Omg Lisp. I’m dying. Our object oriented programming class in college involved programming in Scheme. This was… a while ago.

Saving this forever.

They are. A lot of the new math curriculum my kid took in elementary school was exactly about that. Estimating, quick ways to calculate things, and sort of an underlying grasp of what it all means vs just memorizing multiplication tables or something. So much better than the bullshit way they taught me 40 years ago.

Wait so it isn’t AI generated if AI takes a group selfie?

So in the analogy porn corresponds to git? Or to source code?

agent_flounder, 8 months ago

Git is a tool. GitHub is one implementation of a git server. Git is used to manage source code. GitHub hosts / manages source code.

Porn is content. Pornhub is one service that hosts content. Porn is not a tool. Git isn’t content. Source code is content.

So porn isn’t really analogous to git.

Maybe a better analogy would be… Git is to GitHub as outlook mail client is to outlook server–or Gmail app to Gmail server.

Ugh I’m an idiot. Thanks.

That…isn’t quite right.

Git is a distributed version control system for software development^1.

Version control allows you to manage code versions and changes to code. You take snapshots, so to speak, of every change you make.

Distributed, in this context, means multiple developers can write code on each of their development computers and merge the changes, usually to a centralized git server.

GitHub runs a web-based git server at GitHub.com so teams can store their code in a central location on the internet.

1. Ok, technically, even though It’s often used for software source code, it can be used for any set of files and directories.

To save a click

Orphan-Crushing Machine is a metaphor for “heartwarming” news stories about someone remedying the immediate effects of a sociopolitical issue that ignore the root cause of said issue. The catchphrase and metaphor satirize these stories by comparing them to a story of a person raising money to keep 200 orphans from being crushed where nobody questions why an orphan-crushing machine exists in the first place.

Hm. What if I want it stuck in my head for 8 days?

I can probably manage PQ (potato quality)

agent_flounder, 8 months ago

Yeah, if you could just, uh, go ahead and delete this image from my mind? That’d be greaaaat…

Get out of my mind. ಠ_ಠ

It sounds like he couldn’t get a break, couldn’t find a home, never found the key to success, and likely felt this job was the wrong type.
