10 years ago, I thought "programming is too hard, I'll make tools to make it easier"
5 years ago, I thought "I'll make a new language to make it easier"
now I'm working on tools to make "making new languages" easier 😂

@RalphCHancock and yet portray their positions in absurd caricature. If you were to say to Steve "so you claim that the dissident or estranged is always perfectly innocent" can you imagine him saying "yes that is a faithful description of my position"?

[🦋 Jared Forsyth @jaredforsyth]

@RalphCHancock I have not; I got a preread manuscript that did not yet have the forward included. I would love to hear your thoughtful criticism of the book. Can you see how the lines I quoted weaken your credibility? You rail against their rejection of alternate possibilities (1/2)

[🦋 Jared Forsyth @jaredforsyth]

@RalphCHancock Can you point to quotes that led you to this formulation?

[🦋 Jared Forsyth @jaredforsyth]

@RalphCHancock > Any consideration of the possibility that dissidents might be in the wrong and not always, necessarily the best judges of their own choices is dismissed at the outset. The dissident or estranged is always perfectly innocent and even wise.
These are pretty strong claims!

@KimballCall From this line it seems clear that we're working from different bases, and I'd like to understand your position better.

[🦋 Jared Forsyth @jaredforsyth]

@KimballCall Hi Kimball! Would you be willing to articulate your working definition of "racism" or "racist"?

> To briefly push back on what seem to be Hugh’s priors, I think Republicans, conservatives, and even Donald Trump are genuinely not racist.

Introducing Zero

The programming language for agents.

I wanted a systems language that was faster, smaller, and easier for agents to use and repair.

Explicit capabilities. JSON diagnostics. Typed safe fixes.

Made for agents on day zero.

@natemaklocklin the good place

@MathHappensOrg ok this is incredible. Is this available somewhere?

@NoblestCalling @ThymeToBeBorn I sing my kids to sleep with "Mother's Lament" by Cream, and my wife is like "what is happening"

[🦋 Jared Forsyth @jaredforsyth]

@NoblestCalling ...17 bags? for 2 people for 5 days?

@j_divis Ok I know this is a drive-by, but I just wanted to put in a plug for developing deep friendships with folks from other religions. I've learned a lot about christian life from Catholics.

@mitsuhiko 168m!! only took 64 attempts 😅

One of my “go to” lines for years has been that the sign of success for a country isn’t that poor people drive cars, but that rich people ride the subway…

this idea is mostly a paraphrase of @hankgreen's video https://t.co/q72CsVXlEi

@mholt6 the value of anything that is mass producible quickly falls to that of its raw utility, and things that are non-utilitarian (fashion, art, media) have most of their value tied up in novelty/uniqueness/"human touch" and so the value collapses entirely

New post! "You should try contra dancing"

I took a break from managementposting to pitch you all on my favorite niche activity:

@ryanburge While this chart does indicate that "there must be some on both sides who say it's important and don't go", it seems tricky to interpret. Could you make one that's just "% of folks (D vs R) who say it's important that actually go" would also be interesting for the flipside too
