yes-rs is a joke, not a serious project.
- justin_oaks 1y agoI agree that it's not a serious project, but I wouldn't call it a joke. Jokes are funny.
- ripley12 1y agoThe README was meh but skimming the source code was amusing. If nothing else, they certainly committed to the bit.
- speed_spread 1y agoThere are some very bad jokes. Cruel ones also, where the only people laughing are the jokers. The outcome doesn't denature the intent.

- jeanlucas 1y agoActually a joke doesn't necessarily needs to be funny, and depending on the framing not even humor. Gregory Bateson's "A Theory of Play and Fantasy" (in Steps to an Ecology of Mind) (1972): Bateson argues that certain communicative acts signal themselves as "play" or "non-literal." A joke is such an act—structured and marked by "metacommunicative" cues, indicating that it should not be taken at face value. Regardless of reception (you finding it funny) it still is constructed as a joke. Sorry for being pedantic :^)
- tonyhart7 1y agoso bad joke then??? good joke must be funny
- estebank 1y agoWhether a joke is funny to a given person is context dependent. “A dog walks into a bar and says, ‘I cannot see a thing. I’ll open this one.’” Is this a good joke? Do you find it funny? If not, do you happen to be a Summerian circa 1983 BCE?
- tonyhart7 1y agook grandpa, you are funny now
- Y_Y 1y agoGood reference, but I think the context is needed for the joke to make sense in the first place, whather it's funny or not comes later. Further reading: https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/tbgetc/comment/i084cmk https://www.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/tbgetc/comme...
- kazinator 1y agoA joke should be funny. Satire doesn't have to be funny; it just needs to make commentary through irony.
- DonHopkins 1y agoJoking aside, this is Marvin Minsky's paper "Jokes and their Relation to the Cognitive Unconscious", published in Cognitive Constraints on Communication, Vaina and Hintikka (eds.) Reidel, 1981. More fun than a barrel of an infinite number of monkeys. https://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky/papers/jokes.cognitive.txt https://web.media.mit.edu/~minsky/papers/jokes.cognitive.txt >Abstract: Freud's theory of jokes explains how they overcome the mental "censors" that make it hard for us to think "forbidden" thoughts. But his theory did not work so well for humorous nonsense as for other comical subjects. In this essay I argue that the different forms of humor can be seen as much more similar, once we recognize the importance of knowledge about knowledge and, particularly, aspects of thinking concerned with recognizing and suppressing bugs -- ineffective or destructive thought processes. When seen in this light, much humor that at first seems pointless, or mysterious, becomes more understandable. >A gentleman entered a pastry-cook's shop and ordered a cake; but he soon brought it back and asked for a glass of liqueur instead. He drank it and began to leave without having paid. The proprietor detained him. "You've not paid for the liqueur." "But I gave you the cake in exchange for it." "You didn't pay for that either." "But I hadn't eaten it". --- from Freud (1905). >"Yields truth when appended to its own quotation" yields truth when appended to its own quotation. --W. V. Quine >A man at the dinner table dipped his hands in the mayonnaise and then ran them through his hair. When his neighbor looked astonished, the man apologized: "I'm so sorry. I thought it was spinach." >[Note 11] Spinach. A reader mentioned that she heard this joke about brocolli, not mayonnaise. This is funnier, because it transfers a plausible mistake into an implausible context. In Freud's version the mistake is already too silly: one could mistake spinach for broccoli, but not for mayonnaise. I suspect that Freud transposed the wrong absurdity when he determined to tell it himself later on. Indeed, he (p.139) seems particularly annoyed at this joke -- and well he might be if, indeed, he himself damaged it by spoiling the elegance of the frame-shift. I would not mention this were it not for the established tradition of advancing psychiatry by analyzing Freud's own writings. >ACKNOWLEDGMENTS: I thank Howard Cannon, Danny Hillis, William Kornfeld, David Levitt, Gloria Rudisch, and Richard Stallman for suggestions. Gosrdon Oro provided the dog-joke.

- readthenotes1 1y agoWell written joke projects are still going to be far better than the vast majority of corporate code....
