  • Alternatively, instead of using the “very” prefix, you can use the “as fuck” suffix. Check it out: Noisy as fuck. Tasty as fuck. Important as fuck. If you really want to underline your point though, combine them. For example, when you want to express the gravity of the situation or something, say “This situation is very grave as fuck!”. See what I mean? Now that’s what I call very eloquent as fuck prose, shit that’ll suck the air out of the room for sure.







  • If anything, to me it seems more important for a slower language to be optimized. Ideally everything would be perfectly optimized, but over-optimization is a thing: making optimizations that aren’t economical. Even though c is many times faster than python, for many projects it’s fast enough that it makes no practical difference to the user. They’re not going to bitch about a function taking 0.1 seconds to execute instead of 0.001, but they might start to care when that becomes 100 seconds vs 1. As the program becomes more time intensive to run, the python code is going to hit that threshold where the user starts to notice before c, so economically, the python would need to be optimized first.


  • Eh, I upvoted. Sure traveling the world is neat and all, and I would if I could, but traveling to a nearby national Park or something like that for the weekend costs nothing but gas and time and the chance to “touch grass” is worth it. I’d wager that most people have a neat spot locally that they’ve never visited, I have a few of those myself that I’m aware of.
