Whoever picked Simple Minds - Don't You (Forget About Me) for Deke Squad when Deke Shaw is (almost) alone in the alternate timeline, so pathetic (in the good original sense of the word), absolute genius, heartbreaking. #Marvel #AgentsOfSHIELD

I just wanted to run a Hello, world in Scala.
$ cat Hello.scala
$ scala run Hello.scala
Now it's downloading Spring and Jackson and the whole universe.
Scala, you okay? I'm worried about your mental health.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.
Just fuck you. Fuck you all.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

How often to laugh about a joke? 2025 version
1. When they're told the joke.
2. When they prompt the joke into their LLM.
3. When they read the LLM's reply.
4. When they understand the joke.
Step 4 becomes increasingly optional. So does the laughing.
Stay safe, use LLMs responsibly!

Europe is more than a region. Among other things, Europe is a humanist, democratic, liberal, and cultural idea. This idea can happen anywhere. We should change the statutes and negotiate with Canada about joining the European Union.

Do you have a system of delivery or a Rube Goldberg machine?
System of delivery:
git commit && git push ⇒ runs tests, if they pass, deploys to prod
Everything more complicated than that is a Rube Goldberg machine.

In 2022, I left Google in search of a sustainable approach to open source maintenance. A year later, I was a full-time independent maintainer.
Today I’m announcing the natural progression of that experiment: Geomys, a small firm of professional maintainers with a portfolio of critical Go projects.

Let me tell you a short story about "responsive design".
HTML was responsive all the way, from its very first version.
Then came print designers and broke responsiveness. "Best viewed in IE 800×600" (screw you!)
The fight to bring it back was hard until the mobiles came.
