Oh come on, you might not agree with them employee but he (probably) murdered a man - not everyone's willing to give a free pass on the 'right murder' and I don't think they should be threatened with violence over this disagreement

Trial and error, oh my God yes. So much error. Such a trial. But also try to pay attention to detail... If something seems to generally work but then doesn't for this one case, it might be completely broken and just spitting out plausible stuff the rest of the time. But anyway yeah, you've got the spirit.

I legit use a J interpreter instead of a calculator on my phone. I wrote fizzbuzz a few times - it was hard for me in J, but I've done it. K is real but I can't even write fizzbuzz in it.

I remember Linus saying in an interview that he'd only really been involved in git for the first 6 months or so and that the other devs had managed it without him since then. This makes sense - Linus's creations aren't successful because he's the only person who understands them, they're successful because there are so many other collaborators on them.

Then you're clearly not deep enough into the world of array programming languages. See, K is a programming language that takes many design cues from J, which is in turn based on APL. It's known primarily for that and for KDB, the database engine written in it.

Were nonetheless equally mean!

This is great advice. It's easy to get disheartened with a spinning torrent, but heroes like you can turn that around.

Some trees do a bit, I guess? Like, beech trees will release some chemicals to inhibit other plant growth, and iirc their leaves do that as they decompose, as well as the root system itself. But depends on the plant and mostly bunk I believe.

Under any circumstances for anything

I wouldn't take an eternity of existence under any circumstances for anything. Please just let me fucking die when I'm done.

You never quit Emacs. You just... die...

Big RIP. Used to go on that site quite a lot back when it still had good clients

Paywalled, can you dump the text?

Yeah, March 2025, don't you remember? Plate armour was back in for a while.

Ah well fuck 'em then. Still, every time I go on there it's fairly rich with memes and shitposts, and fairly low on everything else. Quite value that trickle of content.
