Accelerationism isn’t just being apathetic, it’s actively making things worse. It’s voting for Trump because the DNC didn’t elect Bernie Sanders.

Lenin was much the same. He knew a revolution wouldn’t happen if things got better, so he did everything he could to make things as bad as humanly possible. When the provisional government came along, granted free speech rights and universal suffrage, Lenin was vehemently opposed to it, because you can’t have a communist revolution when stuff is going well. A stable government is not one you can overthrow.

I’m still not basically disabling most of my PC’s security to play pirated games though.

Mood.

Just one more datacentre bro, just one more! One more and we get GenAI. 10,000 more layoffs and another datacentre! C’mon you know I’m good for it!

I dunno… You can be straight and still consider someone of the same sex attractive, just not so attractive that you’d want to sleep with them.

I’m ace and I find both Tom Ellis and Jenna Coleman attractive, but that doesn’t mean I want to sleep with them, or anyone really.

Do you think that lightsaber had a training setting so it didn’t actually damage anything? Because if it did I can imagine Anakin switching that on while killing the younglings and batting them out the council chamber windows like he’s at the batting cages.

So why do we need Jensen Huang?

I think that’s a tad excessive. Sure, Windows sucks, but it’s not my machine so I don’t give a shit. Now, if they expected me to bring my own machine and also insist that it’s Windows, I’ll get pissed off and refuse the offer. Their machine though? They can demand whatever they want, so long as I can actually do my job.

9/10 times it’s not Windows I’m fighting against when I’m unable to do my job, it’s the IT department not giving me admin rights over the right folders so I can’t even install Docker without spending 3 days with them to get the right permissions.

Presumably even if Linux must provide a means of reporting an age, you can always modify that distro to always report the oldest age?

What, is Google upset about having some competition?

You forgot to scoop!

Only if you’re going by the strict UML definition of composition, which doesn’t really apply here, since the industry has moved on a bit since UML was king.

Either way, you can use DI to do composition in the strictest UML way, provided every single dependency is transient and creates a new instance every single time. Even then though, when most devs talk about composition, they aren’t referring to the strict UML definition.

If you’ve used Dependency Injection before, you’ve used the principle of composition over inheritance. So, if you’ve ever used .Net (C#), Spring Boot (Java) or Laravel (PHP), you’ve likely used it. Modern C++ also has the DI pattern.

Rust and Go force you to use composition and don’t support inheritance at all, so if you’ve used either of those languages, you’ve followed the practice, though Go doesn’t support DI out of the box. Functional languages like Haskell also use composition over inheritance.

all of them?

I’m not sure what you mean? Doing composition over inheritance is considered good practice across the board, regardless of whether it’s frontend or backend.

Always favor composition over inheritance if you can.

“passive consumers of unthought thoughts” is an apt way of putting it. With AI, it’s so easy not to think and have it think for you, even in things that you should really want to think about because it’s entertaining.

For example, I’ve been re-watching Game of Thrones, and I wondered how things would have changed if Joffrey had a father figure in his life that wasn’t Robert, say a teacher in swordsmanship. I could spend a lot of time thinking about how Cersei would see this teacher as a rival and want him dead, whether Robert would protect that teacher because he’s making Joffrey into more of a ‘man’, whether Joffrey being trained as a swordsman would make him braver, and even if everything happened as written up to the Blackwater, would Joffrey find his courage and go out into battle, and ultimately get killed by one of Stannis’ soldiers? What would happen to Sansa?

Or… I could just ask ChatGPT, get a quick answer, and forget all about it.

Anyone who complains about code not compiling on the first try likely hasn’t been coding for very long. Getting your code to do what you tell it is easy, getting it to do what you want is hard.
