@aescling @wallhackio makefiles mostly just read like technical specifications where there's a big list of definitions at the beginning and you need to just skip them and then look back at them later when you start getting confused

today¦s cursed G·N·U Make recipe

if there are so many trans women in programming why haven’t they written any programming languages

i think it’s really cool how the semantic web people did a bunch of work and wrote a bunch of theory about how we can teach computers to reason, and then within a few years mostly agreed that having computers reason is a waste of time, but kept the formal specifications and vocabulary because it actually made things easier for humans to explain things to each other

it’s not Inconsistent to say that ontologies are a kind of object, it’s just Wrong

this is fine for what i’m doing so far but i’m still waiting for that Moment when a specification inevitably tries to use an Ontology Itself as the subject or object of an object property, thus implying that owl:Ontology is an owl:Class not merely an rdfs:Class (these are not the same)

Show thread

anyway the actually interesting insight wasn’t in that specification but in the specification mapping R·D·F to Direct Semantics which states, with no fanfare, that all owl:OntologyProperty’s (note: this term is not documented) are silently transformed into owl:AnnotationProperty’s (interesting for the insight that properties of ontologies are functionally annotations in their implications)

if you are wondering how bad it can be, you have clearly never read a Semantics specification

learning cursed knowledge (reading the Owl 2 R·D·F‐Based Semantics specification)

not sure creating an Owl ontology from handwritten X·M·L is ever a good idea but if it is i’m sure getting close with it

literally rewound because i KNOW the lyric is boy and doesn’t sound at all like girl but that is what i heard ok

brain just audibly replaced "boy" with "girl" while listening to Sweetie by Carly Rae Jepsen and yeah sure

@aescling
• they keep adding new evolutions
• some people are only familiar with the classics and hate anything which came out after 2001

@aescling
• weird names
• “there’s no way that’s real; you just made that up”
• “ok well SOMEBODY who designed this has a kink”
• there’s lots of them

no i don’t just mean for manual work it’s hard to think when it is hot ok

hourly pay should be directly correlated with the heat index at the location where the work is happening, and length of workday likewise inversely correlated
