n=1, but I saw this kind of bartering happening regularly at farmers markets in Oakland. It's also a pretty common paradigm in food services industries -- trading staff meals

There's also a paradigm here where the person selling at the market is not necessarily the owner of goods sold

so he spent the past month or so trying to influence the market in his direction via his twitter account and it didn’t work

interesting thought — seems like there’s arbitrage in comparing algorithms with fast paths for various kinds of inputs, even if the end result is special casing a new fast part of modifying your input to better fit a fast path

yes, it's hard to know which is more annoying, that or their complement, the rw member of any minority who thinks every group is superior save their own

ahh man, yeah something like that would be sick

the one pro that seems clear to me is that you’d get more explicit than implicit behavior that could hypothetically be easier to debug. were there other advantages you were thinking of?

what’s your favorite property of rust that you’d want to keep? I wonder if it’s possible to keep the type level programming in a c-like paradigm

100%. I can’t imagine what being in the middle of all that for years at a time is doing for normalizing narratives. In that sense, nobody is immune from doing to themselves what Twitter did to Elon (who was already terrible), just nonstop reprogramming

I considered myself to be an afropessimist but I was still too hopeful. This site is libbed out for sure, but at least I can avoid *that*

Not like, oh this account normally posts memes but like 1% of the time they’re racist, but like, fully 95% of their post content is “blacks are subhuman we should kill them all.” Why is the CEO of a cloud database company following this account?

It’s cope imo
