TIL that "My" in MySQL is not a possessive adjective but the name of the daughter of the main author of the database Michael Widenius.

I just wasted 5 years

Since I've somehow become a relatively popular person, I had a privilege to observe human behavior on a decent scale. One thing I noticed is that when people criticize me they are often talking about themselves. So yeah, criticize me and I'll tell you who you are, I guess. :)

Matrices from Linear Algebra are basically a Programming Paradigm.

OH GOD! Aight, POSIX has a very innocent function called `char *dirname(char *path)`, right? It returns the dir part of the path. BUT! On BSDs it returns a pointer to a static storage and on Linux it inserts a NULL-terminator in the middle of your path. Portability my ass...

TIL Ampersand "&" is just a sloppy handwriting of Latin word "et" which means "and".

I'm excited to announce a new album, though songs on it aren't exactly new. There are 3 remakes of my old songs which really needed it, and 2 other songs that didn't make it to my last album. The album should be out in a month hopefully. #chiptune #8-bit #famitracker #album #trackermusic

Big Tech collecting data and spying on us is pretty bad. But on the other hand all their software is buggy unusable broken shit. So it's not far fetched to assume that this quality may extend down to the data collection and processing too. So maybe it all cancels out in the end?

Just caught a pretty nasty bug in my software renderer with clang -fsanitize=undefined. Who needs Rust really? Learn clang sanitizers - they are awesome!

Me taking a break after an entire day of fixing a bug in the legacy codebase

Programming Languages are Walled Gardens. Assembly is the way to escape them.

RGFW was the topic of the last tsoding stream! youtu.be/0rUBhqR6ckw?...

This is what Social Media Engagement of the Future looks like

The most crossplatform UI framework isn't a Web Browser. It's VT100 terminal. The programs using ANSI Escape Codes will very likely be usable in 10-20 years unchanged. And this isn't a good thing, btw. API politics got so bad we can't agree on how to put a triangle on the screen.

X macros in C

Any C programmer knows that Segfaults are great! They crash your program and tell you where exactly it touched the wrong memory. Segfaults are ur friends! The real problem is a slow and silent corruption of writable memory over many days. Rusties crying about Segfaults are noobs

The AI market is FUCKED! QUICK, SHORT NVIDIA! *proceed to short-circuit his Nvidia graphics card*

/\d{8}-\d{6}/

Every new C++ release be like

I just realized that the ThinkPad's clit is also a part of its logo.

clicky-clicky

Does anybody at Google remember how to set the language of the UI correctly anymore?

The fact that generative content works so well on the majority of people reveals that the people don't watch the creators for the reasons the creators think the people are watching them. For the majority of people it's all just basic stimuli to evoke very primitive reactions.

Who the fuck the inventors of Chess made it without Unity or UE5?

LLM vs Compiler

Undefined Behavior in C

This is better than Agentic AI. Only noobs will disagree.

It's interesting how when you soak dried chickpeas in water, the water becomes slightly warm and chickpeas start periodically making distinct clicking/popping noises. There must be some biological processes going on...

Trying to use speech-to-text to search for anything be like

Okay, I'm done with todo lists.

I posted wrong video again lol

There is no Software Progress

If I eat a lot of sugar and then some yeast packet, I'll probably blow up, but will I also get drunk?

I fixed Bash syntax with my CLI parsing library

I just ate some sugar and I don't feel depressed anymore

Man the Followers feed sounds good in theory, but in practice when the platform becomes big enough, it's so easy for the bots to follow everybody and clog it up with spam...

Shipped this syntax to flag.h

I'm glad you guys enjoyed my latest web development course. No go and use your newly acquired powers to make the world better!

People like to accuse me of not making anything useful, so I shipped my first ever SaaS to prove my haters wrong

Would you unfollow me if I did a web development stream?

"People smarter than you already figured it all out" is the stupid people's way to tell other stupid people to stay stupid, ignorant, and uncurious, because they need to justify their stupidity somehow. The question is not WHO (smart, not smart) made it this way. But WHY.

The Grace Hopper's lectures online are so cool, it's hard to believe she created COBOL.

TIL C++ doesn't support anonymous structs. It also doesn't support proper designated initializers (but I already knew that). This language diverged from C so much I'm legit thinking it is not worth supporting for a C library.

AI bros who think that they can outsource their thinking to an LLM. I propose to outsource your breathing to a fan. Powerful enough fan can circulate the air better than any human. And their power will only grow exponentially. 🚀

Asking real questions with this one

Wait, isn't "JavaScript Hoisting" simply an emergent behavior of how a Toy Scripting Language would work if you first parse the file and then evaluate it? Why such a pretentious name for this?

I mean One of these is tedious to read and takes way too many lines to write in order to acomplish any useful effect. The other is ASM.

lol

Isn't it convenient how you can slowly enshittify pretty much anything and then dismiss the people who complain about it as just some boomers who's lamenting over "better times of the past"?
