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.
I can't remember the last time I was this angry.

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)

LLMs are like overconfident white men. They may be wrong but they say it with such authority that people believe them.
There are still a lot of smart people who seem to be surprised and upset that they can't make AI stop making shit up. Like that's literally what it does. "I told it not to do that!" Cool. But you it can't understand right? You're not giving it "instructions". It's just words.

I wrote a blog post about why you should throw away Bash and use Python for more complicated scripts. It's not surprising, but I think too many people forget it's even an option:

Use Python for Scripting!
"Use the right tool" is nice in theory, but not when the tool acts a bit differently from machine to machine, and isn't always installed.

Okei. Helt seriøst nå.
MDG måles til 7,1%. Det er vilt bra!
Men dette er IKKE trygt.
Sist vi fløy så høyt var i 2021. «Klimavalget». ALLE trodde MDG skulle ta sperregrensa.
Vi kom skarve 1721 stemmer unna.
Det kommer til å skje igjen om du ikke stemmer grønt i dag.
Bli med på vinnerlaget!💚
