Yes, as I’ve said, this is just me getting old rather than any issue with the joke format :)

Man, I’m getting old. I don’t understand why all jokes have to be fake twitter screenshots now.

I think it’s a bit confusing, but in my view almost all socialists (including democratic socialists) are communists since the end goal they are trying to achieve is communism. Socialism (which can be described as welfare state, majority-publicly owned capital, and planned or market-socialist economy) is almost always seen as a stepping stone towards communism (stateless, classless, moneyless society), even though it is would also be an improvement on its own.

(to confuse matters even further, Lenin’s party was initially called Russian Social-Democratic Labour Party, even though today’s understanding of social-democracy would only apply to the Menshevik wing).

GenAI image generation is OK at text for half a year now, hence thousands of sloppy/unimaginative comics in your feeds. Not sure this in particular is AI because the text is well-aligned and matches with the background, and in general everything is kind of coherent, but it possibly could be.

I was more talking about (+ a b) and such.

Eh, reads pretty naturally to me. That said, (like I lisp)

Don’t forget the cop and the brown-children-bomber. Although maybe austerity cuts will make that one job as well.

Not least because there’s no such thing as a “compiled” or “interpreted” language.

I’d say there is (but the line is a bit blurry). IMHO the main distinction is the presence (and prevalence) of eval semantics in the language; if it is present, then any “compiler” would have to embed itself into the generated code, thus de-facto turning it into a bundled interpreter.

That said, the argument that interpreted languages are somehow not programming languages is stupid.
