    That’s an insult in my language

    It means “you can’t do it” but it has the same effect as “fuck you”. It’s kind of the middle finger in Turkish. Nah is the word equivalent but nah has a lot less effect than the gesture itself

    There are variations of this. One where you move your thumb between your fingers. There is also one where you pull your hand back, do a “shloop” noise with your arm, and then wiggle it. If they licked their arm before doing it, that’s gross but it’s also the strongest variation

    I’ve also seen ones where they put three of their fingers in between the other hand’s fingers. But that’s mainly comedic

    In most other languages it means good luck and stuff.

    Why can’t we just have fewer people too?

    Won’t somebody think of the ECONOMY?

    A lot of countries around the world are living a so called “underpopulation crisis” even though the population is still growing frighteningly fast. Population going down is only a problem for capitalism, and it’s going to doom us all








  • It’s actually irritating to me that the sun is bombarding us with ionizing radiation

    (I know, not the same intensity) but think about the amount of precautions we take before turning on a UV lamp. Or before turning on a very bright LED which you are not supposed to look directly at. Well, neither you should look directly at the sun, but you get the idea

    In a perspective, sun is so radioactive it can even decay paint and plastic! It can literally cook you alive and make your skin fall in pieces. This just seems usual to us because we were born with it, people would freak the hell out if a medical procedure had the same side effects

    Look, I can make a right wing campaign out of this! BAN THE SUN SAVE YOUR KIDS FROM 800T (Terahertz) RADIATION

    2023 Barbie is nowhere near based, it feels like a half baked apology from Mattel, who happens to be the ones which forced unrealistic body types over women for a whole century

    Honestly, not a good movie either, can’t recall rn but I feel like 25% of it was about mattel corpo propaganda.

    Some of it was fun though. I liked the flashy songs




  • I used it for a while and I think it’s been one of the best languages I’ve tried. C for example is too barebones for modern desktop apps. Apps written in Rust are great but most of the time, it’s just not worth the effort. And stuff like Python, JS is… uhh… where do I even begin

    I think Go hits the sweet spot between these. Unlike C, it at least has some simple error/panic mechanism, GC so you don’t have to worry about memory much and some modern features on top of that. And unlike Python it can actually create reasonably snappy programs.

    In any programming language, there will always be multiple cases where you need to link C libraries. CGo, although people don’t seem to be adoring it, is actually… okay? I mean of course it does still have some overhead but it’s still one of the nicer ways to link C libraries with your code. And Go being similar to C makes writing bindings so much easier

    Multithreading in Go is lovely. Or as I read somewhere “you merely adopted multithreading, I was born with it”

    Packaging is handled pretty nicely, pulling a library from the net is fairly trivial. And the standard directory structure for Go, although I’m not used to it, makes organizing stuff much easier and is easy to adopt

    As you would’ve guessed from the amount of times I mentioned C in this comment, I basically see Go as the “bigger C for different situations”
