Can you please fucking chill?

The three big branches around me have well stocked maker spaces. I see young classes in there all the time.

Some have seed selections for gardeners. Many assist with tax preparation. I’ve heard of a few who lend music equipment (think mixers, PAs, synths) for musicians who can’t justify going all in getting their own gear.

Libraries are fucking rad.

“We have the chance to save U.S. democracy and rule of law, to elect the first woman President of the United States, and to send TFG packing. By contributing to Kamala Harris’s campaign via this portal, we can also encourage her to create a distinct presence on Mastodon, not mediated by Threads or any other social media provider.”

Promoting Mastodon isn’t even a tertiary goal. It’s just an “also encourage”. The primary goal is fundraising for a political candidate.

That’s why they always change the measure of success to just hurting The Other. It’s cheap and easier than solving problems.

That messaging works to keep their base engaged but capturing low-information swing voters is a bit trickier.

This sounds like they slept on oppo research and message testing for anyone but Biden and now they realize they’re at square one.

Like a Hoover vacuum

Dude didn’t stutter. Saving the woman.

I would argue that ASM isn’t “powerful”. It’s direct. You can access advanced features of a CPUs architecture with the trade off limited portability. Sometimes it’s necessary but power comes from being able to express complex control and data structures in a concise and readable amount of text.

The subjective topic of what “concise and readable” means is where the language wars come in.

What Crockford did was enable a lot of devs to realize there was a viable development platform built into the most prolific and open network client in the world. For that he should be commended but it should have never been taken as “this is a viable general purpose language”.

I love how after a decade pandoc is still Haskell’s “killer app”. smh
