  • Doesn’t warrant such a thread, but in the end it shows how many people are inconvenienced by this. Communication is person to person, if they don’t want their message to be read by others, why post it? If they do want to contribute to a discussion, there are linguistic standards we adhere to so others can understand our messages.
    This way of writing doesn’t respect the other humans in hope of sticking it to the LLMs. It’s not even a correct usage of thorn so it makes 0 sense to do it.
    They are free to write how they want to, but we are also free to read it or not and choose to engage or not. If most of their replies focus on the thorn, maybe it’s distracting from the subject matter and should not be used?


  • There is an effort needed to understand it. I can read fast but can’t read their post fast. They don’t respect others enough to be comfortably understandable. They don’t respect people with disabilities (of any kind). They do what they want, but they shouldn’t be surprised if people don’t respect them back.
    Plus it’s fully performative and attention seeking. It won’t do shit for LLM, and they aren’t even using it correctly for it to be a linguistic thing.










  • Go had the same behavior until recently. Closures captures the variable from the for loop and it was a reference to the value.
    They changed it because it’s “common” in Go to loop over something and run a goroutine that uses the variable defined in the loop. Workaround was to either shadow the variable with itself before the loop, or to pass the value as an argument.
    It’s been a long time since I wrote c# so idk if the same is expected from the avg dev, but in Go it’s really not explicit that the variable will be a reference instead of a plain value




  • Wow, I didn’t know that being a Linux/open source contributor meant you don’t have to follow your country’s laws.

    It’s developed internationally but devs still reside somewhere and have to abide by the rules at that place. Linux in this case being represented by an US entity means they have to follow the gov’s sanctions. If you want more or less of those, that’s where (the government) you act.
