Only on the Orange Website: a story in three acts. (The problem was since resolved.)
@JamesGleick he sounds more and more like someone with some sort of mental problem
And the twerps has as a ā€œbaseā€ think Biden has mental issues.
I fail to understand why the networks and the press don’t hound Trump night and day about this. A continual string of the Bumblefuck’s sound bites would be great election material.
@dgar lol took me a few moments to get it, but this is pretty clever 😁

Do you remember the bad old days of programming, using languages like Perl and (old) Javascript? Simple and intuitive type conversions, so that in JS `[1, 2, 10].sort() === [1, 10, 2]`. Dynamic scope. Languages that proudly display mistakes that were fixed in the 1970s and 80s.

Then things started to get better. Perl is basically dead. Javascript is only partly insane. Newer languages like Scala, Swift, Rust, and Kotlin just avoided that mess and moved things into the 1990s or even (gasp) later.

Then the YAML engineer came along and dared to ask "What if we brought all that bullshit back?"

@jbrains yeah, this is more or less what I've been using. Something atomic-ish in concept space that is roughly complete by itself.

A TX man w/AR-15 killed 5 people "execution style." Two female victims were killed lying on top of 2 surviving kids & 3 surviving kids were covered in blood. All b/c they asked him to stop shooting while their baby slept.

This GOP "well regulated militia," has this month alone killed people for:
•Sitting in the wrong car
•Knocking on wrong door
•Turning into wrong driveway
•Attending the wrong birthday party
•Basketball rolls into the wrong lawn
•Asking the wrong neighbor to let your baby sleep
