I cannot think of a dumber thesis than that ChatGPT's DAU is in any way linked to the usefulness of AI as a technology

I couldn't disagree more. Everything about this site is perfect.

Sorry it doesn't use enough frameworks or wizbang scroll-hijacking flyovers or email-harvesting popups, but it conveys everything I want to know quickly and efficiently and distraction-free. In recent memory this is the fastest I've found a "download PDF" button. By far.

I have spotify plan that amex failures have cancelled twice in the last 10ish years. Emailing them to retry the charge works, I'm sure it's just random outages and it's never bothered me. But it's also never killed me before. That would be evil.

Same with "readable syntax". Nobody sets out to design something deliberately unreadable. It usually means that it conforms to the author's personal flavours and there's nothing wrong with that but the implied "everything else is unreadable" subtweet doesn't really help anything. Case in point:

    each planets() (planet){
        println("Hello " + planet + "!");
    }
I bet that the double () () here leads to some pretty unreadable code outside of this happy path. But that's just my opinion, not some objective truth

Most generics work by monomorphisation, which basically means the compiler is doing a copy paste from int_btree.go to string_btree.go with the types changed. There is no runtime cost except text segment bloat. Generally modern compilers are smart enough to unify the identical machine code paths too, so you might not even get the code bloat.

> I so wish the Linux community would get its act together and

Be the change you want to see in the world. Open source developers are volunteers scratching their own itches, working on their own time. I wish someone would come build me a house for free too, and if they did I'd be hard pressed to complain about the number of windows.
