sir this r1 business is getting to you

lol

#Python can do literally anything

Can and should are very different words

We do what we must, because we can

that's opening a should of worms

Can you program in Latin? Can variables have multiple values at once? Sorry, obviously you don't know Perl. 🤷

Maybe it’s the Stockholm Syndrome and distance talking, but I mostly enjoyed my time using Perl for work. It was neat. Stupid, but neat.

teaching myself Perl now... favorite part so far has to be that brackets are whatever character you feel like they should be for that line. Nothing feels quite as hacky yet right as s(hello)[world] being the same as s/hello/world/

Don't forget to use Acme::Bleach; to write really clean perl code! 😁

wait I thought this was just a joke... but it's real? Perl is a miracle

most unicode codepoints are valid python variable names :P

Yeah, python cribbed that from perl6. 🤷

moving them goalposts quickly

C/C++ ➡️ WebAssembly Objective C ➡️ WebAssembly Python/Ruby/Perl/PHP/Java/Scala ➡️ WebAssembly JavaScript ➡️ WebAssembly Bash ➡️ WebAssembly

Python ➡️ goose farming

The secret is that nothing important in Python is actually Python. It’s FFI all the way down 🙃

what about everyone's turing-complete, shell escape language, yaml

Yaml ➡️ The sweet release of oblivion

check out this website

🚨🚨 That's a lot of YAML 🚨🚨noyaml.com

i'm going to wrap my website in a textarea

I'd persist it to a db though crdts are for losers, fastest connection wins

stop

I like to push PRs that replace random spaces with tabs in yaml files

truly depraved

Good Trouble

Hey what’s a lexicon in cs speak

nothing in particular but here at bsky it's the name of a fucked up language Paul made to describe what data our APIs take/recieve

to clarify to an audience of not just Stephanie - Lexicon is a schema definition language designed to suit our specific protocol needs (i.e. lots of open unions). It’s a little verbose due to being JSON, but this lets it be very easily machine-and-human readable, and it serves us very well

We totally could have a custom syntax instead, but imo JSON lets it be immediately obvious what the heck you’re looking at. Also check out atproto.tools/lexicons - it’s actually pretty smooth authoring them nowadays

glad you feel that way, if anybody knows what to be grumpy about you do check this out btw

AT Proto Toolsatproto.tools

“If anyone knows what to be grumpy about you do” omgggggg😂😂

So if we wanted to do a PR to add custom emoji reactions would it start with an addition to the lexicon, then Bluesky client support after that?

can you define open unions for those other people who are not me who don't know what it means

In the case of the embed record view, it can be a post, a blocked, post, a list, a feed, etc. But also since we’re an open network, it could be any old thing (i.e. a whitewind blog post) that we might not know about yet. Basically “one of these things or something else” github.com/bluesky-soci...

(Thank you Tim I almost asked but moved on in my guessing game)

My favorite type is "unknown"

:)

What a coincidence that it had a hidden power

I prefer an audience of Stephanie, as I’m sure you know

You can find an audience of Stephanie in front of a mirror
