for your own perspective, Tommy. There are no arguments, just layers of meta-arguments paired with bad manners.

@kellabyte No, it's social science and not understanding power dynamics or differences in vantage/perspective is the reason your expectations are a naive form of equality instead of equity.

@Aaronontheweb Wait, Bun uses Zig? Thought it was all C++. That rewrite drama is wild.

Against my will, I have been forced to learn about the Bun / Zig drama. Here's my understanding: - Bun == thing that crashes OpenCode & Claude Code - Rust == artisanal programming language for furries - Zig == even more artisanal programming language for devs who think Rust is too mainstream - Anthropic acquires Bun because machine god says so - Bun uses machine god to rewrite from Zig to Rust - Zig creator accuses Bun of selling out, going mainstream, or something - Bun still crashes Claude Code and Open Code

@kellabyte How is this a personal attack? He is just stating some obvious character traits of Jared. For example, here is a personal attack: Jared is a dysgenic freak that likely was touched by Peter Thiel. There you go, now you know the difference.

The personal attacks on Jarred have not stopped by the way. They have continued on the Zig mailing list.

@ErlingsTake @DrSimEvans @ramez You answered your own question. Local <> Global. Not the same. Does not mean we are seeing problems everywhere at the same time, even if the problem is at a global scale. While the global temp has increased 1.5C, temps in the Svalbard has by 5C since 1971, around 7°C in winter

NEW: Eight facts about air conditioning amid an overheated global debate KEY FACT: Many European cities, on the world's fastest-warming continent, never needed AC in the past For some strange reason – I can't imagine why – many commentators prefer to ignore this

So no, the difference is not “facts versus handwaving.” It is facts interpreted with context versus facts selected to support a predetermined conclusion. My longer response addresses specific examples and sources. gist.github.com/fatso83/fb1a57…

You also rely on mismatched comparisons: US heat records against global trends, land warming against global thresholds, local pH variability against long-term acidification, and combined sea ice against Arctic decline.

You are right about one thing: your post contains sourced facts. But sources do not guarantee sound reasoning. The central problem is that several of your conclusions do not follow from the facts you cite.
Willis Eschenbach@WEschenbach

@grahamcrac40921 @hausfath CC, in my post, I presented FACTS about the climate, with the source of every fact listed so you can check each one. You presented NO facts and no sources, just uncited, unverified claims, i.e., handwaving. I hope you can see the difference between those two … w.

@johnstretch @hausfath What is nonsense? Be specific. The numbers are quite telling, so is it the general claim that it was not hot enough to need it? Having less than one day on average of above 30 degrees would not be enough to defend the expense. But in *some* buildings it would. He said generally.

@hausfath Nonsense. All Europe could benefit from AC including UK. We should treat heating and cooling as the same process, just trying to produce a comfortable living or working environment. I worked in Aberdeen for many years and AC would often have been welcome.

Why is AC so rare in much of Europe? Well, until recently it simply wasn't hot enough to need it. Here is the average number of days above 30C (86F) for major cities over time:

@spirodonfl I like the general spin, but focusing on a library from 2012 with so much overhead? Should you not be using a more modern alternative like Marko, if you are not held down by legacy? Initial page render performance is abysmal in React and NextJS land with the amount of code.

If you're still writing raw DOM manipulations in 2026 instead of React you're not a programmer, you're a time traveler from 2012 who got lost. React is the evolution. Rejecting it is rejecting progress itself. Get with the program or get left behind. #reactsupremacy

@spirodonfl this is just ragebait slop. "proven". No. So much useless crap tests coming out of Claude and Codex. Needs manual washing to avoid the whole codebase deteriorating. WTF is TDD coverage anyway? Line coverage? Branch coverage?

Imagine not having 100% TDD coverage Imagine poking holes in prophilactic and thinking you're safe and then being promiscuous as hell after you have no excuse now that AI has been proven to write 100% perfectly perfect tests for everything in fact stop programming you're useless now

@DanEddBland @LightOnLiberty The only Henry Ford I know is the car maker. And careers are ended over many things, including bad science. There are not many that end their careers by publishing good, peer-reviewed studies, even if controversial, so would be nice to read. An unpublished study is not worth much

@kopseng @LightOnLiberty It’s the Henry Ford study which wasn’t published because the lead author admitted his career would be over if he did.

A UK professor found extraordinarily high aluminum levels in autistic brains and all of it was concentrated in immune cells. The aluminum in vaccines isn't even natural, it's man-made nanoparticles your immune system can't process in the slightest. Studies of deceased individuals show people with autism have EXTRAORDINARILY HIGH levels of aluminum in their brains. The autistic brains are in a permanent state of chronic inflammation.
