yeah that's always been what my impression of Clean was. although i think it requires flanderizing a language's design and not acknowledging the places where it's intentionally messy and pragmatic.

guaranteeing that bad things don't happen: practical, pedantic but tractable guaranteeing that good things do happen: insane, a fucking nightmare

tbh very enamoured with this terrible plumbing job a contractor did while openly admitting he super fucked up because he was sleep deprived
pipes going from a shed to a heat pump, the pipes and ports are perfectly vertically aligned but the pipes zig zag around eachother to go to the opposite intakes

calling everything in the python ecosystem 0ver if it hasn’t bothered to go to epoch 1 1!0.0.1 is a much more legit stable release than 1.0.0 (aka 0!1.0.0)

the weirdest thing to learn about japan is bloodtypes are a popular astrology-like there. it comes up constantly in anime but it’s so easy to miss because that system has no presence in the west. there’s so many random drops of “such a sagitarius am i right” that don’t even register unless you know.

dependabot trying it’s hardest to protect users from not immediately updating their lock so they can get the latest malware day 1 😭

“only happens to npm” is just objectively wrong, pypi users are constantly getting hit with the same attacks, the primary issues are common to all ecosystems lockfiles can partially mitigate spread but not really. pms have started deploying “don’t download packages that are too new” configs to help

Aria Desires @gankra.bsky.social · 22/05/2026
does this really make sense? every language package manager has this same problem, npm is only particularly distinctive for its scale (juiciness)

oxide and fasterthanlime our outliers and should not be counted :p the rust ecosystem is overwhelmingly boring projects that just use stable (maybe they have some ci to check nightly for kicks) and has like 300 dependencies “everyone’s on nightly” was a thing the rust team fixed in like 2018

“stable and no std” seems weird/contradictory, not sure what you’re seeing

thinking about how sad my boss was when the team was like “we can’t just dev against rustc stable, we’re moving to staying 2 stables behind the curve for the sake of distros and the like” he craves the features

Aria Desires @gankra.bsky.social · 15/05/2026
i do wonder what the actual distribution of users would be for the “stable” and “unstable” branches of a pypi/cratesio probably it would entirely be dictated by defaults (but i’m thinking with an oss hat and not corpy… but oss is probably the actual target)

function subtyping is easy, just remember you use **contra**ceptives when putting it inside and a **co**pay when taking it out

this is a total aside because i agree with the statement in practice but it is extremely funny to see the statement "claustrophic, cramped, hallways" next to screenshots of the biggest hallway in the world. cathedral-ass hallway with room for forklifts to pass eachother.

hearing that "good first issue" tagging is becoming useless because it just prompts a bunch of identical ai-generated PRs. makes me wanna burn down a datacenter. fucking. god. what a pointless salting of the earth.

not a lot of people know this but if a restaurant ever serves you sushi that looks like this you should send it back -- it's so old that all the rice has settled to the bottom
the kind of sushi where a single piece of fish is draped over a block of rice
