Hey, best friends. I have a JavaScript puzzle for you.

Consider this:

function (p, onSuccess, onError) {
// call onSuccess on resolve
// call onError on reject
// do not modify unhandledrejection behavior
// return p, not a wrapper promise
}

Is it possible? How?

One thing they tell you, but most founders convince themselves won't apply to them, is that when a big company buys your startup, they WILL fuck it up. Maybe not right away, not while you're still there. But it's not yours anymore, and big companies are in the business of fucking things up.

What’s the difference between a rigid social class of people trapped in wage slavery, and a magic spell that’s created while riding on waves at the beach?

One is a serf caste and the other is a surf cast.

something you learn about open source when you work on a sufficiently large project is that you *shouldn't* welcome all PRs

What is the impulse that drives wealthy and highly educated investors and executives to not just fuck up by giving ai the keys to the kingdom, but double down and bare their whole proverbial ass by disclosing every increasingly moronic decision that led to the extremely predictable failure?

Ever notice how people who worry if there's something it's like to be ai, if the ai doesn't like working for us, etc, are often perfectly willing to object to ubi because it'll remove any incentive to work?
Like, my guy, maybe don't worry about the toaster being conscious while I'm right here.

Bad

When driving a car, you are morally compromised.

It makes you, at least temporarily, impatient, rageful, distracted, entitled, and petty, all while in control of a device that can kill instantly and accidentally, in a legal environment that largely protects drivers.

Somebody should invent a way of distributing labor and resources that doesn't rely on networks of trust which can be compromised by bad actors.

I think my most embarrassingly vulgar marxist belief is that I think, on some level, "in order to keep capitalism steady, we need more people to be more evil" is at the root of why actual cosplaying nazis are everywhere now and anti-wokeness is establishment policy

Fun fact! The "child" decades go from birth to your 30th birthday.

0-10: baby child
10-20: competent child
20s: expert child
30s: baby adult
40s: competent adult
50s: expert adult
60s: baby old
70s: competent old
80s: expert old
90s: bonus round
100s: bonus round 2

It's common to say of one's enemies experiencing misfortune "of course I don't wish death on anyone" as a sort of moral flex, but fuck that. I hope he dies, I hope it hurts, aI hope it's slow, and I hope he's fully aware and terrified the whole time he's being erased at long last from this universe.

My rage at the right wing in this country is cold and dark. It is a small comfort, but a comfort I take nonetheless, that every one of the self-deluded "good people" will one day face what they have supported, and if the end of the Third Reich is any indication, many will kill themselves in shame.

People have been shouting for years that no one should be a billionaire, that wealth on that level is personally poison and societally catastrophic, and now we have millions of terribly written emails demonstrating in the clearest terms that every one of those shouts was impossibly correct.

I think it is OUTRAGEOUS that people are LEAPING to the conclusion that some our post prominent Americans are child rapists when it is EQUALLY PLAUSIBLE that they are simply indifferent to whether other people are child rapists so long as those other people can offer them access to power.

Fun fact: the Agaricus bisporus is *the* domesticated mushroom.

As a baby mushroom you know it as the cheap white button mushroom, as a kid mushroom it's called a cremini, as an adult it's called a portabella.

Same mushroom.
