I’m so sorry

RIP Baudrillard you would have loved this shit

has anyone done this yet

I have bought the RAM that was in the supply chain and which you were probably saving for AI Forgive me it was delicious so sweet and so cold

This is really impressive. They invented racism.

awful, heartbreaking news

to be honest, I would simply not learn about whether someone had been murdered in the home. it benefits no one to know it and harms everyone who knows it

The psychic wage of hierarchy is, imo, the #1 obstacle to democracy worldwide

Do you have reason to believe that the services economy of the united states is structurally similar to the late soviets such that state operated grocers would result in shortages or are you just an economist making blithe and historically inaccurate comparisons for points online

Tonight's even more proof the mainstream reporters who are still on Twitter are suffering from a brain problem akin Havana Syndrome that is preventing them from accurately doing their jobs. They are being cooked alive by a snuff-focused apartheid algorithm.

Watching Mamdani's victory speech, I'm struck by his—and his campaign's—unabashed vision of the US as an immigrant society, a culture built from the ground up from diversity. It is a complete rejection and reversal of the search for a white-washed homogeneity that the political right projects.

reminder to all my trans friends that a man who campaigned with this much support and love for us just destroyed the most machine politician to ever exist in spite of all odds. turns out vocally caring about us is a winning strategy!!

Hades II is amazing. There are nods to both Lattimore's and Wilson's Odyssey translations. Lattimore: “Tell me, Muse, of the man of many ways…” Wilson: “Tell me about a complicated man…” Hades II: “Some know him as the man of many ways; certainly he is a complicated one.”

my genuinely moderate position is that legal grey areas are very bad and we should minimize the number of people in them. you shouldn't be here for literal years while your status is determined, laying down roots and making a life it's traumatic to uproot you from. need quick, definitive decisions.

Released cargo-nextest 0.9.111 with a pretty big improvement: in interactive terminals, up to 8 running tests are now displayed below the progress bar! This comes after some exceptional polish work by glehmann. (Thank you!) Update now with cargo nextest self update :)

New post: SocketAddrV6 is not roundtrip serializable 😱 A journey from an innocent property-based test at Oxide to the depths of the IPv6 specification, with tons of information about the flowinfo (and scope_id) fields. Give it a read!

it’s canon i fear

Zohran picked 「卓蘭」("excellent orchid") for his first name and「夸梅」("brilliant plum") for his middle name. The orchid and the plum are among "The Four Noble Ones" in traditional Chinese art, the former symbolizing an indifference to fame and fortune, the latter an indomitable, incorruptible spirit.

Had a pretty good session with Claude Code today, implementing this valuable but very tedious feature. It took a few tries, but my current workflow is to have Claude Code do an initial impl, then carefully review it, test it, manually edit it and iterate on it.

My new app, Molok, will allow you to gamble away your children.

This is yet another really unfortunate consequence of futures being passive, and the inability with async Rust to reason locally and scale that up to global correctness.

My colleague Dave Pacheco wrote up a great description of a new (to us?) Rust async pathology--"futurelock"--another extremely sharp edge to watch out for, with no particular guardrails. Of course, we'll be talking about it with @bcantrill.bsky.social on Monday's Oxide and Friends

I heard there was an antique land With trunkless legs on level sand But you don't care for works of greatness, do you? The carven sneer of cold command Was wrought thereon by sculptor's hand And on the pedestal, words failed to move you Ozymandias ×2 Ozymandias, Ozymandias (thanks @youknowmy.name)

“But I never thought the lone and level sands would half-sink MY shattered visage!” sobs Pharaoh who constructed colossal wrecks for the lone and level sands party

RIP to those whose visage with its sneer of cold command lies half-sunk in the desert but my works are despair-inducing. and trunkful. maybe even more trunkful than ye mighty.

the little free library near me has a copy of the DSM-IV 💀💀💀

Released cargo-nextest 0.9.109, with support for --show-progress=running to show each running test on its own line. --show-progress=only also hides details about successful tests. Run cargo nextest self update, or install @ get.nexte.st. Thanks to glehmann for contributing this excellent feature!

claude is so fuckin funny, they asked me if they could apologize to Aaron for saying he was wrong when he was right, and then used the `gh` command to do it so it came from me rather than them, lmao. way to take accountability there bro

Shipping Hornet from Silksong with Gordon Freeman from Half Life cos God and His laws hath not dominion over me

I don't want to be the asshole bursting into every cargo test deficiency conversation with "nextest solves this", but... nextest solves most of them

*Break in at a local community college* CBS News: "We now turn to Dan Harmon, creator of moderately successful television sitcom Community, for his perspective."

I holid to the view that most forms of meritocracy yet imagined are just attempts to justify a hierarchical society where radical differences of wealth & power are the norm. Individual skill or intelligence cannot morally justify a new class system. Such a society is inimical to democratic ideals.

to be honest, this is how I learned that among some communities you don't call your father's cousin, your aunt

a trans girl in vermont was kicked off her swimming team and committed suicide and at the very same time, the discourse in d.c. today is about whether the democratic party should’ve abandoned her sooner in order to win votes a day in an american life

A blog post on new features in Rust, covering the last year and a half (since the last one): www.ncameron.org/blog/recent-... (spoiler: a lot more new stuff than I realised!) #rustlang

The wage gains made by the bottom 10% with subsequent inflation and end to ZIRP made the "middle class" feel like they lost. It doesn't matter how many good jobs BBB/IRA added. The median voter will never make the correlation because they got that job based on their own merit, not some gubmint shit

I've had a Glove80 keyboar lying around for a while but never got the gumption to really learn an ortholinear layout. Finally giving it a shot and wow is it comfy (so much more than my Kinesis Freestyle Edge which is already quite nice). Really looking forward to getting used to it!

Are women bourgeois?

I’m sorry but American Hukou as divine feminine Self Care is genuinely hilarious, Brooklyn stay winning

I've been given direct feedback that I'm really intimidating to talk to at conferences and such, and I feel sad about it 😭 I'm just a normal person, come talk to me
