my Hadestown / Very Hungry Caterpillar crossover is receiving mixed reviews

I'm *very* excited to report that we got initial funding and have hired our first Rust maintainers! RustNL's Rust Maintainers Team starts out with two full time maintainers, one intern, and five part-time maintainers, now stably employed to continue their work on Rust! 🎉 rustnl.org/maintainers/

So Jacob was left alone. A man was passing by, so Jacob pounced on him and wrestled with him until daybreak. When the man couldn’t overpower him, he wrenched Jacob’s hip out of joint, and said, ‘Let me go!’ But Jacob replied, ‘I will not let you go unless you give me your Lucky Charms!’

i wake up and i tell myself "i will be less mad online" and some days i am less mad online but this week has not been the most successful all things considered frankly

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."

Some fun compiler-adjacent #RustLang reading: How can you make sure [panic!] is unreachable in part of your program? This write-up goes into how we approached callgraph analysis in #Ferrocene – and how you can try it out for yourself! 👉 ferrous-systems.com/blog/callgra...

one of those murder mystery dinner parties, but we already know that what killed her is grief. we're just looking for someone to blame. but who can we blame, when it was all of us, together, who abandoned her. and what does it mean that grief can tear a body into ragged, bloody pieces like that

we should increase the supply of electricity and associated infra until people complain that it costs too little

Gotcha

I don't know why I still have this saved, but perhaps it was for this very moment in time.

Six update. Hubby was doing the crossword and said "what's a five letter word for 'longing'" out loud, and Six said "sehnsucht" from the hallway without looking up from the spot on the wall it stares at. David said "that doesn't fit" and Six said "it never does." Then it went back to the guest room?

so, what's the conversion rate between rose reacts and day old teethmarks that remind you of her smile

Key to efficient learning is realizing how we ACTUALLY learn, not just what FEELS like learning. I wrote a Claude Skill for some friends to help them think about this and they've liked it -- see Principles for some directions you could explore github.com/DrCatHicks/l...

Can you build serious skill-building momentum while ONLY pursuing "performance"? No probably not. A classic learning issue is that "PERFORMANCE IS NOT LEARNING"; optimizing for short-term performance will often lead us astray, I call this out in a lot of my talks www.youtube.com/watch?v=B-bM...

Bunny was quiet for a long time after she hung up. Staring, silently, at nothing. Letting her eyes unfocus. Eventually a drop of water fell on her head and she sighed, and got up, and went inside. Behind her, the trees were blowing in the wind. The cherry blossoms would start blooming soon.

college freshman, drunk on stolen whiskey she can barely stand the taste of: so like. why is there something rather than nothing her roommate, also drunk, knowing that the answer is "so we can be here right now. so you can touch my hand as you pass me the bottle": why does there need to be a reason

about a year ago I read a blog post that was a queer analysis of The Shawshank Redemption. I have no idea who wrote it and I can’t find it again. Has anyone else seen it or know where to look? cc @economeager.bsky.social, I don’t recall if you wrote it but it seems like something you’d have written

"strong" type systems are such a silly concept. it's actually really simple: there are statically typed languages like python and dynamically typed ones like LLVM's C api

No, that wouldn't fix you. I know what would. I've known for a while now, actually. Sorry. Should I have told you? Should I tell you now? Or is that yours to figure out.

One of our engineers made a PR at 3AM last night, with the description "Had a dream where delete action was miss-clicked instead of csvexport. So removing the option from action list. Prefer this dream to never come true" Do not underestimate nightmare-driven development
