Agreed. Please just don't use LinkedIn and maybe LinkedIn will die. For the times I have to use it, I use a browser plugin to hide the feed.

I understand that, I'm saying that people mis-use them when they mean to use an em-dash. I think I ass-u-me'd a bit too much in my comment.

He says exactly this in the comments on his page. This article is specifically about writing/art.

People seem to LOVE parens, although I was taught that they are almost 100% never the correct thing to use in prose. But apparently "some fucker" will accuse me of being pretentious ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Otherwise, I see people just use

Ahhh makes sense if it's a fork. Odd that it's not marked as one. Sort of an odd thing that you can get associated with a repo you don't even know exists. Thanks for engaging me and my confusion.

I did. Still 3. But then I'd ask my original question that I didn't post: how the hell does this repo have 422 contributors?

by sodapopcan 3mo ago
Is there something known wrong with github rn (aside from everything, I guess)? It claims there are 422 contributors but when you click in there are only three.

I'd say the downvotes are for: "No fuckin' shit we can just AI." This is clearly an article about the (and I can't believe I'm saying this) "classic" style of programming from, like, a few years ago.

Ohhhhh Diag(αt), right. I was almost there but had left the placeholder "Diag(foo)" and never noticed. I now see is why I didn't come up with it first. So close!

I have to admit, it's kinda nice to read a comment that's simply complaining about programming language design again. For a second I thought there wasn't even going to be mention of AI, but alas...
