Andrew Kelleyyou know how when you're a kid, you can't really make permanent mistakes? if you do it's kinda your parents fault, you know? until you become a teenager and then you start doing things like driving a car, having sex, saying yes or no to drugs, and all the sudden your choices are permanent for your entire life
I feel like humanity itself has entered its teenage years.

Just got tagged by someone on Mastodon with what seemed like an organic post that happened to mention me, but in reality it was LLM generated advertisement slop disguised as a blog post aimed at enticing specific individuals by tagging them.
It's like the spear phishing equivalent of marketing. Maddening.
And I can't even publicly shame them because that would just be giving them traffic.
Been inspired by @lemire and started to practice some more bit ops (python code from phone ).
labels = ["{}","Buzz", "Fizz","FizzBuzz"]
for i in range(1, 101):
dv3 = int(i % 3 == 0)
dv5 = int(i % 5 == 0)
sel = (dv3 << 1) | dv5
print(labels[sel].format(i))
Reasoning (pretty obv)
div 3 T
(1<<1)|0 = 2 (idx for Fizz)
div5 T
(0<<1)|1 = 1 (idx for Buzz)
both T
(1<<1)|1 = 3 (Idx for FizzBuzz)
both F = (0<<1) | 0 = 0 ( print count of i)
Branchless FizzBuzz. Easily scalable lol.
My fav chptrs are: Data Norm., Exist. Process. and FSM. I started prefixing my functions based on this table here, which makes it very easy to track bugs(the prefix alone makes me more aware ). There are some funny “philosophical” questions that arrive doing this, and I wonder what @fabs answer would be. Would an init func be a mutating func or a gen func. You could argue that uninited space is muted on initialisation, but that’s usually not thought of as a mutation.

all of these UI elements have to do with the current issue that the user is looking at, except one.
they *really* want to shove this shit down people's throats.
I'm heartened by seeing more people catch on to my political philosophy:
1. Don't take the black pill. People are Good, and we can fix this.
2. Don't virtue signal. Everybody is welcome in the tent.
3. The people who vote in exacerbation of the problem are confused, not evil. They are not only our allies, they are us.
All we need to do is recycle enough money throughout the economy, so that it doesn't pool at the top. Such a simple, easy fix, if we could stop bickering about other crap.
