#jj-vcs The best part about learning jj is the fact that `jj undo` is a thing and operations are reversible. It makes it much easier if you fumble somewhere. A godsend truly.

A livestream of a volcano in the Philippines captured a meteor crashing to Earth today. What are the odds? Mayon Volcano, Location: Albay, Luzon, Philippines

A CTO raises spec-driven agentic 'coding' and I raise this haskellforall.com/2026/03/a-su...

hedgedoc.grimmauld.de/s/P2_wvU0w58 Please, remove that coarse grained crap and use proper capabilities. I'll switch defaults to nixOS the day this is fully done, not even joking.

Ok folks, what's the closest thing to an #email but entirely #E2EE like signal. Surely I'm not the only one thinking of it? Others would have thought of something before me right? And no, protonmail/tuta/whatever doesn't count.

this is why I find climate dooming so frustrating there is no point - none - at which throwing up your hands and going “well we’re fucked” is the correct response every tenth of a degree matters and can make a big difference and is worth fighting for

Hello #rust #rustlang users, I want to know what people do, when 90% of two funcions are similar in essence, similar in structure, similar in practice, and similar in what they want to achieve, in nearly similar ways, with the bulk of the difference being error messages and logging strings. [1...]

abyss.fish/there_is_bea... Ah man, I love this blogpost. It feels... relaxing to write. There's thought involved in saying what you want. And that's a thing we really cannot say about the majority of things nowadays. That's also why I love blogging.

Wtf lmao, I actually thought it was @theonion.com instead of gabby while just looking at the image

The user-group dichotomy, instead of proper ACLs from the get-go, is the curse of unix

Man, say what you want about #zig, but they worked wonders with comptime. My primary complaint with #rust macros: macro_rules=clunky. Hygiene should not be something I care abt. + The AST is too coarse. Anything proc-macro requires the syn crate and rebuilding the AST. THE COMPILER DID IT ALREADY!

ok what the fuck powerpc

Man, with all the vanguard drama, I'm just glad I play stardew on linux. Like, not even blaming anyone or anything here, just glad.

I just simply don’t believe I should have to install ring 0 software to play a video game and anyone involved in making me do so should be forced to provide unlimited tech support for me forever.

I caught an anti-cheat holding process handles open to Signal messenger. It can do both at the same time - stop cheaters and do turbo evil shit.

I should have spent time working on my blog instead of creating this crappy meme

yOu dOnT uNdErStAnD pRoFiLeS WilL kiLl RuSt tHeYrE sO mUcH bEtTeR tHaN tHe bOrRoW cHeCkEr the committee, probably. man, safe cpp would've actually been so much better

in about a week I'll be debating an AI entrepreneur, to make the claim that generative AI is an anti-humanity technology in preparing for this - are there any stories I might've missed, or ones you found especially emblematic?

haskellforall.com/2026/03/a-su... How did I miss this gemstone of a blog? @fullmoon.id did you not post about it here or did bluesky... just not show it to me 😭

I recently assisted a course in C programming in uni where the enforced IDE was a TTY and the problem statements were .txt's via curl. They were made to use one of vim/emacs, use gdb, and had to look up glibc docs from manpages. Poor kids didn't know how to use tmux and suffered

"github source code allegedly offered for sale" who in their right mind would buy though

More so considering how they destroy old books after procuring them.

Do we have a formally verified double-ratchet implementation?

Gonna repost this so that it shows up in the new #jj-vcs feed and someone finally answers me 🥹

Dune, 1965

Thanks to all you lovelies for your blog feeds! Gotta add more from indieweb too! If you have recommendations, do share~ tech, hardware, software, selfhosting, PL, rust, Java, OS stuff, and more along those lines

The fact that spectre and meltdown class of attacks was discovered by people who worked at Intel and AMD _while prefetching was being implemented_ males me think that they knew about this from the get-go for many, many years...

#jj-vcs folks, tell me what the jj equivalent is for this workflow - each feat/fix gets a separate branch - each branch has multiple commits and occasional rebases within that branch [1/...]

pretty sure plugins will spur on the emacs package era all over but it'll be a lot more... idk... popular(?) because of multiple reasons, primary being that steel is saner than elisp

I wrote a new blog post explaining why I think more people should practice "freecoding" (coding as much as possible from memory) haskellforall.com/2026/05/type...

"According to Velloso, less than 3% of paying users actively use Copilot, even though Microsoft has pre-deployed it directly into the Windows 11 taskbar and across the Office suite." lol, lmfao

It’s beautiful technology that unfortunately has a casino built on top

Rewrite it in Rust has a whole slot at pldi

Idek what to say after that diff

Open source maintainers at profitable companies: stop asking permission to fix what your employer already depends on. No paperwork. No programme. No manager’s blessing. Just maintain it on the clock.

🚨🚨 STABLE TRY TRAIT MENTIONED, THIS IS NOT A DRILL 🚨🚨

Done with this brain cancer called college

Ngl that's actually a VERY valid take

I have an exam in a few hours, my last one in college (hopefully), and I haven't been able to study at all because the course is sopping wet garbage.

You, me, all of us.

Always a great sign when the author of your programming language says he doesn't remember why it was designed that way, but TRUST, there was a reason in mind

This seems like a useful reaction image

If you're using u-blue, you're writing a Containerfile. You have all the documentation you need to write one (for the most part, never used bootc so can't guarantee anything).

' @haskell.org got a borrow checker so it became sooo much better than rust and we at Bun spent 5k worth of tokens again to do this rewrite to Haskell ' is something that might not even be farfetched atp for Bun considering the rust rewrite

"The only way to deal with an unfree world is to become so absolutely free that your very existence is an act of rebellion."

"Threats to"... the ridiculous lie. The USA has NEVER been a true democracy. It was intentionally built flawed to appease rich people & racists. No Government has attempted to change that. Proof: Rich & Racists still control EVERYTHING. 36th in democracy. Top 35 ALL have Universal Healthcare.
