Out for a bike ride around Lake Merritt on a beautiful day in Oakland today, I *very* slowly approached a group of three elderly women walking toward me on the shared mixed-use path section, so they could safely pass while I waited for space. (Yes, there are […] [Original post on social.lol]

[ranting] Dog barks at me "Hi! Are they friendly?" "No, he doesn't like strangers. Don't come close, I don't know what he might do" You don't know what he might do? Why the fuck is he in a neighborhood with families then? Get him some fucking training. Introduce him to people. I know what […]

Today I was surprised to learn that according to Overpass, only 72 pubs worldwide in #OpenStreetMap have have the highchair tag. 😲 Based on own my surveys, many pubs in Australia and the UK are family-friendly, and provide highchairs, so I am surprised more people haven't tagged this.

I was so cute back when I thought computers were different and separate from people. Simpler times!

The funniest class of orange site posts are "Here's how I wrote $THING without any dynamic memory allocation. First, I allocate a big arena at startup. Then, at runtime, I dynamically allocate memory within that arena."

Would you still love me if I allocated memory at runtime? 🥺

Arguing about programming languages online? I'll show you something interesting. Every programmer celebrity is either "C is better because it's hard to use" or "JS is better because GCs are faster than malloc." Jon Blow? C. Casey Muratori? C. Despite his […] [Original post on freeradical.zone]

The reason you can't find a satisfying set of async/await semantics is that no amount of post-post-post-graduate math can save you from the fact that programming a "function" where things can change between any two lines is fundamentally difficult and boring Someone had to say it, sweaty 💅

The dwarven urge to dig a hole and the elven urge to live in a tree are evolutionary remnants of the fact that if you stay on the ground, a lion will eat you

Urbanism is a religion based on the faith that reinforced concrete won't collapse (Parking garages are scary)

The lack of high fantasy flutes in Game Of Thrones should have been the first red flag

Something tells me that Google Maps introduced the "plus code" as an excuse to break compatibility with other maps like #openstreetmap That "Something" is the fact that Nominatim doesn't know how to handle a plus code, and GM doesn't offer an easy lat/long pair. hmmm.... Maybe geohack knows?

[politics shitpost] The year is 2025, and computers work the same as housing. You aren't allowed to run two web servers on the same computer because of single-family zoning rules. Your phone has a 7-inch-wide bezel because of setback rules, and a mandatory minimum CD-ROM drive. An old man […]
