I was looking for a literary agent last year and checked their twitter's. Found this gem from 2011

money quotes, як то кажуть (і сама стаття трохи стрьомна, атлантік ніби натякає демам, що хуй з ним з фашизмом, обіцяйте дешевий макдональ)

My understanding is that it is consistent with method calls, which might've been important especially with "old" keyword arguments. Maybe, as Jean says below, "just easier to parse this way." Consider this:

It was always a bit funny for me how, with all Matz's hatred for explicit types, the official docs kinda applied an informal notation to do just that (in other places it could even be `array_of_sym` or something similar):

This is so unitentionally funny. Nebula Awards adjusted their rules to become stricter on gen. AI: www.sfwa.org/2025/12/19/p... (which is fine) But the way they put it into rules, omg. Both the wording and intention of 11.2 is... peculiar.

I googled the guy, he is... special. joel.id/resume/ This looks like a joke/AI-generated fake resume (30 yrs of experience?.. CTO of blockchain startup, drone hardware developer IN KYIV?..), but his digital footprint strongly corroborates it. Reddit, 18 (sic) yrs ago, on him dropping some idea:

I once had an extremely quick-witted one.

Щороку цього дня я пощу вірш, який моя дружина, Ірина Скачко, написала у 2021-му.

Яблуко з Єгипту
хурма
молоко
слоїк із медом

діти просили
піцу
«кур’єр у дорозі»

на порозі
холодна синя година

на вікні тьмяна плямка
свічі

йди на мій вогник
примарна голодна дитино
на відбиток
у віконному склі
невідомих харчів

їж

їж не кричи

Some OSINTers claim they know the weapon that did it 🤔

The last naturally looking post on this account, or reply from it, was back in 2023. I don't know which possibility is funnier: 1. it was always fake 2. it was stolen 3. it was willingly given as an ad board 4. this is real Matz using Bsky as a side hustle ("my GitHub sponsor" implies (4) but IDK)

I had a pretty close phrasing at the end of my spellchecker study (in 2021, before the LLM became widespread, so it was about ML in general): zverok.space/blog/2021-05... A lot of things have changed since, but I still like to think about what ML has as "experience" (not even "knowledge")

God, am I tired of the Western ability to ignore we exist at all. Because for a good argument on war, there is no need to mention the biggest war in Europe since WWII. Also, it is OK to reframe (again!) the imperialistic authoritarian Soviet Union who started WWII together with Hitler thus.

I mean... I subscribed to several dozens of users, but mine looks like this. The standard FOAF-type feed (FriendFeed, old FB, pre-Musk Twitter) is "all my subscriptions and everything they liked/commented". Then throw in some controls ("no, not likes of this one").
