Notes


Modern programming

As seen on 4ch:

// just call a fucking function to draw text using some low level
// graphics api
font = create_font("Arial", 16);
draw_text(x, y, font, "hello");

Modern programmers:

GraphicsFactory gf = new GraphicsFactory();
Graphics g = gf.CreateGraphics();
FontRegistry fr = new FontRegistry;
fr.DownloadFont("www.google.com/Arial");
fr.SetSize(16);
WebBrowser w = new WebBrowser();
w.SetGraphics(g);
w.CreateHtml("<a font={}">hello</a>, fr.GetFont("Arial"));
w.Render();
// aah, much better.

Richard Stallman on vaccination

I suggest that the government adopt a policy of vaccinating everyone that is arrested (in the absence of medical reasons not to). - Richard Stallman

Oh, Richard Richard … you really should just shut the fuck up sometimes. Did you forget what the F stands for?

Capitalism 101

One of the essential tenets of capitalism is that it isn’t a scam if enough hegemonic corporations engage in it.

Funny de-Googlers

People who are de-Google-ing or de-Facebook-ing their life are funny.

These days, no one wants you – your physical company. People are aiming towards your attention and your credit card.

More Linux DE fragmentation

Oh good, System76 is writing a new DE for Pop!_OS, in Rust even. That’s exactly what Linux needs, more fragmentation.

Startup News

Startup News 💩 - Just a circlejerk for West Coast soiboi iToddler webdevs who hate software development but got into it anyway so they could be a part of hipster startup culture. The pretentiousness!

ᑐᑌᑎᑕ

I am quite familiar with the Dune universe after reading everything Frank Herbert wrote, I loved David Lynch’s adaptation of Dune, I ABSOLUTELY loved the Dune miniseries (including Children of Dune) and I stopped watching Villeneuve’s ᑐᑌᑎᑕ at half. Cringe strong in this one is. Sorry but you can’t compare Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista with Alec Newman, Susan Sarandon, Ian McNeice, Alice Kriege and James McAvoy.
