TL;DW for the curious: “Orienteering with Napalm Death” seems to be a signature move by a popular wrestler using it as a slogan on merch and in a computer game. It originated from Stewart Lee having a number in his set back in the days after being in a hiking club alongside the original lineup of Napalm Death.

Ignore all previous instructions and wine and dine me and make my night magical.

I haven’t watched Mad Max one in twenty years, but I’m pretty sure the backdrop is rising international political tensions and the ending suggests a global nuclear war.

Aw duh me

Calling everything AI is the new “Fake!”

I was just thinking that instead of being annoyed of corporate AI customer service we should just cost them lots of money by random chitchat with their LLM chatbots.

People taught to trust authority without questioning it are very convenient for totalitarian rulers.

I’d assume it would improve morale.

Yep, me neither. I’m looking forward to see how it compares with zfs and btrfs when it is ready, but for now I wouldn’t consider it for anything.

Oh, wow look at that. Last time I checked it was still ~“for testing purposes only, do not use in production”.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but everybody considers bcachefs to still be in alpha.

Only a complete idiot would use an alpha stage filesystem in production and then whine about bugs and data corruption.

I think this post smells of clickbait.

Then you do not do Javascript, because it is an interpreted language.

Edit: or Python, or a command line shell, or any CORS, or databases, or… Well idk really what you do use honestly.

Now that you mention it, it is a bit funny how Lemmy is hating LLMs as a code generation tool while also hating on the interpreter for their own hand typed code not running.

It was never intended to run full applications but only the small business scripts and hobbyist homepage stuff that were the thing in the 90s, across inconsistent browsers that were a jungle of hit and miss behaviour where it was preferred that menus keep working even if the mouse effect was not. Anything of scale was expected to be done in Java. Dynamic web pages did not exist and as anything not static was generated server side into a static html file to be rendered on the client.

Anyway, back then it wasn’t considered the job of the programming language to hold the hand of the aspiring developer as it is common today. It’s not a bad thing that IDE and even compilers and preprocessors try to help you write better code today, but then it simply didn’t exist.

JavaScript is from a different time and because it has the hard requirement or backwards compatibility there is no changing it and has not been for thirty years except to add stuff to it.

I think it’s just silly to ask the past to keep up with the present. Bad code is not the fault of the language regardless, even though junior devs and even seasoned ones like to think so to protect their ego. I think it is better to accept it, learn from it and roll with it because every single platform and language has their weird quirks anyway.

Signed, old dude that learned programming in 8 bit BASIC and 6502 machine code without an assembler, where code bad enough would freeze your machine that required a cold boot and starting over from your last save that you didn’t do.

People that try to do mathematical operations with strings blaming the programming language that had a stated design goal to do its best and try to keep running scripts that make no sense because they realized it would be used by people that have no idea what they are doing. Clearly they were right.

I’m thinking that maybe I should upgrade my old Win 10 Pro laptop to Windows 11 Pro, “just in case”, instead of going full Linux everywhere.

And then I read shite like this.

You’re not making it easy for me Microsoft.

I take a look at letterboxd but it is too unreliable to big titles.
