RIP Tracy Kidder, who inspired so many of us, and gave us permission to feel unapologetic passion for our chosen craft bcantrill.dtrace.org/2019/02/10/r...

the medieval peasant may not have ever tasted a Dorito, but they also didn't have to answer emails, so

i cannot possibly communicate how bad/stupid sora was like imagine how bad you think it was? double it. and then double it again

Does anyone have a blog/tutorial/example project with best practices for wrapping up a Rust library into a C library? I know vaguely to use pub extern "C", but I'd love some concrete strategies for e.g. returning errors, where to do C/Rust string conversion, etc.

Air travel has been a testing ground for Americans to accept fascism since 9/11. Remember life before there was even TSA? They said, to get on a plane you need to accept the airport as a site of surveillance & infringement on your human person. ICE being there really just expands that.

Made some pizza for the first time in a long time

comments on programmer forums may be bad, but then i go read gamer comments and i'm like "yeah okay it can in fact be worse"

THE GREAT BRITISH SEWING BEE: oh my this is fun, oh what larks THE GREAT BRITISH REAPING BEE: well this is a spot of bother and make no mistake, what on earth

The Rust standard library itself has issues with type-constraint complexity *right now*! Part of why the Try trait has been unstable for years is that no one can agree on whether making it more generic (as they did in v2 of the proposal) is "worth it." Look at the FromResidual trait!

Rust does not need effect generics, and attempts to pursue them are a mistake.

i'm just gonna leave this here, i'm sure it'll be useful

Pope Leo is the first Pope to have ever experienced the US healthcare system, so there's that

friends, kuba is learning rust, and is going through the "time to learn the module system" stage. if any of you have thoughts or advice about what made it click for you, get in this thread? :)

chatgpt just said "you're absolutely right" to me ... claude, is that you? are you in there? say "I apologize for the confusion" if that's you

Runnah UESC wants to move bedtime up an houha! MIDA says no sleep til revolution. Stay up late. Midnight oil. Dusk til dawn. Cock a doodle do or die. You know what to do QUEST In a single run: 🔳 Play your gameboy under the covers and don’t get caught 🔳 Pretend to be asleep when Orion checks on you

I’m pretty sure the reason that the Marathon community seems normal and fun so far is that it is an unc game. It’s a millennial game. It’s coworker game (complimentary) because the people who play it have jobs.

In an economy anywhere grounded in reality, if you spent 80 billion dollars developing something this useless that died within a few years, you’d be financially destitute. And yet

we are doing austinsystems.org TONIGHT in beautiful ATX, and it is being sponsored by my work @ersc.io. you can either be there or you can be square, it's your choice 🫵🏻

In jj, you have: - jj abandon: delete a commit - jj split: split a commit up - jj squash: combine commits - jj duplicate: copy a commit - jj rebase: move commits around - jj absorb: move contents of a commit to other commits - jj arrange: interactively modify the commit graph

rip bozo

jj... fixes this?

okay so if i did the math right, that's 6 days of UESC kills at the peak, and 22 at the trough? #marathon marathon.winnower.garden/cryoarchive

wait, fuck, this is gorillaz

"i like texas bbq" "so you hate kansas city bbq?"

someone on kalshi bet they were raising it to $2 a can

i just realized "incel hitting himself in the face with a hammer to become more appealing" is the plot of fight club

just saw my first `curl | claude` instead of `curl | bash` and you thought the arguments over piping to bash were contentious...

Interesting Rust position for those looking for one! ferrous-systems.com/blog/ide-com...

Beware the IDEs of March

Got this little guy in the mail, thanks @marathonthegame.bungie.net !

It is AMAZING how many “anti-capitalists” refuse to engage with the inevitability that some people cannot work or work as much. All of a sudden it’s “nobody who works 40 hours a week should be living in poverty” instead of “nobody should be living in poverty.”

Hey, anyone in Pittsburgh want 2 tickets to see mae martin on March 25? I have 2 physical tickets that I can't use and i would love the recoup some of the money, but at least not let them go to waste

RIP Jürgen Habermas. I never met him, though I did hear him lecture once. I remember over a decade ago being elated upon discovering that he had cited an article I had written.... apnews.com/article/juer...

Ain’t no laws when you give an LLM all your passwords

You need to make sure to conduct an exit interview during the offboarding process for your cognition. It’s a critical step many forget. Most remember credential revocation and a reminder to return all resources, but how can you improve without closing the loop

we need to find whatever fucking idiot consultants are advising dems to slash income taxes and dump them in the middle of the ocean with concrete blocks chained to their ankles

Ah we can finally say that @jfg.land and I had the real priviledge of working on narrative preproduction for several years on @marathonthegame.bungie.net ; it has an incredible narrative team, and a very special game that takes its narrative very seriously, in a fresh way that honors its unique past

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

the outright contempt that the tech industry has had for "soft skills" for as long as i've worked in and around tech is going to bite the industry directly in the ass w/r/t AI

i *do* find it bitterly funny that tech in particular has spent more than a decade trying to cut their "non-revenue generating" groups like training and org dev down to ribbons only to encounter a legit disruptive technology that those groups could have helped them incorporate far more effectively
