Don’t worry, I’m sure Lemmy is perfectly capable of tail call optimization at scale

I have always felt like NeXT/OS X Interface Builder has serious “path not taken” energy, but the fact that OpenStep/Cocoa failed to become a generalized multiplatform API, as well as the version control issues for the .nib format (never gave much thought to that, but it makes sense) sadly doomed it. And most mobile apps are glorified web pages, each with their own bespoke interface to maintain “brand identity,” so it could be argued there’s less than zero demand there for the flexibility (and complexity!) that Interface Builder could enable.

I am only mildly concerned that rapidly scaling this particular posting gimmick will cause our usually benevolent and forebearing mods to become fed up at scale

If you want a warm and fuzzy Christmas contemplation, imagine turducken production at scale

Hmm, sounds like you are suggesting proper static analysis, at scale

Not just pinkies, my friend, we are promising with all fingers, at scale!

Our algorithmic infrastructure creates a scalable graph over source code at scale.

There’s a lot going on here, but I started by trying to parse this sentence (assuming it wasn’t barfed out by an LLM).

If even the orange site is willing to roast you this hard, I guess your only response has to be pulling up stakes to go live in a neofascist social bubble instead.

“Brutalist” is the only architectural style they ever learned about, because the name implies violence

Obviously, if they’ve got magnesium alloy to divert into Game Boy ripoffs, the attack drone contract must not be going particularly well

Shit like Palladium is going to be absolutely hilarious to dig up in the back of a used bookstore 20 years from now

He knows the promo rate on the maximum, unbounded scale subscription is gonna run out eventually, right?

The response has a high probability of being evasive bullshit, but will be worth archiving no matter what.

Sure John, let me know when you’ve got that set up. Something that retains my entire search/chat history, caches the responses as well, and pulls all that into the context window when it’s time to generate a job referral. Maybe you’ll be able to do something shotgunning together remaindered hardware this time next year? I’ll be waiting.

Is Pulse the Jony Ive device thing? I had half a suspicion that will never come to market anyway.

Based on my cursory perusal of CCRU lore, it all seems to boil down to amphetamine-induced mania and hallucinations
