A tabula rasa? In my file system?
- Comment on Scientists suck at naming and abbreviating stuff 2 weeks ago:
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.
- Comment on Scientists suck at naming and abbreviating stuff 2 weeks ago:
Then you’re clearly not deep enough into the world of array programming languages. See, K is a a programming language that takes many design cues from J, which is I’m turn based on APL. It’s known primarily for that and for KDB, the database engine written in it.

- Comment on Dyk, Bobby? 3 weeks ago:
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.

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

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

Huh, didn’t realise it was that old. TiL I guess.

15… Years? On the fediverse? How’d ya manage that without time travel?

Holy shit that film is so good and also like a really weirdly niche reference
- Comment on Pretty sound reasoning here. 1 month ago:
I think it’s probably fair to say that suggesting that a finger in the barrel of a gun would stop a bullet is a least 10x, if not 100x, worse than the Nazis.

You’ve got one day a fortnight to spend arguing about what was worst about Lean Code with some random wanker on the internet

Now you’re cooking with garlic 👌
- Comment on Science Journalism 2 months ago:
No. It’s all a bit hand-wavy and nebulous tbh; I think the only leg it’ll have to stand on will be if and when entanglement effects are seen to have a predictive power over complex states that we simply haven’t seen; and IMO at that point it ceases to be an argument about consciousness anyway
- Comment on Science Journalism 2 months ago:
Not that I’ve seen

I don’t really give a shit what you think, divorce is a big deal
- Comment on Very thankful 2 months ago:
Pretty condescending to tell somebody you don’t know that they need to get divorced too. Tbh libidos can go to shit after kids so yeah. Maybe my funny joke wasn’t so funny. Ah well, I always have had a crap sense of humour
- Comment on Very thankful 2 months ago:
For real though, why is everyone heading straight to divorce, instead of talking about how to tap that wife

economic metastasis Love it
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 3 months ago:
I never got the impression Michelle even wanted to run, and frankly I’m not impressed by the notion that the best candidate was a wife of a previous victor. Didn’t work out terribly well last time, and not actually particularly great credentials on their own
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
Bring back political executions! I can see no downsides!
- Comment on Please pick a password starting with ad and ending with min 3 months ago:
Might be checking the old password on the new password screen. Easy programming mistake to make I guess? Apply the same validation to all 3 password fields…
- Comment on Grok do a good 3 months ago:
No, not really. Just meant that, like, it’s not really that it’s different to someone else doing it; more like, that it’s bad whoever does it I guess
- Comment on Grok do a good 3 months ago:
I think it’s just that having a mistress at all is generally frowned upon these days.

Bonding time is important but it’s also important to get into the habit of looking after the children as a father. Otherwise odds on you won’t manage to bond very well with either your child or the mother 😅
