Oh you know shit just got real when we're trotting out "Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi."

It is very hard for me to explain the level of 80's Pig Empire fuckery it is to drag this muppet out like Juan Guaido as the implied "true" leader of Iran.

"Crown Prince."

Fuck man, we are the worst people.

Hier das Video direkt ohne Umweg zu TikTok:

"You can tell what happened — Google promised iNaturalist free money if they would just do something, anything, that had some generative AI in it. iNaturalist forgot why people contribute at all, and took the cash."

Google bribes iNaturalist to use generative AI — volunteers quit in outrage

iNaturalist is a website that crowdsources pictures of plants and animals to help identify species. Its tagline is “A Community for Naturalists.” iNaturalist is administered by its own small charit…

Pivot to AI
@arbres @hal_pomeranz Yes, let us return to the paradise of the 1960s.

@resuna What half a dozen variations?

C (C++, Java, PHP, JavaScript, ...):

// single statement
if (foo) bar();
// block
if (foo) {
bar();
baz();
}

Perl:

// single statement
bar() if foo;
// block
if (foo) {
bar();
baz();
}

I don't mind unless if that's what you mean. It's just a negated if and follows the same syntax.

As for different string quoting styles, I actually like that a lot (especially custom delimiters). It lets you choose what is most readable for any given situation. But fundamentally, it's just two types of "normal" quotes (q and qq) and two types of here-doc. What do you think requires language lawyering?

Other languages have much more complicated syntax, e.g.:

2. Lexical analysis

A Python program is read by a parser. Input to the parser is a stream of tokens, generated by the lexical analyzer(also known as the tokenizer). This chapter describes how the lexical analyzer brea...

@resuna @sjn @lemgandi @cstross Absolutely not my experience, and I've worked with hundreds of Perl modules that were written or modified by other people. I've never had to be a language lawyer.

What's far more annoying is formatting idiosyncrasies like insisting on spaces between array names and indices (like $foo [0]), no space before = for assignment ($foo= 42;), or putting a line break before {, but not after:

sub foo($n)
{ my $x = false;
if ($n % 2 == 0)
{ $x = true;
# etc.
}
return $x;
}

Absolutely awful to work with if you need to remove the first statement or insert new statements before the first statement in a block.

Switching languages won't save you from these (OK, except for the case of braces in Python).

Maybe, as a bank, you should not be using a random library taken from the internet, with a single maintainer and some 100 stars, and make it a critical dependency of your banking operations.

Maybe, as a bank, your IT should write and maintain such a library and open source it.

Maybe, as a bank, you should not continue to use the first library, and do the second thing after the first library was able to take down critical parts of your infra the first time.

Because we live in a society, and as a bank, you should be contributing to it, too.

But then, what do I know.

Wäre natürlich cool, wenn @altbot auch funktionieren würde.

@barubary Das Bild zeigt eine moderne Architektur in einer städtischen Umgebung. Im Vordergrund befindet sich eine breite Straße mit gepflasterten Gehwegen und ein paar Fußgänger, die entlanggehen. Im Hintergrund erheben sich mehrere Gebäude mit einer auffälligen, geometrischen Fassade, die aus weißen und dunklen Fenstern besteht. Die Gebäude sind überdimensionale Säulen aufgestellt, die sie von der Straße abheben. Die Fassade weist ein regelmäßiges Muster aus Fenstern auf, das sich in verschiedenen Ebenen wiederholt. Der Himmel ist teilweise bewölkt, was eine weiche Beleuchtung über die Szene wirft. Auf einem der Gebäude ist der Name "Bank Austria" sichtbar. Die Architektur und die Umgebung vermitteln ein Gefühl von moderner Urbanität und Fortschritt.
