Why are we looking for new technologies?

Why are we writing new software? There’s plenty already.

Nice de Chirico vibe on the top left panel.

The midichlorian is the powerhouse of the Force.

The “do re mi” system is called solfege, and there are actually two versions on it. In one, “do” is always C and in the other, “do” is the root note of the scale being used.

Like coriander vs cilantro. Actually that’s the only example I know.

Ironic because poppy seeds have very little flavor and coca literally numbs your tongue.

And being a nightmare to figure out what code is whereas they all communicate independently.

So much this. Especially in a larger company it can be basically impossible to find the code that implements an endpoint, and of course even if you can find it you can’t trace it in a debugger.

For an application? Never. I’d still use it for something very small like a build script where the hassle of separate compile and run stages makes the whole thing a hassle to use. That might change now, though, since I think Node has gained the ability to execute Typescript directly.

Typescript and JavaScript are different languages and the distinction is important, especially because the two are used in conjunction with each other.

So edgy, so creative.

I didn’t think you realize just how much code is written in JavaScript these days.

Only long texts?

I know a colorblind XX person. But he’s a trans man, so make of that what you will.

When you make drug use easier, there is less incentive for that person to want to get clean.

You seem to have some very naive ideas about drug abuse. Drug addicts always have problems that caused them to become drug addicts. For someone without underlying problems, getting clean is its own reward and requires no extra incentives. If you truly care about getting people off drugs, you have to fix the problems that caused them to become addicts in the first place, but that’s difficult and expensive so nobody wants to talk about it.

Wut.

I know people in tech who use iPhones. But they’re definitely the exception.

I’m old enough to remember when 4 of those 5 languages were the hot new thing. You’d have had me ignore them all and keep using C for everything. If I had done that I wouldn’t have even landed my first job.

There you go again flinging insults at anyone who disagrees with you.

Yeah, because the new tools are never actually better, right? If condescending luddites like you had your way we’d still be living in the literal stone age. At every step of the way, people like you have smugly said that the older, more established ways of doing things were good enough and new ways were just a fad that would die out.

Your favorite language was dismissed as fad when it was new. High level languages were a fad. Computing was a fad. Electricity was a fad. See a pattern?

Nice job projecting with the “only morons” bit, BTW, when it is in fact you who started off by denigrating people whose preferences are different from yours.

Clearly Rust is a conspiracy.
