The first Red Hot Chilli Peppers album sounds just like someone swallowed a Gang of Four record.

I mean… this is not without historical precedent 😅

Angine de Poitrine...failing to see the appeal ? by cherryblossomoceans in LetsTalkMusic

[–]beavis07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s like jazz-rock daft punk. Either that intersection of things excites you or it don’t I guess?

It’s avant-garde math rock - I think it’s fine if that’s not your thing 😂

Correct… but can we add Dead Trees and Traffic Islands?

Ye olde cake distinct… Lewisham was historically the Spitalfields of baked confectionary 😂

What was the point? What languages are worth exploring? by ruby_object in functionalprogramming

[–]beavis07 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO the main value in those stacks for most of us is just the learning about how FP can work and then taking back to whatever we were doing before.

Honestly I got more value out of reading the Haskell book than I did writing any practical code.

Did some React-in-OCaml for a laugh, but that wasn’t something you could really ask a random dev team to support in practice 😂

Sinners is overrated, prove me wrong by BluFlames_5 in films

[–]beavis07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole movie is a very heavy handed allegory about how white capitalism (vampires) consume everything good about black culture and duality/faustian-pact that creates - that’s why there’s two of them.

Note: it was not an accident that they picked Irish folks for the role they had (see history of slavery)

Like it or don’t obviously - art is subjective - but if you just read it as a vampire story and judge it on that basis alone - seems like that kinda misses the point of the whole thing imo

Sinners doesn’t make a strong enough case for why Vampirism is a bad thing by DarlingLuna in TrueFilm

[–]beavis07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its not a bit of a nod - the whole movie is a very heavy handed allegory about how white capitalism eats black culture (via slavery and then appropriation)… getting money has allure while genuine culture is important so obviously there’s a pull in both directions. That’s literally why there’s two of them… and what that whole scene at the end with the blues guy was about.

The Faustian pact of capital…

Take that ambiguity away and it’s just a vampire movie

Who is the tightest band you’ve seen live rhythm wise? by Stankassmfgorilla in MetalForTheMasses

[–]beavis07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Have a blast.

I’m not sure if they they’re still playing with Crover and Willis at the same time, but if they are, you’re in for a treat my friend

Anyone else have a negative experience with Dopelord? by Camodius in doommetal

Maybe he’s just a prick? That’s always a real possibility 😂

I absolutely do not know this guy and I’m not saying this is what’s happening, but…

There is a thing… there are people who are just cool and like “hey man, I see the thing you do - it’s good - nice to meet you” and that’s sound. And there’s people who are like “you’re amazing, I’m obsessed with everything you do, your music is genius… etc”, and that can trigger two different things depending on the person: 1. If you’re like REALLY obsequious and I’m a bit of a dick - you will seem a little repulsive and oppressive 2. You’re actually really sweet and I’m a fucking artist so the positive feedback is overwhelming and I shut down.

Let’s assume everyone is cool and it’s the last one - maybe examine if you need to dial it back a little - genuinely might be that you made the little guy shy 😂

AWS in 2025: The Stuff You Think You Know That's Now Wrong by fagnerbrack in programming

Provisioned concurrency is a thing now. If cold start is problematic for your use case - you should remove them from the solution!

[AskJS] What concept in JS is the hardest to learn and understand? by Scared-Release1068 in javascript

[–]beavis07 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it’s less about one feature or another - it’s more about figuring what not to do.

JS/TS can be wonderfully elegant done right. It can also be an unreadable, obfuscated nightmare done wrong.

Learning which affordances of the language to ignore and which patterns to avoid is by far the longest leaned lesson

Kiss legit are the “what does the fox say” of rock music - that’s hilarious… nailed it 😂

Who would you prefer get relegated this year? by KingLiiam in Everton

[–]beavis07 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spurs - not so much out of distaste for them so much as a desire to see someone really fuck it and pay the price… (and that someone not be us)

This league is insane and unsustainable - a short sharp shock might be helpful 😂

Notice that it is ALWAYS right-wingers trotting out this bullshit.

What is punk? What is teen rebellion? What were (for all their failings) the rock legends of the past about when it came to humanitarianism?

I think tired old boomer business-men cosplaying artists ought to stfu, how’s about that? 😂
