that one-liner is just ...... mental

imagine the fucking brain it takes to go "okay yeah I'll put this through opencv" instead of literally clipboard-paste | qrencode | clipboard-capture

just whole brain genius levels of bad

I guess the supposed appeal is in the implicit dehumanization and racism.

yeah, that's actually how I've always read it. looking at people in lives stretched to the limit of tolerance by the pure drive for survival, and instead of having a fucking lick of empathy and going "wow yeah, all this is kinda shitty, maybe we should change it" they go "oh yeah very clearly this person is incapable of self-directed behaviour and action"

I suspect it's the frontend on awful that fucked this up, viewing their post in plain/preview shows the correct formatting

placing my bet on the trailing .

Try YAML, the serialization format recommended by four out of five Nordic countries

yeah there are so many fucking crazy footguns in yaml

another I quite like:

❯ ipython -c 'import yaml; d = dict(); d["d"] = d; print(yaml.safe_dump(d))'
&id001
d: *id001

hackers and builders (both in the a16z definition of) are some of the fucking worst things out there today

oh, cool, they also claim to be a twitter engineer. that’s probably telling too (if true)

[–] froztbyte@awful.systems 5 points 2 days ago

dammit now I’m going to have to look at twitter

tpot fresh on my mind, too. just yesterday i was telling someone about how one of the people semi in that cluster had me going 🤨 and then had to explain a little about some of the highlights of tpot

and now of course instead of people handcrafting xml documents by string-cating angle brackets and tags together in bad php files, we have people manually dash-cating yaml together in bad jinja and go template files! progress!
