that's it folks i have literally discovered the most cursed thing in racket

and yeah this is actually empty name variable
eg

Welcome to Racket v7.9 [bc].
> (namespace-set-variable-value! (string->symbol "") "meow")
> (eval '||)
"meow"

so you've heard of naming your variables weird unicode or emojis or whatever well yeah racket supports that obviously, identifiers are any UTF-8 string
(define 🦈 "sharks")

you can even define a variable as a number as long as you escape the parser with ||, pipe is kind of a "quote" that makes anything inside it be a literal symbol instead of being parsed as other data
eg
(define |10| 10) defines a variable _named_ 10 with the value 10
(define |"| "lol") defines a variable named double quote
etc

well
you can name a variable _empty string_
> (define || "shonks")
> ||
"shonks"

also VSCode is a broken mess and I hate it but don't get me started on that

ice cold take:

LSP is a good idea but why is it HTTP oh my god
Microsoft stop trying to make every editor VSCode challenge

embrace-extend-extinguish is still at work, but it's being coated by "❤️​ open source"

Exciting New App Allows Users To Be Pawns In 26-Year-Old CEO’s Little Game https://www.theonion.com/exciting-new-app-allows-users-to-be-pawns-in-26-year-ol-1819579504

I once read a very pro-anarchosocialist book that made a sort of thing about a scientist participating in cleaning duty because that's how the society was run, and thought "pff so I clean our bathroom every week.".

Then I discovered that some of my colleagues have servants that come around one or twice a week to clean, or even every day to clean and prepare food.

Now, when I clean my bathroom, I feel like a anarchosocialist freedom fighter. "Take that, mildew! This alcohol is the pure socialist thought that will clean the capitalist-scum from my bathroom tiles!"

Cleaning the bathroom is much more exciting this way.
