Arguing over programming languages is like arguing about which car is best. People want the fastest, or the most versatile, or the safest, or just the best-looking. But in the end we’re all stuck in the same traffic jam.
PHP: Dolores Umbridge. I just hope she gets dragged away into the woods by a herd of centaurs.
C++: Alastor Moody. He’s got a face like a dropped pie. A lot of people wish he never got out of that chest. When shit hits the fan you’ll wish he was by your side.
C: Dobby. You can make fun of them, but the world runs on these elves. Dobby never meant to kill. He only meant to maim, or seriously injure.
Ada: McGonagall. Old. Strict. Boring. Will send a fucking ballistic missile your way if you don’t behave.
Haskell: Dumbledore. Allegedly the most powerful of them all. Too busy in his tower doing monads or something. Leaves real world problems for the peasant kids to solve.
JavaScript: Ron. How the fuck is THIS one of the main characters. Hangs out with the cool kids while being inferior at literally everything. Somebody fix his stupid wand.
Rust: Hermione. Can do A LOT. Always corrects you. I mean she’s not wrong but boy is it annoying. Secretly loves breaking rules by doing unsafe things.
Python: Harry. Everybody’s favorite despite not being the sharpest tool in the shed. Relies on others a lot to do the heavy work. Parseltongue 🐍.

"Is performance still an issue in this era of cheap 486 computers and super-fast Pentium computers? You bet."

Thread: a few highlights of my Japan trip.

Model of a pagoda with its top looking like a ceramic insulator
TIL they had high voltage power lines in ancient Japan
2012: “join Twitter? just so I can learn what some moron had for lunch?”
2024: “I’ve joined Bluesky to follow the ‘Good Lunch’ Feed. People post their lunch and others reply good lunch when it’s a good lunch”
Очень конечно жаль что интервью с дедом взяла не Филомена Канк
Я если честно, не понимаю отчего люди так угорают. Запросто же может быть две разные дороги: одна пешеходная, одна велосипедная.
