@elyn that is excellent. Welcome aboard, you'll fit right in. ️

@elyn it's not exactly a self-fulfilling prophecy, but almost?

@elyn

Architheuthis Flux was not wrong. 7 reshares already! That must be close to a world record.

[errant@glaceon.social]

[enigmavoice@mastodon.ml]

@elyn so, how do you like it here?

[ancoghlan@mastodon.social]

@elyn Python types:

"Everything's an object, right"

"OK, sure"

"So type, the type of types, is a subclass of object"

"OK, ..."

"And object, since it's a type, is an instance of type"

"... wat?"

(the amount of "lying to computers" involved in starting a Python interpreter is genuinely fun, for a given definition of "fun")

[elyn@tech.lgbt]

@ancoghlan that's insane

[elyn@tech.lgbt]

@ancoghlan I love that every last component that goes into making a computer do stuff is lying to every other component making the computer do stuff
