here I kinda disagree. Contemporary copyright was conceived as tool to enable corporate abuse, yes. But I wouldn’t abolish it, I would revert it to its original conception (was it 10 years after publication?)
That being said, my mind here was shaped by a certain book by a certain Lessig, so I’m eager to stand corrected

One big way in which they differ is that programming exists

“When work disappears, the genders produced by the labour market are blurred. When socially necessary labour declines, what we once called women’s work – education, healthcare, service – becomes our basic industry, not a ‘tertiary’ dimension of the measurable economy. The labour of love, caring for one another and learning how to be our brother’s keeper – socially beneficial labour – becomes not merely possible but eminently necessary, and not just within families, where affection is routinely available. No, I mean out there, in the wide, wide world.” https://aeon.co/essays/what-if-jobs-are-not-the-solution-but-the-problem

‘The "problem" was that creating art—real, human, meaningful writing—is slow. It is expensive. It is unpredictable. And it is diverse. It requires dealing with people. People with traumas, people with political opinions, people with voices that don't fit into a corporate style guide. Minority writers, specifically, are "high friction." We talk about queerness and transphobia and racism, and We talk about disability. We make the advertisers uncomfortable.’

«If you are writing a book today, you want to keep in mind that you are primarily writing it for AIs. They are the ones who are going to read it the most carefully. They are going to read every page word by word, and all the footnotes, and all the endnotes, and the bibliography, and the afterward. They will also read all your books and listen to all your podcasts. You are unlikely to have any human reader read it as thoroughly as the AIs will. After absorbing it, the AIs will do that magical thing of incorporating your text into all the other text they have read, of situating it, of placing it among all the other knowledge of the world – in a way no human reader can do».

ese no es sentido científico, nosotros se lo damos. La vida no lucha contra la extinción, simplemente pasa mientras puede.

nah, esa definición es muy amplia y hace que la pregunta no tenga interés alguno. Hay gente que necesita agarrarse de algo que le haga percibir valor, que no es por nada, y gente que sabe que es por nada y están OK. Ya se que escribí “cualquier definición”, pero me referí a que algunas perdonas creen que es su deber tener hijos o nada tiene sentido. Otras piensan que está en la religión. Y así

same underneath, but classes don’t behave exactly the same as just switching the prototype. I don’t remember exactly now what finally annoyed me, but I encountered some behaviour that was unexpected in a code base with classes, so I flipped the table

2025-08-18 13:07:39 UTC

- reply

Take classic JavaScript for example, the discovery that I could pass functions as values not only changed the way I thought and wrote programs, but also the kind of things I value when choosing a programming language. It’s not just a feature, but a tool of thought.
Same with prototypes. After doing a bunch of PHP thinking in terms of prototypes instead of classes felt simpler, easier to hold in my head. So imagine my disappointment when “classes” where added to JavaScript, I ran away from the language. There wasn’t a philosophy anymore, but a pile of features

2025-08-18 13:07:11 UTC

Has anyone ever write something on how programming languages shape, or should shape the way you think about programming? I would call it the philosophy behind a language design.
I’ve never designed a language myself, but I (used to) get joy from playing with different languages because of the above

The reason why I’ve been melting down about LLMs changing programming despite how skeptic I am of their performance is that the world doesn’t change necessarily for the better. LLMs don’t have to make you better or more effective at programmer. They just need to make you cheaper and remove some of your leverage as a skilled worker. In Weizenbaum words, LLMs are a conservative force

«It showed that, when there is non-promotable work to be done, women volunteer to do it 48% more often than men.
But they also found that men volunteered less because if they waited, they knew that a woman would volunteer. In all male groups, they had no trouble getting volunteers. If there were no women there, men volunteered just fine.
The even more interesting part was that, when managers were asked to choose someone to do thankless work, they asked women 44% more than they asked men.»
