The issue is that "less restrictions on horny stuff" means "more restrictions from payment processors" nowadays. Doubly so if you're a Russian platform like Subscribestar is.

Why do you feel stupid? There is absolutely zero discoverability.

But you should've probably discovered View -> Update Speed :)

Is it tho? Lambda calculus looks as abstract as these to me. And it was from about a century ago.

I guess it's a terminology thing. As someone from a C# background, not all keywords are reserved words. Only new reserved words break backward compatibility.

C# has added some keywords (record, and, or) without breaking backwards compatibility.

You mean new reserved words? For example, I'm quite sure when C# added "record" it didn't break backward compatibility, as old code that uses "record" as a variable name still compiles.

By the same logic, fare evasion is "metro company's problem to deal with".

It technically is, but if someone makes a programmer's salary and still jumps over turnstiles, I consider it a big red flag over their personality.

Why can't it add keywords? Adding a new keyword doesn't break backward compatibility. It breaks "forward compatibility."

Interesting to see the first two comments in this thread have the opposing opinions on backward compatibility. I guess it depends on how deeply Python cut you.

The title: Inside the Decline of Stack Exchange

The content: A random guy looked at Google trend charts and fabricated some conclusions.

The opposite of "inside".

Someone should feed an LLM all the Joel on Software articles and ask it to comment on Stack Overflow.

But a serious question: is Joel still in charge of SO? Has he retired?

I found it interesting (and kinda worrisome) that some fine-tuned Llama 2 models are trained with GPT-4 generated data. So if GPT-4 got something wrong, the error would propagate to a lot open source models.
