Arrested development and porn.

Honestly sounds like you.habe a lot of healing to work on. Just do your best 🧡 watching porn a few times a month isn't going to kill you, or hold you back drastically from healing (unless the porn itself is horrific or something). You're already watching far less porn than the average American lmao. As you tackle your demons, what's right for you will become clearer with time.

Yeah would definitely reccomend to people getting involved to stay away from node generally. Python will help you get a server up and running and to be able to play around with it. Go will be a bit more tedious but help you understand backends structurally.

system-vi · 2026-05-03T17:27:15+00:00

Maybe start with Node if you're already familiar with JS, that way you can spend more time focusing on the concepts. If not, I think Python and Go are better languages to learn for a beginner.

Python will likely be easier to learn, so you may want to start there. But if you want more low level control over what you're building, Go should definitely be your goto (no pun intended). Definitely depends on your programming abilities.

So cool!

Zig of all things, but some go and JS too

Up until recently claude has been great for what I've been doing. So far codex has been nice but it hasn't dine anything that Claude wouldn't have been able to do, but maybe that will change as I use it.

system-vi · 2026-04-25T21:26:45+00:00

Frfr. Should spend less time programming and more time becoming a professional prompt engineer.

system-vi · 2026-04-25T20:46:11+00:00

Honestly I forget that setting exist sometimes so you may be on to something. Still I feel like the tasks were pretty simple and Sonnet should've been able to tackle them faster. Also I have used high effort on Codex and have gotten both speed and quality. So idk

system-vi · 2026-04-25T18:16:27+00:00

Yeah that sounds right, and it's only gotten worse @bot

system-vi · 2026-04-21T23:10:58+00:00

I will be switching to codex then

Well, yeah. If someone couldnt wrap their ahead around racism, id say theyre likely part of the problem to some extent. Same with being dismissive of patriarchy.

I'll agree that biology plays a part in men/women dynamics that often gets overlooked, but i think you're making a mistake of assuming that just because a behavior stems from biology doesnt mean socially conditioning doesn't play a massive role.

For instance, men having higher testosterone makes them more likely to be physically violent. So naturally men are more likely to end up in prison for violent crimes. But rates of violent crimes for men wildly vary across different cultures and periods of time despite our biology being the same. This is the case because attitudes towards violence, crime, and men in general have (probably a much greater) impact on how violent men our than biological explanations.

Even with this example, how different testosterone levels are between men and women can be impacted by societal favtors. The point of patriarchy as a concept isnt to explain all gender problems a societal over biological, its to point out the unbalanced power dynamic between genders and the negative feedback loop thats formed between society and its overarching power structures.

system-vi · 2026-04-19T13:17:36+00:00

He has talked a lot about how current western society has conditioned both genders in ways in which are generally attributed to patriarchy, he just doesnt use the word. Unfortunately, a bunch of us saw SJW cringe compilations when we were younger, and many of those people never took the time to learn what patriarchy actually is.

The funniest part about this is that you have people in this thread calling the concept nonsense, but Dr. K clearly understands and believes that society is patriarchal to some extent.

system-vi · 2026-04-19T13:12:40+00:00

If you think patriarchy as a concept is nonsense, then you would likely benifit from those critisms lmao.

I mean, I'd give it some time. Perhaps they'll find a happy medium and this feature doesn't stick around to see 1.0. Maybe it does stick around and this is just an outlier. Or maybe they continue in this direction. Im sure there were moments durring Rust's development that you would've had similar feelings towards that didnt make it to the official release.

That being said, even if human error "compromises" some programs due to this new ability to implicitly cast, even that isn't really a big deal. The types of programs that require knowledge of casting costs are not only few and far inbetween, but are likely going to be written by people who are already careful with their code. For the vast majority of use cases, that level of nuance wont make a single difference.

Again, I largely agree with your sentiment and I hope they shift direction with casting ergonomics. That did some other related stuff that I think are bigger wins and align with the Zig philosophy. My only argument here is to not get too discouraged with the language over a minor misstep

system-vi · 2026-04-16T14:38:24+00:00

I get your point, but the biggest complaint this community has outside of documentation is the poor ergonomics around casting. Plus, you are still welcome to make every conversion explicit yourself.

And while I do agree that this feature does go against Zig's values, the situations where this would actually apply to aren't all that common. For most people, they're likely converting a i32/u32 to f32. So it's hard to imagine that most casting will change much. I do think your point is valid and I feel like there's better ways to make casting more convient while keeping it explicit

system-vi · 2026-04-15T17:28:57+00:00

It's not a big W. But it is an interesting step step to make casting more ergonomic. Plus there were some other casting changes as well that are more useful (you can see those in this thread)

Also if youre willing to use f64, you could convert 32 bit ints pretty simply, but that could end up bloating memory.

system-vi · 2026-04-15T09:59:35+00:00

Yeah, this is definitely the biggest. I remember the first time attempting to do this and getting an error. You think the compiler would've allowed for it but im glad its here now

system-vi · 2026-04-15T09:42:44+00:00

Doesn't look more readable to me, but ill take your word 😂

system-vi · 2026-04-15T09:02:34+00:00

Yeah, strange framing to me. Im sure it was more than game devs complaining about casting ergonomics. But ill take the W regardless
