All of the videos from the first #jj-vcs conference are out! www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

if you want to be good at computer programming the first thing you should do is NOT write any computer programs. you should post 50 times a day. only then is there any chance that people will call you a Good Boy and put Treats in your mouth; and this is the most noble of pursuit of knowledge

lol i think i saw the actual poster for this at the google offices when i was there testing.googleblog.com/2025/10/simp...

i could easily do an Isaac Chotiner interview without making a fool out of myself. he just hasn't invited me on for precisely that reason

moons ago i remember finding a cockroachdb issue about "can you do auto-TLS bootstrapping with EKE+password" and got a response like "yeah we hear this all the time from customers! and would accept a patch for it!" and the guy was like "you're outta your fucking mind, get a new PM." valuable lesson

people love to over intellectualize their personal grievances. not me though. all of my grievances are perfectly calibrated

there were some reports on Reddit that somebody just booted Fedora 42 on this thing and installed CUDA and it worked fine lol

The most misused word in the English language is "me". Everyone uses it to refer to themselves, but actually, it refers to me.

the former maintainers of Bundler and RubyGems have a proposal: we want to move Ruby forward andre.arko.net/2025/10/26/w...

ok so, the CPU on the GB10 is really, really nice. ten Cortex-X725 (512KiB L2, 2.8GHz max clock), and ten Cortex-X925 (2MB L2, 4.0GHz clock). 2x core complexes, 5/5 cores each. the X925 is basically Zen5 levels of single-thread performance. i'm rather impressed with it

i read the thing about Gooning from Harpers last night, and my opinion is that it was pretty funny; it was supposed to be a funny article. not thinking about it too much more than that, it's not especially deep

cat loves 2 scream at me

i am about to eat an insane burger and i’m practically thumping my feet in preparation

lobsters is a very funny place because you'll see a bunch of people talk about stuff like the CLA like this thread very confidently and most of it will be completely and obviously wrong and/or irrelevant lobste.rs/s/ghdv6w/i_s...

i spend 2 weeks off tekken and now my electric timings are dogshit. ok

bluesky at least does have reasonably functional block and mute functionality. i say this as someone who lives by the rule that you should mute someone the nanosecond they annoy you for the first time

im at the point where i need custom random things for my office setup and i might have to buy a 3d printer finally i think

TL;DR: I'm going to be leaving @oxide.computer next month, which I'm very sad about. But it's to join @ersc.io , which I'm very excited about!

[after saying it ironically 400,000 times but this time actually meaning it] Is that good

Loaf brothers!

[guy who has only ever cared or thought about open-source software shit] I'm getting a lot of open-source vibes from this...

this is a very good reference table with great illustrations (ARM scalable vector instructions): dougallj.github.io/asil/index.h...

Who Killed Jeffery Epstein? The Missing Minutes.

i could have easily stopped AWS from going down. i simply chose not to

all other things aside, it is kind of funny when whoever runs the ffmpeg social media account posts all the time like "heh, doing epic optimization is easy when you're a freakin' epic C/assembly programmer 😏" and then starts bawling when project zero pokes a dozen holes in their codebase lol

Curtis Sliwa comes across as a genuinely fucking weird guy. you don't really see this specific thing much anymore, or at least it's overshadowed by more extreme stuff

guess what im doing

wow, this guy is 50? i can't believe it, he looks freakin' over 9000!! *posts a picture of the most 50yo-looking man to ever live*

that doesn't sound very good

added a WebUSB platform device capability descriptor to #GlasgowInterfaceExplorer so now it pops up a prompt like this if you plug it in and Chrome is running

so, what's the down low on good large capacity SATA solid states these days? i need like 6x multi-TB drives for a new nas. 16TB is still probably too pricey but i'm interested in general options

hey it seems you wrote something using a small bit of rhetoric in the title. i just wanted to tell you this isn't lost on me, right before i take it literally and start complaining,

Reddit fucked up the internet a lot but vote systems are one of the more insidious outcomes. for computer nerds it's like catnip because it lets dullards play out fake Foucault vs Chomsky fantasies in their mind while others clap like seals because it fits an idea of Liberal Western Intellectualism

computer programming is an annoying topic to discuss online in general but one thing i dislike most about vote-based forum systems is that they are rife with this idea "not learning anything about something" is actually a display of pious wisdom and not a form of insane, literal gaslighting

Do YOU or someone you know in Austin want to speak at the next Austin Systems meetup? We have room for 1 more speaker for next week's event (Wed Oct 15) to talk about some interesting tech for 20-25 minutes. More details at austinsystems.org

this article is interesting because it spends most of the second half explaining why the headline isn't possible, yet it just sort of treats this as a little fun factoid rather than a clear example of the way tech CEOs just make shit up and lie about it? www.tomshardware.com/tech-industr...

announcing a new community-focused gem server from the team previously behind rubygems: gem.coop. join us and start using it today!

jjcon was fucking lit, git merge was fun, and i got to work with my team. it was a good week

my opinion on Typst: it’s good, but I still yearn for the true power of a Pollen-like lisp-based tool for writing papers and publishing them in various forms

(DMing girl) Life is so randommm it's like.. Whyyyyyy Lol. (logging into Albert Einstein role playing account) (DMing same girl) Life makes perfect since

it is my only goal in life to make the world a Worse Place. i am motivated by this and this alone

my name is Compiler Segfault

100% correct. there's also freeloaders (corporate, not individual!) who freely exploit this system & let's be honest, you also have to be a little weird to want to actually maintain a piece of free software. it's such a pain in the ass. also why so many antisocial people end up "stepping up" i think

libxml2 thing is pretty unfortunate. but i suspect it probably won't work out in nick's favor with his agpl3 fork. pretty clear case where you should be able to get a public grant to fund you ~indefinitely for stuff like this from any number of functioning countries. alas

recently found out one of my friends has this follower on insta who just sends her $20 every time she posts a pic with her feet in it. doesn't ask questions or make requests or do anything like that just hits the cash app. 100% business mindset

what's the best workstation build out there right now. is it worth waiting for anything? willing to buy an actual workstation with professional parts if it can justify it

Did you know that if you get a bad wound you can take blue chew to bleed out faster

oh yeah. that's right
