douchescript··on Tea if by sea, cha if by land: Why the world only has two words for tea
Yes and frunch!
douchescript··on Modern terminal-based text editor
Nice! But hey, rebinding control-z to redo in the examples? How’s that for terminal convention compliance?
douchescript··on Google Web Starter Kit
Gulp, how quaint
douchescript··on Python 3.6.0 released
Dont worry :) soon the other ways will be deprecated. There can be only one _pythonic_ way to do it.
douchescript··on If TypeScript is so great, how come all notable ReactJS projects use Babel?
I work with a typescript project, and the classes of errors that are caught by the TS compiler are not worth the hassle of having to use typescript.

Maybe "the masses" can code without struts.

Typescript is a pile of crap that's why.
douchescript··on Why I Don't Use React Router
Yes, but if my version only has the features I need. Then it's lighter and most probably faster. Since OS tends to support a smorgasbord of usecases it's more often than not bloated and unnecessarily complex when used.
douchescript··on Solutions to Integer Overflow
The compilers have it, google __builtin_add_overflow as an example.
douchescript··on Solutions to Integer Overflow
There's always the overflow flag in the cpu, I don't get why it's not readily available in C when needed.
douchescript··on My time with Rails is up
The things that suck in rails are the views, the asset pipeline and the stupid helper methods for routes that are so complicated for nested routes it's a joke. The database part is actually the good part if you do it right.
douchescript··on My time with Rails is up
Oh no, the Merb heresy comes back to haunt. No merb was not better, it was just different and sucked in some different ways.
douchescript··on Google applying to patent deep neural network (LSTM) for machine translation
Their goal as it seems up to this point is to get a monopoly on the framework and technology with opensourcing of their framework. Good for hires and keeping the competition in check. A patent will tighten their grip on ai.
douchescript··on How Russia Works on Intercepting Messaging Apps
Yep, looked super.
douchescript··on Lipstick on a Pig a.k.a. the Raspberry Pi 3
The rationale for booting in 32bit mode is among other things that ram is fixed and small, so you don't need that extra address space anyway.
douchescript··on A struggle within MIT’s IT department over its future
Agile/scrum defense arguments are like a doomsday sects defenses for why dd didn't happen, everybody didn't believe enough. Now if all would believe...
douchescript··on Code that will break in Python 4
Amen!

Ruby managed the transition to unicode much better as they delivered 2x performance increase at the same time AND labeled the new version 1.9 instead of two. Much the same problem.

Yes python 2 is OK but it's legacy mode and people will move on. I think one of the selling points of python vs ruby is that its so often OK to just use system python(2) versus ruby where you really need to use something like rbenv. Selling point for ruby is that the community is absolutely obsessed with making good tools to facilitate working with it.

I have already in my mind decided the future is in languages that are designed with parallelism in mind. Another breaking change for that?

douchescript··on Code that will break in Python 4
Why even adapt for python 3? Nobody uses that stalinist version of python anyway. Its incredibly bad to have to use ifdefs in a scripting language like that. Code should be written so that it works regardless of version.
douchescript··on David Bowie, an Internet pioneer
At 98 those predictions were already old hat.
douchescript··on Aseprite: cross-platform, open source sprite and pixel art tool
It's good stuff, I've used this quite a bit, although I still prefer macpaint for 1bit graphics (this is more geared for slightly higher palettes). Love the pixel perfect line tool.
douchescript··on Taco Bell Programming (2010)
Xargs with crawled data sounds like a nightmare. Allow me to link to example.com?$(rm -rf /).
douchescript··on Taco Bell Programming (2010)
shellscript that crawls web? Surely doable but never secure.
douchescript··on Ki – A lisp for your JavaScript
So the compiler and toolchain in javascript then? News to me.
