A little painting of a Pokémon birthday bash which I did recently for my brother.
It was fun experimenting with coloured ink with my dip pen, it helped create a more colourful and brighter picture! My favourites in this are the Psyduck (yellow duck) and Totodile (blue crocodile).
re: C++
@wallhackio @aescling i’m ideologically opposed to languages which aren’t developed by a standards organization but swift is good
it’s silly that .c files sort before .h files when, logically, .h files should come first. i therefore propose changing the C file extension to: ©
re: C++
@wallhackio @aescling javascript has pretty much always operated under the pretense of “we will present a (comparatively) simple and understandable mental model to programmers and simply invest a lot of time and resources developing compilers that can optimize that to be fast”. the problem is that javascript gives its compilers very little information, and the fact that the runtime environment is a browser where anyone can open up devtools at any time and muck around places real limitations on how many optimizations they can do.
swift follows the same principle of “present a simple and understandable mental model, then rely on the compiler to make it fast”, but it is designed in such a way as to give the compiler a vast trove of information to work from, and when run as a static binary the possibility space is a lot more known.
(also javascript takes a stance of “you can change anything unless you explicitly prohibit it” while swift takes a stance of “everything is immutable unless you explicitly enable changing it”, which sure does make optimizations easier)

when leftists use an antisemitic template but target it at capitalists, what they are saying, at least historically, is not “the capitalists are jews” / “the jews are capitalists” but rather “the antisemites are wrong; it’s not the jews that are the problem, it’s the capitalists”. they are willing to entertain a conspiracy but find the jewish people innocent.
but then the nazis came along and did make those equations, which of course makes it impossible to tell just from the denouncement of capitalists whether some·one is a leftist or a nazi, and the leftists never really figured out how to counter that
anyway this is why you should only hang out with leftists who have developed beyond european leftism because those tropes don’t exactly have currency anywhere else
explained of course by the fact that the people who came up with contemporary antisemitism and the people who came up with contemporary leftism were largely living in the same countries at the same time and responding to the same material conditions
unfortunately co·opting antisemitic tropes while replacing all references to jews with references to capitalism is a long leftist tradition
re: C++
@aescling @wallhackio you could argue javascript did this first but arguably javascript is pretty bad at letting computers do anything
re: C++
@aescling @wallhackio swift takes the novel programming language approach of “what if we let computers do the things computers are good at and just let humans write sensible code”
re: C++
@wallhackio i’m not expecting C compilers to do the whole “actually we wait to make a copy until we are sure the object is going to be modified” dance but i do at least hope they are smart enough for “if this function never modifies the object and the object is not extern and only visible in a single thread, you don’t have to copy it”
C++
@wallhackio the first sentence is just swift, but they changed the rest of it to “now what if we let the compiler optimize all of that away”

oh my god they’re doing a naïve replacement of NBSP to SP
if you get a phone number with an area code far from where you live identifying location-targeted scams is a lot easier i gotta say
those WSDOT scammers are really at it huh
@wallhackio this is essentially the only valid definition in C; i think C++ is fuckier tho
i haven’t used pandoc seriously in like five years but i still always check the release notes
