Passionate about drug abuse & verbal abuse (i.e. British). Humble shit stacker. Dyxlessic. Also into humor. I touch on many different and varied topics. I'm not here to be a bitcoin fanboi. I'm here for the freedom and the opportunity to build something better. Shop local. Act local. Think global. "All censorships exist to prevent anyone from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions." -- George Bernard Shaw A truly open mind must be necessity be available to evaluate all propositions, also the unpalatable and heretical. - Me

Just a reminder that you can talk Hefty shit against Melon Suk here on nostr and he can't do shit to you. 🤣

Example:

Hey Melon, the gallows has your name on it!

PS: I never paid a dime for Twotter/"X" and I'm so happy that I didn't.

Age is far more than a number; age is building of experience, a growing potential for #wisdom.

Though not all make use of their potential in this regard.

Somalia sucks less than its Statist neighbors:

And that is _after_ the US, UN, Sa'udi and Turkey spent ~USF$1 tn trying to turn Somalia into a normal African dictatorship.

They haven't given up, of course. Freedom anywhere is a threat to Statism everywhere.

But a robust toolkit of non-State customs and culture can resist and win.

It's interesting seeing the resurgence of the things this old Ancap drummed a lot about back twenty tears ago. Indeed, it's true that Somalia fared a good deal better under Anarchy than under the predecessor nominally Socialist dictatorship, but there's also some other things that seem to be a constant: e.g.

That everything not nailed down or deeply embedded in the ground get ripped off and stolen, which is reason that mobile telephony was such a relative success in Somalia compared to the rest of Africa, because they simply couldn't run a traditional phone network due to the cabling consistently getting stolen by the locals. Wireless was the *only* way to run a functional communication system in this country!

Some already can but the OP is a wacko and not worth giving attention. Ymmv

PSA!

Hey people I've become aware that I'm not always getting a notification from your replies.

hence, if I do not acknowledge 'larger' replies or reactions that you give to my posts, it may simply be that I'm unaware of them ticking in.

Go, Python, and JavaScript are the software world’s equivalent of a flashy but undercooked meal at a cheap chain restaurant—overhyped, overused, and underwhelming. These languages are an infection, spreading their mediocrity across projects and minds alike, perpetuating a culture of laziness and half-baked engineering.

Go? It’s the IKEA furniture of programming languages. Sure, it assembles quickly, but don’t lean on it too hard—it’s got the structural integrity of wet cardboard. Its simplicity is a thinly veiled excuse for its lack of expressiveness. Error handling? Let's turn "verbosity" into a feature! Go is like a toddler with a hammer: everything looks like a nail, and the damage is everywhere.

Python, the darling of academia and wannabe data scientists, hides behind its indentation-as-syntax gimmick like a child wearing its parent’s coat. "Readable," they say, as if we’ve forgotten the mess of inconsistencies and runtime exceptions waiting to implode in production. It’s a scripting language duct-taped into being everything it was never meant to be—a hacker's sketch turned into Frankenstein’s monster.

And JavaScript, oh, JavaScript. It’s not a language; it’s a joke that got out of hand. Originally designed in ten days and it shows. JavaScript is what happens when you let chaos write code. It’s dynamic typing on crack, undefined everywhere, and callbacks nested so deep you could dig to China. Don’t even start on npm—dependency hell should be classified as a form of torture.

These languages thrive because they cater to the lowest common denominator of developers—those who mistake ease of use for good design. They’ve created a generation of coders who don’t think, don’t plan, and don’t care about performance or reliability. They are a plague, choking out the rigor and discipline that gave birth to software engineering in the first place.

Real programmers don’t need training wheels. We don’t need "convenience" that sacrifices clarity, stability, and control. We write code that lasts, that performs, that doesn’t need a rewrite every six months because the framework flavor of the week changed. If you want to build something worth a damn, throw away the bloat and start thinking like an engineer—not a script kiddie chasing trends.

What do you propose using in their stead?

It's important to light a light in the dark.

In several ways...
